Releases for Workflow-ng

changes since 5.x-2.0:

Workflow-ng itself:
* fixed usage of t(), to help the workflow-ng localization
* fixed showing configuration form elements of the path module workflow-ng integration
* #241422: prevent SQL syntax error when mailing to no roles
* added action to make nodes sticky / unsticky
* improved the node loading action to be error resistent when used with raw tokens
* added the possibility to load a user by id
* #246229 patch by mrtoner: fixed misspelling: 'whos' vs. 'whose'
* #248997: patch by Amitaibu and me: Loading arguments help
* #248102 patch by Amitaibu: CCL Active should be not required.
* path module integration: The action "Create or delete a content's URL alias" only works with sufficient permissions. Added a note so that users are aware of that.
* #248066: fixed the replacement of the content title in the example

Per-entity logs:
* #233636: fixed workflow-ng log delete entry menu path conflicting with the workflow module
* added a note for the default views of the per entity logging module
* added a views display handler, that allows displaying unfiltered messages, so that one can use html

Custom Content Links:
* #216494 fixed adding a new cclink to never overwrite an existing one
* #248104: fixed CCL Weight is not being respected

first and hopefully the only 2.0 beta release. New features since 1.x:

* rearranged the menu items in a "workflow-ng section"
* now the term "rule" is used instead of "configuration"
* allow cloning of configurations
* allow ordering of configurations
* allow actions to load further entities
* on top of that, there is now support for loading referenced users and nodes from CCK fields
* allow modules to conditional include their action/condition configuration forms
* a brand new admin interface for the states module, which finally allows one to define custom state machines without coding. This machines may be e.g. used to track the state of content. Thanks GHOP and corsix for that!
* a totally new entity logging module - log messages for content or users per actions and display them with views. Again, thanks go to GHOP and corsix!

Compatibility:
Don't worry 2.x is 100% compatible with the workflow-ng 1.x API. However you'll need 2.x if you want to use the new features! Once, 2.0 is released, 1.x won't be longer supported.

development snapshot

Currently some new features get added to 2.x.

Update: Be sure do run update.php after updating workflow-ng to 1.4!

changes since 5.x-1.3:

cclinks:
* cclinks: fixed to correctly use the link label setting as link label
* bug fixes for states and cclinks: fixed cclinks action configuration
* ccllinks: fixed the timezone handling, fixed link toggling to be more confident
* made cclinks cron routine more error resistent
* cclinks: #197420 fixed the generated classes of the links

states:
* fixed the event label of state change events to be clean, improved labels in the action configuration form
* states: fixed init state setting on node creation, if the set state is NULL
* fixed states to allow setting the state of nodes back to NULL through node_save()
* states: added an action, which allows setting a new machine state

workflow-ng:
* added two new token API functions, which makes adding token support even easier
* added path module integration, which allows automatic URL alias creation and deletion
* updated the token conditions and actions to make use of the new workflow_ng-token API enhancement, added update routine for existing configurations, assigned these token enabled conditions and actions to the system module
* improved the path alias creation action to filter non ascii characters

This is an bug-fix release :)

changes since 1.0:
#183699: improved the content publish / promote actions to only cause content saving when they are actually changing something
#183699: removed the last fix for automatical saved arguments and implemented a better one.
#183699: fixed problems with automatical saved arguments, which occured with php4 or non objects. now arguments may be also passed through an associative array, which one can use for passing references
#176629: fixed problems with php4 & array_intersect_key
#178759: fixed problems sorting of actions by weight, if weight is 0. also fixed saving the argument map for newly added actions and conditions
added missing properties to the provided example default configuration, so that detecting configurations changes for the reset mechanism works more reliable

changes since beta7:
* fixed UI bug: force rendering of empty condition groups, so that they can be deleted
* added a condition to make checking for content types easier
* UI: filter the list of available actions/conditions to show only compatible ones, when they are added
* UI: added the possibility to filter configurations by module

changes since the beta5:
* due to licensing issues: removed tango icons and replaced them with gpl'ed gnome icons
* fixed editing the logging action ($form_values['type'] was used two times)
* #169218: fixed typo which introduced a call time pass by value error for php4
* separated workflow-ng modules in directories
* added new extension module cclinks - Configurable Content Links

more about cclinks (Configurable Content Links):

This module provides configurable content links, that generate events when they are pressed.
Optionally one can activate scheduling for a link, so that the user can set the date when the
event will be invoked. This may be used for scheduled execution of arbitrary actions, e.g. one
can use it to schedule the publishing of content.
Each link can be configured to toggle between to different link labels. Thanks to the State Machine
API the current link state is exposed to Views too. Access permissions can be controlled independently
for each link.

Note:
To make date selecting more user friendly, install the JS Calendar of the Javascript Tools modules
