Releases for Pathauto

This is the 6.x compatible release based upon the 5.x-2.x branch.

Before upgrading be sure to read the 5.x to 6.x upgrade guide.

This release still has bugs, but many of them are actually in token, so...

The reason to create a release is so that users can have a stable version to use and to report bugs against.

This is largely a bugfix release. The faster bulk generates might be seen as a feature, but either way - they are definitely good.

Changes since DRUPAL-5--2-1:

• bug #243538 by stennie: cast the concatenated join value to be able to use the url_alias index (faster bulk generates)
• bug #219726 by psynaptic: 'update path aliases' node operation breaks publish operation
• doc bug #227147 found by iantresman patch by greggles: php compatibility in README no longer applicable
• small notice in pathauto_taxonomy.inc
• bug #228775 by greggles: Deleting nodes with feed aliases doesn't delete the feed alias

• bug #212327 by aufumy: faster bulk generates - followup

This is primarily a stability fix on the 5.x-2.0 release of Pathauto though it does include some new "features" they were considered to be quite important in order to be added.

This is primarily a security release in response to the token_values potential Cross Site Scripting issue. Pathauto on its own is not affected, but token values provided by Pathauto were not properly checked and may have caused a problem if used by another module (no known examples exist).

Please read that announcement page.

Changes since DRUPAL-5--2-0-BETA1:

• code cleanup via coder module - thanks Doug Green\!

• removing extra print statement
• #134473 by greggles with help from chx and kkaeffer, CTYPE required but not available

This latest version of Pathauto has several new features, but the biggest one is the use of tokens for pattern replacement which should provide greater reliability in the pattern replacement.

Compatability notes

You will now need to use the token module version 5.x-1.8.
Also, Pathauto has improved support for other languages in this release which requires the use of PHP4.4 or higher, or the use of PHP5.1 or higher.

And several others...

New release for changed features and additional bugfixes. May cause problems, but also may fix some. I hope for this to be generally usable and appreciate testers and people who can provide feedback in the issue queue.

The 1.x branch of Pathauto is the feature complete upgrade of the 4.7 to Drupal5.x

The major point of this 2.x branch of Pathauto is to get rid of old cruft and start implementing the token.module to provide the patterns.

A slight update to the 5.x-1.0 version of this module.

Has slightly better support for different kinds of taxonomy terms.

This will likely be the last version on this branch and the next version - based on the token module - will be developed on a new branch.

Drupal 5 Compatible 1.0 release of pathauto. This release has a few known bugs (see the pathauto issue queue for details) but is generally at least as stable and functional as the 4.7 version of Pathauto.

I do believe that a 1.1 release will be necessary in the next few weeks so users are encouraged to upgrade to this release, provide feedback in the issue queue for any problems that you may find, and look out for a 1.1 release.

If you wish to discuss paths and Pathauto in general you can also read up on the Paths group on Groups.Drupal.org

Pathauto has changed somewhat since the Drupal4.7 - partcularly in terms of the transliteration. Please read the INSTALL.txt for details.

CVS HEAD version which is used while the next version of Drupal is still not released to provide the version compatible with the next release of Drupal.

As of January 2008 it is compatible with Drupal6.

If you are upgrading from 5.x to 6.x be sure to read the Pathauto 5.x to 6.x upgrade guide.
