Changes Details

• New Authenticate extension: Allow website visitors to connect using various OAuth providers like Google, Facebook, Twitter and Github. Easy to use in your own extensions / templates. For a working example, check out our Snippets website, which is almost finished
• Bolt is now more consistent when it comes to trailing slashes in URLs. Bolt will generate URLs like /pages/ and /page/about , but it will accept both with or without trailing slash.
  
• The plural and singular of a contenttype can now be the same. For example, you can now use ‘news’ for the contenttype, and ‘news/lorum-ipsum’ for a single record.
• You can now use taxonomies in your routing. For example /movies/stardust and/books/the-hobbit , based on the categories of the contenttype.
• Fixed an issue with ‘default_status’, where it wouldn’t pick up an override from contenttypes.yml
• The backend is better at keeping its position when using “save & return to overview”. You’ll get returned to the dashboard, or the correct overview page, keeping the current position or filtering.
• Added the functionality for extensions to dynamically add their own tables to the database, and keep them updated between versions. Just like the tables in Bolt itself.
• Added a new WaffleOrders extension. Mainly interesting for those of you who are interested in writing extensions, because it’s a good example of how to create your own tables and database-handling in an extension.
• Several minor security-related issues were fixed:
  • Implemented CSRF for contentedit
  • Use POST for user actions, with a CSRF token
  • Regenerate session ID when logging in / out
  • Some extra sanitising for filenames of uploaded files.
• Themes can now have their own config files.
  
• Be slightly more lenient on ’empty passwords’: Allow empty password for ‘users’, but not for ‘root’.
• Display a notice, if a content type uses a non-existing field-type.
• The collapsed version of the debug toolbar now properly shows a Bolt nut.
• Added the option for Bolt to directly render static pages.
• Several fixes to the stability of Swiftmailer and Simpleforms.
• Symfony updated to version 2.4.2
• Added an extra check for DB-connectivity. If not, display a friendlier message. Also, don’t disclose the DB-username.
• Removed the default Robots.txt.
• Added support for ‘named’ forms, fixed empty not required file uploads. Prevents issues when having more than one Simpleform on a single page.
• Some modifications/fixes for composer installation.
• Updated several translations, like Dutch and Hungarian.
• Compatibility fix for Apache 2.4 in .htaccess.
• Added option to disable Silex’ built-in native filebased session handler.
• Fix for adding “date” and “datetime” fields in SQLite. Added “notnull => false” to date and date time fields.
• The “order()”-filter now accepts two parameters, for more fine-grained ordering.
• Allow ‘format’ option in relationships, to tweak the output of each line in the select menu.
• Added ‘twig’-filter to parse snippets of twig, straight from twig! Twigception!
• Made the filetypes that are allowed to be uploaded configurable in config.yml. Added an extra check for uploads in the backend as well.
• Bolt now doesn’t throw an error when you’ve cleared contenttypes.yml
• When re-doing the initial setup, bolt no longer throws an error when the database is suddenly missing.
• Tweaked the header bar. Less grungy patterns.
• And a whole bunch of other smaller tweaks and fixes.

Bolt 1.4.4 this release fixes a few minor bugs and quirks, but no security-fixes.

Changes Details

• Added: Thumbnails are no longer enlarged by default. If you’re trying to create a thumbnail that’s larger than the original. You can override this by setting allow_upscale: true in the section for thumbnails in your config.yml .
• Fixed: When editing a record with relations, the previously selected related items weren’t shown properly.
• Fixed: a bug in the paths in the ImportWXR extension.
• Added: Bolt now sends “Cache-Control”-headers for (reverse) proxies and caches. Update: actually works now!
• Fixed: Application::initLocale() requires locale files on intl_get_error_code()not existing. Fixed by adding ‘ symfony/locale'  to our composer.json

The post Bolt Update 1.4.4 Released appeared first on Orange Internet Solutions.

 Bolt 1.2: A recommended update for all Bolt users, with new features, improvements and bugfixes galore. This release contains no security-related fixes.

Changes Details

Major improvements and changes in this release, since Bolt 1.1.4:

• Bolt now supports custom routing. This means you’ll have much more freedom in what the URLs of your Bolt site look like. Before version 1.2, all links to content looked like/{contenttype}/{slug}. With Bolt 1.2, you can have pages that have links like/about-us or /contact, or you can have your weblog at/blog/2013-09-13/lorem-ipsum.
• There’s a new search functionality. You can search through one, multiple or all contenttypes at once. The results themselves are weighted, so better results float to the top (basically, title-like fields and fields that are used for slugs are assumed to be most relevant for the results. You can also add a ‘searchable: false‘ to any contenttype, to exclude that specific contenttype from search altogether.
• You can now have required fields in your contenttypes, and they can also have (frontend) validation. Using this, you can make sure fields are filled out by the editors and that they have a specific format or maximum length.
• The configuration that is stored in the .yml files in app/config/ is now accessible as a proper object throughout the entirity of the code, including extensions. This used to be a giant multi-dimensional array, which became very clunky. An additional benefit if this is that it’s quite a bit faster: The config files are read, parsed and cached. Bolt automatically detects changes in the files, to reload them only if needed. The automatic check for required changes in the database are only done when needed.
• Speaking about the configuration files: You can now move the entire app/config/ folder outside of your webroot. There are already several ways we prevent access to these files, but this is an extra level of protection for these files that might contain sensitive information.
• We’ve added a Redirector extension. Using this extension, you can forward (old) links to the correct content in your Bolt site with a proper 301-redirect. It supports wildcards and input restrictions for quick and simple forwarding. This extension was developed by Mike Anthony at Foundry Code.
• You can now manually edit the slugs, if you don’t like the slug that’s automatically generated by Bolt.
• Added support for the PHP 5.4 builtin web server.
• You can now have multiple imagelists in a single contenttype. The imagelists themselves can also hold a lot more images now.
• We’ve added a Google Plus One extension, courtesy of Till Klocke.
• We’ve made a few improvements for performance. Especially pages on the frontend of your websites render a lot faster now. In content-heavy sites the difference can be as much as 500%, but in most cases the speedup is 200 to 300 percent.
• Many improvements were made to the SimpleForms extension. We’re debating a name change, because by now it can handle a lot of different forms.
• Updated doctrine to version 2.4.0 final.
• Updated Underscore.js to 1.5.2.
• Updated Moment.js to version 2.2.1
• All Symfony components are updated to 2.3.3.
• Updated jQuery to version 1.10.2.
• Bugfix: Fixed some issues with Pagers.
• Bugfix: Don’t remove relations, when editing the ‘receiving’ end.
• Bugfix: Fix path settings for windows servers.
• Don’t prefill dates if they’re not set.
• Fix: record.previous() and record.next() are working again.
• Fix: Make sure we don’t store empty slugs. Also better checking to prevent duplicate slugs.
• Added functionality for extensions to add items to the menu in the Dashboard under ‘settings’.
• Fix issue where checkboxes with ‘default: 1‘ are not stored when unchecked.
• Change: Changed the login screen, to be more user-friendly.
• Change: Refactored {% setcontent %}. The behaviour in templates is the same, but the code is better structured.
