Releases for Content Construction Kit (CCK)

Changes since CCK 6.x-2.4:

Overview:

• As usual, please make backups before upgrading.
• A few CCK core files have been added and/or removed from the package in this release. It is recommended that you delete all of the CCK core files (including subdirectories cck/help, cck/includes, and so on) and then install the new CCK core files extracted from the 2.5 package. There is no need to disable/delete modules within the CCK directory, although they should be the most recent versions.
• Please visit update.php to apply pending updates after installing the new files.
• It also worths to mention that Panels 3 integration has been reviewed and enhanced with display options for fields and field groups.
• IMPORTANT: All sites using Diff module with CCK for Drupal 6 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to CCK 2.5 (see #538872: Diff doesn't respect cck permissions).

Features:

• #428650 Conditional cache/menu rebuild for content CRUD methods.
• #334945 Save default values when field is hidden because of access permissions.
• #503258 by eaton: allow 'extra fields' to provide 'configure' and 'remove' links.
• #505278 Panels 3 and multiple node type fields.

The 3.x dev release is currently an experimental branch for larger scale new features while the 2.x branch is now staying with only stable changes and minor new features.

For further information, please look at: #494100: State of the multigroup module

IMPORTANT:
This release fixes a security issue (XSS vulnerability) in nodereference and userreference modules.
All sites using CCK for Drupal 6 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to CCK 2.2.
Note that the Drupal 5 versions are not affected.
See the Security Annoucement on http://drupal.org/node/406520 for more informations.

Features:
- #361311 Add poll settings forms to Manage fields screen.
- Add book form to Manage fields screen.
- #131953 by markus_petrux - Views integration: expose additional db columns.
- #349987 by Michelle - Panels integration for fieldgroups.

- #405452 - Views integration: Update to Views 2.3 API ('link to node'), with 2.2 compatibility preserved.

Bugfixes:

- #358700 Can't use array_slice() on assoc array in PHP4.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
-------------------

- VIEWS INTEGRATION - Filters available for CCK fields in Views have changed slightly since the RC releases.
If upgrading from a previous CCK RC release, you might get errors or warnings when displaying some views,
or find they don't display the expected results. You'll need to edit those views and redefine their filters.
This only applies to filters defined on Text or Number fields that specify a list of 'Allowed values'.
Filters on other CCK fields are not affected.

- SECURITY FIX - This release fixes (minor) cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
in nodereference.module, userreference.module, content_copy.module, and CCK's Views integration
See the Security Annoucement on http://drupal.org/node/330546 for more information.

-------------------

Main new features since RC10:
- #300368 Add option on Display fields screen to omit fields or groups from the $content value passed to the node template.

Other changes:

- #314986 by moshe weitzman, remove hook_devel_caches(), deprecated in favor of content_flush_caches().

5--1.9
======

Hotfix release for 5.x-1.8.
- Fix array_merge() warning on upgrade (harmless).
- Fix parse error in nodereference.module.

5--1.8
======

The 1.8 release fixes two critical bugs :

- #292872 Data loss issue : fields and field data deleted for content types defined by disabled modules.
IMPORTANT: Since disabling all contrib modules is a recommended step prior to upgrading a D5 site to D6,
it is highly advised that D5 sites using CCK are updated to CCK 5.x-1.8 before starting the D6 upgrade process.

- #271577 Security issue (moderate): unsanitized output for some admin-defined content
('administer content' permission was required to exploit the security hole)
IMPORTANT: If your theme uses field templates, you will need to manually change this line in your theme's template.php :
function phptemplate_field() : [or possibly THEME_NAME_field()]
change:
'label' => t($field['widget']['label']),
to:
'label' => check_plain(t($field['widget']['label'])),
See SA-2008-048 : http://drupal.org/node/304093

Other notable fix :

- Content Copy: Fix multiple bugs when importing/exporting content types :
exporting field definition can alter the actual field's settings
'this post cannot be referenced' error when exporting nodereference fields
no export of default values

This release requires a visit to update.php
