Best Practical is pleased to announce a new release of the Request

Fields. This allows you greater control over the format of your
articles.

and Classes

A full changelog is included below.

which the
user does not have permission to admin. - tla
* A lib to parse a:<num> URIs into article refs. This is basically
just a
subclass of fsck_com_rtfm, which already knows how to load
articles. - tla
* Fix custom field stuff so that articles can be extracted from
tickets. Not
worrying about single vs. multi-entry yet; will probably have to
go back
and fix that. - tla

- jesse

INSTALL

BUGS
=====
* Don't show articles twice. If we find an article by matching on the
Title/Summary we should skip it if we also find it by matching in
the
Custom Fields - falcone
* patch from Jeff Platter to search Content and LargeContent so large
articles are found - falcone
* XHTML correctness fixes from Dirk Pape - ruz
* use local header - ruz
* load a module first if we call a class method there - ruz
* Fix entry aggregator for negative searching on postgres - jesse
* Fixing upload/image Custom Field creation
* many misc bugfixes
* testsuite cleanup - jesse
* Updated XHTML patch from Dirk Pape - jesse
* bug fixes to the importer - jesse
* fix legacy of copy&paste - ruz
* drop unused dumper - ruz
* Adding custom fields on article creation didn't work. it now does.
- jesse
* made the CSS file identify itself as such - jesse
* escape URI, ':' is reserved - ruz
* drop unint warnings - ruz
* Sort articles in the pickone dropdown sanely - jesse
* Links API was being used incorrectly
- jesse
* The hotlist selector should default to an empty item - jesse
* Fix update code - alexmv
* Typo fix
* Allow setting HotList on create - alexmv
* If creation fails because of link creation, $ArticleObj->Id will be
non-
zero, as it *did* have a row in the article table -- even though
it was
rolled back. Forcing $ArticleObj to be fresh avoids a bug with
EditCustomFields thinking the article actually existed, and hence
not
having a sticky value. - alexmv
* Um, '=' != '0'; MySQL loves me too much, and let me get away with it -
alexmv
* Make tests pass again -- make the join not wrong
* Make it only have to select class when _nothing_ is specified -
alexmv
* RTFM search box is exempt from having to choose a class - alexmv
* Load RTFM searches from first RTFM search page - alexmv
* One-character patch to made uploading work again - alexmv
* HTML cleanups; proper nesting of topic levels, lost in r4214 - alexmv
* Don't show "no articles under this topic" if there are no articles.
Confuses the users
- jesse

* Now the "show all" links actually show all. - tla

* Make it so that only Text type custom fields can have ticket
transactions
extracted into them. - tla
* search fix - jesse

* Cosmetic fix -- don't show a button which doesn't do anything - alexmv
