Outstanding issues

This alpha release has the following outstanding issues:

• #1273080: [Rollback] Move registration of shutdown function from hook_init() into hook_boot()
• #1272242: Adding category "with children" checked fails
• #1243248: jQuery to disable terms not attached to checkboxes and radio buttons
• #1243244: "Field is required" when submitting a multiple-value select with only disallowed terms
• #1199568: Update node access for affected nodes on taxonomy field modification

Release notes

The 6.x-1.3 release of Taxonomy Access Control fixes a major bug where editing nodes under certain conditions would corrupt node access records, possibly leading to restricted nodes being accessible. (See #902858: Node records sometimes corrupted after removing all terms from the node and #902858: Node records sometimes corrupted after removing all terms from the node). Various other minor bug fixes and features are also included.

Note: the tac_fields submodule should be considered experimental; do not use this submodule on a production site without thorough testing.

Release notes

This release includes numerous bug fixes, performance improvements, and documentation improvements, as well as one new feature to make administering taxonomy hierarchies easier.

Release notes

Inital 6.x release.

Release notes

This branch introduces some important SQL optimizations, which drastically reduce the number of database records required for sites with a large number of terms and roles. The admin interface has been updated to allow you to keep your access rules lean and mean.

The changes should ease administration, make some queries faster, and have certainly made the code simpler. The important stuff seems to be working, but please test your rules carefully and report any anomalies (include a simple example of an access scheme which doesn't behave as expected so that we can replicate).

Updating

There is an upgrade path from the old version, just make sure that you carefully examine the rules for each role and remove all the extra rules after upgrading.

Docs

The documentation hasn't been updated yet (I think a handbook page with lots of examples would be enormously helpful). The basic change is the addition of a global default rule and then a per-vocabulary default for each role which give the permissions for any term which don't have its own rule. More to come (please file issues with questions etc).

Future

The admin UI will likely continue to be improved in this branch.
