MultiLink D7 version initial release

Yep, totally agree with splitting out the input filter from "core" functionality. In fact I was going to do that before finalising the D6 branch - but I've spent far more time already than I had planned! I am also thinking about adding a "debug" block which shows some information about how ML is deciding which languages and urls to use.

So, D7 is not done completed, but I'll continue working on it next week. I felt it was important to finalise the D6 version first, so that the D7 version can be more or less identical. So, version 2.6 of the D6 branch is out today, and will be the final D6 version (I hope!).

I fixed a few bugs that had never been reported but I found while reviewing the code - #1278958: Cached pages, incorrect links under special circumstances was an important one, though in practice probably didn't affect many people. Also I added redirection for cached pages (anonymous user) to the Redirect module. That took much longer than I had imagined, complex because of the need to use hook_boot and all the problems that involves. But, the result is good I think - the lack of redirection for cached pages meant that on most sites (page caching turned on) the results were inconsistent - you could end up at a different final url depending on whether or not there was a cached version of the page (url) you actually requested. Something like Global Redirect doesn't have this problem as it redirects all users in the same way. ML Redirect needs to take into account their language preference, so maybe allowing Drupal to serve an existing cached page, or maybe redirecting to a different page. So, this is an important enhancement I think, I just hope I can duplicate it in D7!

Not much help to you I know, you just want link generation in D7 :)

The input filter is now done. The dev release shown on the project page isn't showing the latest yet - it should get updated within 24 hours - in the meantime use git to checkout the project. Instructions at http://drupal.org/project/multilink/git-instructions

Fixed both of those. Latest version will hopefully be the release version - any further changes will be minor.

Major update to the documentation now at http://drupal.org/node/907514 - the layout is a bit messy (KompoZer editor.)

Thanks for that - I was finding that editing the documentation page as raw HTML was becoming a pain, so tried a visual editor, but that caused a number of problems. I wish we could have markdown on here - by far my preferred input method. It's available on groups.drupal.org but not here :(

Did you get the D7 MultiLink working now? I am continuing to test and it's working well. There are a few minor changes before release, but it will be on target - tomorrow!

My tests indicate that all is working well. I have done a few tests with a non-default multilink_language_order setting, and that seems to work well too.

I have just a few changes to upload now (a fix for a very minor security issue.) Then I will create the first "official" D7 release.

Now fixed via specific check for running under Drush, new version out shortly.

V2.8 now released.
