Releases for Views Bulk Operations (VBO)

Release notes

Another round of polish. Can't be called RC1 because #1057158: Provide an action for modifying entity values is not done yet.
Features a brand new & very flexible "Create archive of selected files" (works with imagefields and filefields as well, if you add a Files relationship), an improved "Pass selected ids to URL" action, many fixes to the rules code for loading entities from a VBO view.

After the previous beta was released, Rules changed the way it handles component access, making its components accessible to administrators only.
Temporarily disabled access checking, so the components should be available to all roles that are using the VBO view.
The relevant issue in the Rules queue is #1217128: limiting Rules components to specific permissions.

• #1306108: Add the destination URL to configuration ('pass ids' action).
• Remove the old, buggy and half-baked selection preservation.
• #1307018: The rules action for loading a list of entities from a VBO view should not remove the pager.
• #1293174: Loading entity lists in Rules gives warnings when using data selection for arguments.
• #1293454 by anon: Send $form_state as a reference like core does.

Release notes

Changes since 6.x-1.11-beta1:

• Security fix for DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-042
• Use db_placeholders() where appropriate.
• #1258666: Include all actions at each page load.
• #1247372: Context does not default to type as stated in hook_views_bulk_operations_object_info().
• #845618: Document max_allowed_packet 'Access denied' issue
• Prevent different view states (exposed filters/arguments) from interfering with selection
• #435074: Fix AJAX selection calls for non-clean URLs

Changes between beta1 and 6.x-1.10 include:

• Simpler 'Select All' UI
• Better VBO settings UI
• Less memory-hungry multi-page selection mechanism.

VBO is now in maintenance mode, unless people step up to provide patches and / or co-maintain.

Release notes

It's been almost a month since the 7.x-3.0-alpha3 release, and a lot of work has happened since then.

1) Fixed several alpha3 regressions. Alpha3 accidentally removed support for advanced actions (actions added through the Actions UI). Now back (in actions_permissions as well). Also, global actions ('type' => 'system') weren't showing up, that's also fixed.
2) Refactored operation types, now implemented as ctools plugins. Operations are now objects, and contain all relevant logic. This allowed the main VBO code to be simplified a lot, leading to more maintainable code.
3) Reworked the Batch API code, resulting in much improved performance.
4) Reworked the admin UI (VBO field settings):
- Now possible to override the label of each operation (ported from 6.x-1.x)
- Automatically chooses the correct execution type based on the number of selected items (see README for more information)
- The drupal queue setting is now per operation, allowing only specific operations to be enqueued, which is more flexible and reflects better the intended use case.
5) Improved the rules integration:
- The config form now has access to all tokens for the current entity type (so you can use [node:author], or whatever you need)
- Now supports rules components that accept a list entity type (such as list<entity>, list<node>, etc) as the first parameter. Note that this turns on aggregation.
- Provided an action to allow Rules to load all entities in a VBO view (as a replacement for the "Execute VBO' action), as well as a condition that checks the number of results in a VBO view.
6) Many smaller improvements, including better default views, more documentation in the README, and bugs & notices fixed.

Release notes

Changes:
1) Now requires Entity API.
2) Now supports entity revisions. For example, add a "Content revision: Bulk operations" field, and do operations on specific node revisions.
3) Removed support for hook_node_operations() / hook_user_operations(). See http://drupal.org/node/1182448#comment-4575310
4) Added an option to force a single row to be selected, showing radio buttons instead of checkboxes.
5) Made core actions integration actually work (added back support for the "behavior" key, fixed permission issues, etc)
6) Fixed numerous paper cuts reported by users, including notices and strict errors.

All commits:

- Use instanceof instead of is_a, which is deprecated for PHP < 5.3
- #469672: 4 orphaned actions left when not using this module.
- Depend on Entity API, and simplify some code in the process.
- Issue #724686: restrict the number of selected items by dafeder, bojanz - Add a 'force single' option, making VBO show radios instead of checkboxes
- #1078858: Allow other modules to act on finished VBO process
- Core actions integration: Add back support for the 'behavior' key, save explicitly all entities that need to be saved (as specified through behavior).
- Remove redundant code from actions_permissions (since actions_list() in D7 returns the custom actions as well).
- #1190190: Undefined index: base table в views_bulk_operations_views_data_alter()
- #1183882: Notice: Undefined variable: plugin in views_bulk_operations_execute()
- Make VBO support Rules components that accept an entity of any type as the first param.

Release notes

A rewrite that came from the "reloaded" branch.
Sponsored by Commerce Guys.

No backwards compatibility of any kind (not even to previous 7.x-3.x-dev).
Requires Views 7.x-3.x-dev from may 29th or later.

1) Works with any style plugin (tables, grids, unformatted, whatever...). Including "select all".
2) Works with any entity type (uses entities directly, the VBO "object" abstraction is dead)
3) Support for Rules 2 actions.
4) Support for the Drupal Queue.

The main beta blocker is #1057158: Provide an action for modifying entity values
Things are still in flux and there might be more breaking changes before beta.

Release notes

Fix security vulnerability in user admin VBO, allowing anonymous to manage users.

This is only an issue for users of the previous betas. The official release 6.x-1.9 is not affected.

Release notes

Working towards new release. We will update this post with the target issues to be fixed for 6.x-1.10.
