Releases for ACL

Release notes

This is RC1 of ACL for Drupal 7.

The prior BETA3 has been running without any error reports for close to 6 weeks with over 1300 known installations at the time of this release. There are no functional changes going to RC1 (except a temporary copy/paste error).

Please give it a last round of testing before we release 1.0. See #690618-12: ACL for D7 for details.

Changes since BETA3:
Bug fixes:
- Remove version number and file list from .info file now that it's not needed anymore.
- Fix typo introduced in prior commit.
- #1228214: Fully qualify field parameter in SelectQuery::condition() calls.

Note: The devel_node_access (DNA) module, which is part of the Devel module, provides an in-depth view into the inner workings of node access, especially if you enable its debug mode at admin/config/development/devel#edit-devel-node-access-debug-mode and its second block. This is a big help for understanding the forces that control access to any given node.

Release notes

This is BETA2 of ACL for Drupal 7.

There have been no bug reports since BETA1; BETA2 provides some API enhancements. We do not recommend installing it on a production site yet, but we encourage you to test it and provide feedback (both good and bad!) in the issues queue. See #690618: ACL for D7 for details.

This is a big help for understanding the forces that control access to any given node.

Warning: There is a bug in this version of ACL that causes ACL to fail when used with the FlexiAccess module. Use the development snapshot instead until BETA3 becomes available. See #1024114: Fatal error in function acl_get_id_by_name for details.

Release notes

This is RC1 of ACL for Drupal 6.

We have received very little feedback on ACL, but given the usage statistics it seems to be working fine. Still, we encourage you to test it thoroughly and provide feedback (both good and bad!) in the issues queue. See #322279-7: ACL for D6 Released for details.

Changes since BETA4:
Enhancements:
- #369918: Add German translation.
Bugs fixed:
- #371446: Use priority for the 'deny' grant, too.

This is the first version with working grant priorities, and by factoring out form code, it has become much lighter. This version is required for the new Forum Access and Image Gallery Access versions!
