Performance Upgrade for PostgreSQL Systems
Some performance improvements have been made to the PostgreSQL database stored procedures that require a small amount of downtime to implement during an upgrade. For this reason, and to allow for sufficient testing, the changes have only been made to the current development version (3.9.0).
MySource 4.0 News
This week, the MySource 4.0 team developed a timeline of the goals to be completed in the initial planning phase. These tasks include documenting the use cases of MySource Classic and MySource Matrix and creating a requirements specification of the Channels system. Once these two tasks are completed we will implement a unit testing and code conformance framework, which will be a major part of the development cycle of 4.0.
New Features
Enable/Disable Begins With Search
Added to: 3.9.0 development
The search manager now has a new option "Enable Begins With Search". This option is enabled by default. If disabled, searches will be faster as the search manager will not look at the whole word when searching. So, searching for "room" will not find "bedroom"; it will only find "room" or "roommate".
Only disable this option if you are having significant performance problems with your search pages.
Pick User For Form Email Options
Added to: 3.9.0 development
When configuring email options in a custom form, you can now select a user from the asset map as well as entering email addresses manually. This allows a user's email address to change within MySource Matrix without having to update custom forms.
Submission Time in Custom Form Emails
Added to: 3.9.0 development
The keyword now has an additional piece of information that it displays. The submission time of the form is included in the output for easy reference. An example form output is shown below:
Site Name : Site
Site Id : 123
Page Custom Form Name : Custom Form
Page Custom Form Id : 1234
Url : http://www.example.com/custom_form
Submission Time : 21 Mar 2006 9:02 am
Disable Cacheable Headers
Added to: 3.8.0 stable, 3.9.0 development
A new configuration option has been added that allows you to disable the sending of cacheable headers for public and LIVE pages. Sending these headers causes the browser to cache the page. This can cause problems if you are customising content for public users (such as listing their last visited pages).
Before Asset Deleted Trigger Event
Added to: 3.9.0 development
A new trigger event has been added that can be used to run trigger actions before an asset is deleted. This event can be used in a similar way to the "before asset created" event.
Type Format in Site Map
Added to: 3.9.0 development
You can now specify display formats for asset types in the site map. Previously, all assets had to look the same (the name of the asset was printed). You can now use asset keywords and HTML to make different asset types look different. For example, you may want to print the name of pages, but the friendly name and size of files.
Planned Development
No new generic features are currently scheduled for development.
