There is no general MySource Matrix developer news this week.
New Features
TRIM Saved Search Enhancements
Added to: 3.27.0 development, 3.26.2 stable
[ Feature Request #4180 ]
TRIM record classification restriction
Searches can now be restricted by TRIM Classification may be specified to restrict search results to an exact classification (eg; Projects) or a classification and its sub-classifications (eg; including Projects - MySource Matrix).
Data Source elements are provided for to expose TRIM Classification elements and each classification portion (eg; Projects, MySource Matrix, Projects - MySource Matrix), for listing and grouping purposes.
Option to convert UTC timestamps to local time of the Matrix system
TRIM Date values stored in UTC (GMT) format can be converted to the timezone of the Matrix system upon returning the record set. This is provided as an option from the TRIM Saved Search asset.
Record Type keyword to be displayed as name rather than ID
The Record Type value returned in record sets previously returned a number representing that type. The Record Type is now converted to a textual representation from TRIM, providing text such as "DOCUMENT" instead of the numeric format.
WYSIWYG mode switching enhancement for IE7
Added to: 3.27.0 development, 3.26.2 stable, 3.24.6 stable
[ Feature Request #4182 ]
Toggling between the content and "View Source" mode in a WYSIWYG DIV with a large amount of content was causing a noticable lag in IE7.
The code associated with mapping characters to HTML entities has now been optimised to greatly reduce this delay.
Planned Development
No new generic features are currently scheduled for development.

3.24.6 Stable, 3.26.2 Stable, 3.27.0 Development

TRIM SAVED SEARCH ENHANCEMENTS
The Record Type field is now returned from TRIM as text rather than a number. Any implementations performing comparisons or mappings based on the numeric value may need to be reassessed.
