covers versions 3.16.8 stable, 3.18.0 stable, 3.19.0 development
News
Matrix Releases Last Monday
Three new releases of MySource Matrix were released last Monday (7th April): versions 3.18.0, 3.16.7, and 3.14.11. They're available from the MySource Matrix download page at matrix.squiz.net.
New Features
Metadata Value Trigger Condition
Added to: 3.19.0 development, 3.18.1 stable, 3.16.8 stable
This trigger condition is now allowed to be specified multiple times within the same trigger. The condition was also added to 3.18 branch (for release 3.18.1), where it was inadvertently omitted.
Backend Unsaved Changes Warning
Added to: 3.19.0 development, 3.18.1 stable
A warning message will now appear if you try to move away from a page on the Matrix backend while you are editing an asset. This allows users who try to accidentally navigate away from the backend to negate their action and not lose unsaved changes.
Planned Development
No new generic features are currently scheduled for development.

New Bugs Added To Bug Tracker
| Bug ID | 3.16.x | 3.18.x | Dev | Description |
| 2949 | Y | Y | Y | Image remains on page after being cleared from image div |
| 2950 | Y | Y | Y | Search page with option list attribute set as search field displays PHP warning |
| 2951 | Y | Y | Y | Sending html through POST gets strange results |
| 2952 | Y | Y | Y | Set Metadata value trigger problem when metadata field is deleted |

Notes:
Bug #2948 ("Rolling calendar page adds one extra day", reported by nnhubbard on 19th April 2008) has been marked as Can Not Replicate. If the calendar starts at "0 days into the future/past", then it should start from the current day - so if the end date is "1 day into the future", it should show two days. The reporter believed that his system was only showing one day's worth of events. This could not be replicated by developers on the version of his installation.
Bug #2953 ("Triggers dynamic parameters do not recognize XMLHttpRequest POST", reported by nnhubbard on 9th April 2008) has been marked as Not a Bug after the report was put down to a problem at an AJAX level, not a Matrix level.
Bug #2955 ("Users can still edit an asset while it is pending approval", reported by Raena Armitage on 9th April 2008) has been marked as Can Not Replicate after having failed to replicate the issue on 3.16.4 and 3.16.6 systems.
Bug #2957 ("News asset outputting asset ID URL", reported by Sean Woodliffe on 10th April 2008) has been marked as Not a Bug. As the News Item asset uses WYSIWYG attributes rather than bodycopies for Summary and Body, it does not automatically expand internal links using the "./?a=" format. A Paint Layout can be used to expand these internal links, if a separate type format is created and the appropriate attribute used (instead of "asset contents").
