2.0-RC1
Didn't take time to keep track of it.
1.4
I forgot to release a 1.4, since pre1.4 is in fact 1.4 (no changes have
been made between pre1.4 and 1.4, no bugs have been founded yet)
pre1.4
- configuration file format has changed (inc/config.inc.php3), so don't
use your old config.inc.php3, it won't work !
- language file format have changed, but you don't have to worry about it if
what you want is to use LinkBase. If you are a translator, you may be pleased
to hear that you don't have to translate the file again.
- an option to recover a deleted link (when displaying dropped links as
moderator)
- added a db_prefix setting that makes it easier to use LinkBase on hosting
companies that only provide one database. It is now possible to name your
tables lb_links, lb_contribs, lb_... instead of links, contribs.
- an email can be sent to someone (the website owner for example) in
case of problem
- it is possible to make the moderator's session last more than just
while the navigator is opened. That means, you can close your browser
and come back on the following day, you'll still be logged in.
- on the main page, some 2nd level topics are previewed (like on Yahoo!)
- spanish language file up to date (thanks to Rodolfo Pilas)
- some small interface enhancements
1.3
Feature enhancements :
- a mail can be sent to every moderators each time a link is submitted
- tree view (really) of the topic tree
- it is now possible to choose the number of columns in which the topics are
split when browsed. Moreover, topics are now listed in alphabetical order,
down each column, and additional informations on topics can now be displayed.
- small interfaces improvements
Bugfixes :
- the database format has changed a bit, LinkBase can now handle up to 32767
topics (instead of 127). To upgrade, run the db_dump/update-1.3.sql script
on your database. The upgrade is transparent and won't require you to check
your links afterwards.
1.2
- A mail can optionnaly be sent each time a link is submitted to notice the
moderator about it.
- We now have a 'Powered by...' image (Sven-Erik Andersen)
- Updated the norwegian version (Sven-Erik Andersen)
- Updated the german version (HJ Beckers)
- Added links to check every box at once in the moderation panel (Sven-Erik
Andersen)
- Added support for sub-topics. That allows LinkBase to work like a
link directory (like Yahoo! or dmoz.org)
- Some minor bugfixes
1.1r2
- Wrote a patch that disables LinkBase's moderation features (see in the nomod/
directory)
- We now have a 'LinkBase Powered' button (thanks to Sven-Erik Andersen)
1.1
- LinkBase now supports spanish (thanks to Jonatan G. Arango)
- Added some default links to fill in the empty original base
- Fixed a bug about the edito.html, LinkBase didn't behave as expected. Now, if
a file named edito.html is found in the root directory, its content will be
displayed in the Edito Box on the front page.
If not, the edito.html file located in the inc/xx/ (where 'xx' is the
ISO-country of the language that you choosed in the config file) will be
displayed.
1.00
- LinkBase now supports german (thanks to HJ Beckers)
- the edito.html localisation has changed. This file has been moved from the
root directory to inc/xx/edito.html where 'xx' is the ISO-country-code of the
language that you choosed in the config file.
But the old localisation (in the root dir) still works. In fact, the
inc/xx/edito.html file will only be used if there isn't any edito.html in the
root dir.
1.00-RC4
- Interface bugfixes
1.00-RC3
- LinkBase now supports norwegian (thanks to Sven-Erik Andersen)
- the language directory structure has changed a bit.
Every language-specific files (excepted the vocabulary files -- xx.inc.php3)
are now stored in separated subdirectories of inc/
