views 6.x-2.0-alpha5

New features

• The attachment display type. You can put a view onto another view.
• RSS -- this is now implemented as a display type. Add a Feed display to a view with a page display. Give it the appropriate path -- you need to specify all of the arguments in the URL, generally. SOmething like foo/%/%/feed for example. Be sure to look at the style plugin and row plugin options. This is currently only relevant for the node type.
• All handlers have been implemented that I can think of. This means I've certainly missed a couple, but missing handlers from core functionality that were previously in Views 1 are either 1) no longer relevant or 2) missing and therefore bugs.

Important note
I added options to a few of items that might cause red NOTICE messages to show up regarding unknown variables, especially thinks like 'link'. If you see these on existing views, this is ok; you have to find the handler or plugin that has the new option, and click 'update' and it will set the option and the notice will go away.

If you see these on views you add *after* you install this, then that's probably a bug.

This is a rough list of features NOT YET IMPLEMENTED and thus TODO:

• PHP Arg code
• Filter groups
• Validation, lots of validation

Here's the full changelog

Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-ALPHA4:

• #240102: (Largely by neclimdul) -- Initial pass at profile field handlers. Still 3 @todo items remain but they are not hard.
• First steps to get Views D6 translated (63% done).
• #240478: some string cleanup
• #240481: (By hass) make .js strings translateable
• Add an "empty text" option to the prerender_list handler (which affects user roles and profile freeform list)
• #115949: (nedjo followup) -- remove unused function in .js
• #240510: (by neclimdul) Add "title" attribute to AJAX links. Also some misc cleanup.
• #240524: Use pager option always said "Mini" (fix by alpritt)
• Initial taxonomy implementation. There's still a ways to go -- I totally punted on depth -- and we need a few more argument handlers.
• check_markup should not check to see if the current user has permission.
• Clean URL fix
• #240634: Due to use of field aliases that are not always valid, multiple pseudo fields weren't showing up. Fixed up the field template to better conform to other templates.
• More field template fixing
• #240314: Picture field did not work at all
• #240850: (By John Morahan) add book.module support

• #241823: (by John Morahan) Implement a random sort
• #241917: (by John Morahan) -- allow two displays on the same view to have the same path, using access control to determine which view the user is given. This allows separate administrative views, for example.

• #241048: (By Keith Smith) expand help on relationships
• #241296: Add a more explanatory title (tooltip) for the style settings button, and a note in the style description to keep an eye out for it.
