• Release announcement for V1.3
• Upgrade process for V1.3

upload.directory and LuceneSetup.indexDir are merged into vitro.home.directory [see JB for further details]

Email parameters in deploy.properties have changed. [see JB for further details]

• Vitro.smtpHost is replaced by email.smtpHost
• Added email.replyTo as the "from" and "reply-to" address that appear in emails sent by the application.

Template changes [see RY for further details]

• ${stylesheets}, ${scripts}, and ${headScripts} add() methods now take the full tag as an argument. This will require a change to all calls to this method in the templates. This change allows for specification of the media and other attributes. Example:

  • 1.2: ${stylesheets.add("/css/individual/individual.css")}
  • 1.3: ${stylesheets.add('<link rel="stylesheet" href="${urls.base}/css/individual/individual.css" />')}
• The addFromTheme() methods of the ${stylesheets}, ${scripts}, and ${headScripts} objects has been deleted.
• propertyGroups.getPropertyAndRemoveFromList() has been deprecated. The replacement method is propertyGroups.pullProperty(). No change in functionality.

List view changes [see RY for further details]

• <query-base> and <query-collated> have been replaced with a single query <query-select> that contains tags for fragments to be used only in the collated version of the query.
• This and other changes are documented in vitro/doc/list_view_configuration_guidelines.txt.

Changes to Authorization [see JB for further details]

• selfEditing.idMatchingProperty will now match String literals as well as untyped literals.
• 'initialAdminUser' property is replaced by 'rootUser.emailAddress' - initial password is 'rootPassword'
