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

changes since 5.x-2.0 BETA-1:
* added views integration for cclinks (list scheduled dates!)
* fixes state machine views integration (filter names display and fixed the broken state machine filter)
* #227470: patch by nodestroy: enhanced the workflow-ng per entity logging module to allow deleting of log entries
* #226046: fixed bug "action/condition settings form is missing" by removing the localisation of module names
* #229025: made it possible for actions to let newly added arguments to be saved by workflow-ng. Implemented this for the "add content" action, which allows one to alter the node by further actions like "Publish content" before saving
* #179653 patch by amitaibu: exposed $teaser and $page when content is viewed and added a condition to check boolean entities, so one can check how content is to be viewed
* added a new action: Set breadcrumb
* #221033 fixed State Machine Admin, edit/delete don't working

Changes since 1.x-dev:
* 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!

Upgrade:
Just update the module files and run update.php.

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

* 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

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.

this is a bugfix release.

changes since 5.x-1.5:
backported from 2.x: fixed the import to never take over the ids of an export
#206484: updates the workflow-ng id counter to ensure that imported configurations aren't overwritten by new ones. run update.php
fixed the "currently acting user" argument for the user module events

development snapshot

Currently some new features get added to 2.x.

bug fixes:
* #202028: clear workflow-ng's cache when a module is deactivated
* #201754 make sure that the machine state change event is generated for manual invocations of states_set_machine_state() also - Previously this has affected the cclinks module.

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
* added another path module action, which allows setting the path of content
* path action: made it possible to specify custom path replacements
* UI: fixed editing the configuration properties, which previously had saved the applied defaults. Now the configuration keeps clean!
* #196688: patch by jsenich and me: add content tokens for status, promoted and sticky flags
* #196445: On redirect after node creation, node_access entries don't form -> added a new option to the path redirect action, that allows overriding the destination parameter
* introduced a new option #redirect for events, that allows them to specify if usually a redirect is invoked after the event. This allows the redirect action to provide sensible defaults. read more
* #179917 or GHOP #73, patch by corsix: added "Execute arbitrary PHP code" action and condition
* #201572: fixed incompatibility with the spam module

For developers:
Check out the improvements of workflow-ng's token API, which makes adding token support to your actions/conditions even easier. http://drupal.org/node/156754
If you provide events, read about the new #redirect property and the related redirect issue

1.1 introduced a new bug, which may cause the execution of actions even if the conditions weren't matched. Because of this, there is this early 1.3 release, which fixes the bug.

Note that there is no 1.2 release because of troubles creating it: http://drupal.org/node/192422
So 1.3 follows 1.1.

changes since 5.x-1.1:
* inspired by the views module, I've reorganized the included workflow-ng integration for the core modules and token.
* #183027: removed % placeholders from the debugging messages, so that configurations invoked on "User is going to view a page" doesn't interfere with the block admin page
* enhanced the redirect action to support query and fragment url parameters
* #178759: fixed a problem with sorting of actions with weight 0 (important!!)
* #190218 patch by rszrama: configuration overview UI enhancements
* #190226 patch by rszrama: Adjust the active checkbox text for the add/edit form

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

the first stable release!

changes since the latest beta 8:
* added an action to cclinks, that allows to set the scheduling date through an token enabled action
* UI bugfix: don't show the empty fieldset for the condition root (AND)

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

This is a quick bug-fix release!

changes since beta 6:
* fixed cclinks to properly work with deactive revisions
* added a link to the cclinks tutorial

changes between beta5 and beta6:
http://drupal.org/node/175313

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
package: http://drupal.org/node/57285

#156428 patch by jeevesbond: added a condition for checking user roles and actions to add/remove user roles
#164522: removed the possiblity to let workflow-ng handle saving user objects, as it isn't possible to do it clean,
user role actions: made selecting at lest one role required, clean the checkboxes value
#164522: removed the possiblity to let workflow-ng handle saving user objects, as it isn't possible to do it clean,
user role actions: made selecting at lest one role required, clean the checkboxes value

for developers:
ad #164522 removed the possiblity to let workflow-ng handle saving user objects, as it isn't possible to do it clean:
So if you modify a user object in an action, you need to save the changes yourself now!

changes since 5.x-1.0 beta3:

#162807: patch by jeevesbond: fixed saving modified user objects
#162732: patch by jeevesbond: Add actions to Publish and Promote to front page
#161738: fixed the redirect action to only append the destination parameter if it's not empty
#161517: Allow comparing text with URL arguments by adding token integration for the url path
#163673: added also the aliased url as global token and improved the description of the path token
#163716 added missing event invocation for "User is going to view a page"
bugfix: #arguments property is not required, fixed by applying the element info defaults correctly
mail to user action: added the possibility to specify a from address,
added mail to arbitrary address action
#164170: changed the events restricted to authenticated users to work for all users and added a note for the possible page cache issues. Introdruced the property #description for event_info, which is shown on the configuration page.

changes since beta2:

* path redirect action: changed the path field to be required
* action: added an option to display drupal messages as error messages
* updated the states module conditions and actions to follow the API change (function paramter ordering)
* made it possible for modules to define new entity types, for which workflow-ng handles saving intelligently
* added a token replacements enabled action for logging to the watchdog
* #156867: patch by JacobSingh: allow for Regex Comparison on Token condition
* API change: changed the parameters of actions for compatibility with drupal 6

For developers
more about the API change:
Unfortunately the ordering of function parameters for conditions and actions has been changed. This was necessary to make action configuration compatible with drupal 6 actions.

Now $settings is passed to the action/condition implementation every time after the specified arguments.
E.g. the action example_action($settings, $node) has to be now: example_action($node, $settings).

changes since 5.x 1.0 beta1:
* removed a unused function, added a link to the developer docs to the README
* #156487: on the configuration overview page also show on which event the configuration is executed
* fixed deinstallation procedure
