New Matrix Releases
MySource Matrix 3.24.4 and the first release on the 3.26 branch, version 3.26.0 - are now available for download from the MySource Matrix web site.
Next releases due second Monday in Feburary
MySource Matrix 3.24.5 and 3.26.1 will be released on February 8th due to the postponement of our 3.26.0 release. This has been done to ensure sufficient time to test code between today's release and the next one.
New Features
WYSIWYG Snippets Performance Enhancement
Added to: 3.27.0 development
[ Feature Request #4127 ]
Queries related to permission checking when loading Snippet keywords can now be disabled when rended in the drop-down list of keywords shown when printing the WYSIWYG container. This can provide a noticable performance enhancement.
The option to configure permission checking is available under Global Preferences for the Snippet Content Type. Permissions are checked under normal operation to ensure that the user has Read Permission to the associated containers before including Snippet keywords.
JS API Multiple Set Metadata function
Added to: 3.27.0 development, 3.26.1 stable
[ Feature Request #4128 ]
A new function "setMetadataAllFields()" is now available in the JS API. This function takes a single array of field ids and their corresponding values to enable updating multiple fields for an asset in one request.
This provides performance gains over using multiple "setMetadata()" requests. Locks are acquired once and the Metadata Content is generated once for the asset instead of once per field.
This function will return TRUE on success and FALSE on failure (eg; when failing to fill in a required field).
Planned Development
No new generic features are currently scheduled for development.
