This is a release candidate for 5.x-1.2. The official 5.x-1.2 will be released in a week or so, if no major issues show up before that. If you don't want to go for a release candidate, download 5.x-1.1 and apply patch from issue #251651: radioactivity_add_energy called with wrong arguments on node view when click_duration != 0.

The notable fixes in this release: (compared to 5.x-1.1)

The notable new features in this release: (compared to 5.x-1.1)

  • A new modular design for radioactivity sources and targets
  • Support for node comments and arbitrary objects, in addition to node targets
  • Support for VotingAPI as an energy source for node and comment radioactivity
  • Support for arbitrary sources. This is for integration purposes
  • Configurable HTTP interface, exposing radioactivity_add_energy, radioactivity_get_energy and radioactivity_delete_energy
  • Support for settings per node type
  • Support for different join types in views

As always, see the the CVS messages (http://drupal.org/project/cvs/240484) and the issues for detailed changes.

Notes for 5.x-1.1 → 5.x-1.2 migration:

  • Views support has changed. The update procedure should be able to upgrade your views containing radioactivity fields, filters and sorts. This has been tested only with Views 5.x-1.6, but might work on other versions too. As always, test the migration in a test environment before going live. If the procedure fails, you need to delete blank fields, filters, and sort and then re-add them.
  • The radioactivity decay profile system has also been changed. The update procedure should be able to update your 5.x-1.1 profiles to 5.x-1.2 without problems. However, if you applied patch from #247212: Content type -specific settings for received energies, then the updater will not upgrade the profiles properly.

Thanks for Uusi Suomi (running http://www.uusisuomi.fi/ ) for funding most of the development of this release. Special thanks to Guardian for sorting out some issues.
