MySource Matrix Developer Newsletter - Issue #98
This week saw the release of version 2.0 of Mozilla's Firefox web browser. Among its many new features and changes is a change in how access keys are activated. Access keys have been traditionally accessed using "ALT+access key", and these form the basis of some of MySource Matrix's keyboard shortcuts such as "ALT+S" for committing screens. On Unix-based and Mac OS X systems, the shortcut was "CTRL+access key". In Firefox 2, there have been changes in the access key shortcuts on Windows and Unix-based systems, and this affects keyboard shortcuts within Matrix that depend on them. On Windows, the new combination is "ALT+SHIFT+access key", so to commit a screen the shortcut would now be "ALT+SHIFT+S". On *nix systems, the shortcut is "CTRL+SHIFT+access key". On OS X the shortcut has not changed.

There is no general MySource Matrix developer news this week. However, it should be noted that there is a lot of information in the upgrading section this issue that system administrators would do well to read.
MySource Matrix Developer Newsletter - Issue #96
Two new stable versions of MySource Matrix were released last Monday, 9th October. Version 3.8.7 saw fixes to 34 known bugs, plus the addition of a new "Orphaned HIPO Jobs" interface, allowing orphaned HIPO jobs to be force-killed, and the Role Assignments screen is now available to LDAP users. Rolling Calendar Pages have also seen improvements, with the ability to specify rolling periods in units of weeks or months, rather than days. Version 3.10.2 contains fixes to 51 known bugs since the 3.10.1 release, plus the new features also added to version 3.8.7. Further, a new "Import Thesaurus Terms" trigger action has been added, and the Send Email action has also been improved. These versions are the best available releases to date, and users of version 3.10.1 and 3.8.6 are encouraged to upgrade to the new versions. The upgrade procedure is the standard minor version upgrade; no additional steps are required. See http://matrix.squiz.net/resources/upgrading for upgrade instructions. The next release will take place on Monday, 6th November, when versions 3.10.3 and 3.8.8 of MySource Matrix are expected to be released.
