menu_views 7.x-2.0-rc2

This is the second release candidate and it is mostly stable for production use. This release fixed issues with the upgrade from 7.x-1x to 7.x-2.x: #1817622: Upgrading from 1 to 2 destroyed existing menu items. It also fixed issues with being able to select the proper parent item.

NOTE: This release is in fact stable from a fresh install. It can however contain a few minor bugs that will only be discovered with actual production use if you are upgrading from 7.x-1.x to 7.x-2.x, please back-up your site before upgrading (just in case).

This has been a major overhaul of the 1.x branch. The largest change and reason for version bump is that Menu Views now intercepts the theme_menu_link() instead of theme_link(). This is a major improvement in performance and also helps with contrib modules like: Menu Block, Nice Menus and Superfish (see: #1404802-10: Not working with Superfish.) . Overall code has been consolidated into fewer files.

The UI has also undergone a radical improvement to help simplify the creation of a menu item view. Instead of attaching a view to a menu link item, there is now a toggle at the top of every menu item that allows you to switch between a "link" and "view" menu item type. I think this helps clarify whether the menu item is a link or a view, avoiding the confusion on whether it will show or not.

menu_views_update_7200

Upgrades existing menu items that have attached views. This is a major update for the 7.x-2.x branch.
