9.16.1 General Release Notes

Jun 01

General Release Notes

Version 9.16.1 is a tuned version of 9.16.0 which contains a number of improvements that couldn’t be fitted in the regular fixpack format. Fixpacks are for bug fixes and minor enhancements. This release goes beyond that to form a minor release of it’s own. The major improvements in version 9.16.1 revolves around performance of the editorial GUI.

GUI performance improvements

One of the major features in 9.16.1 is a collection of performance enhancements which will make the Polopoly GUI run a lot quicker for most customers. This has been achieved mainly by consolidating and slimming down static resources in the GUI and minimizing the number of reloads of such resources.

Examples include:

  • All GUI related product stylesheets have been merged into a single file named polopoly.css
  • Lazy initialization of tabs where possible
  • Removal of MochiKit dependency, minification and consolidation of the remaining JavaScrips into four files (down from 32)
  • The bundled FCKEditor has been slimmed down
  • All static resources under /polopoly now have correct cache headers. (For development it is possible to disable this feature by commenting out the StaticFileServlet in web.xml)

Performance has also been improved by optimizing the way lock information is checked and by tuning the default cache time for lock information. Many default content lists have also been modified to only show the top 30 entries instead of all entries in the list. To show the remaining entries a ”show all” button has been added. This behavior is configurable. See change note: #11782.

In-context editing, site specific categorization, widget profiling, browser compatibility and more

Apart from the performance improvements there are a number of other useful fixes in version 9.16.1.

The in-context editing has been updated. When saving content, the save will now also propagate down to any in-context content being edited within the same template. Furthermore, editing an in-context content and then pressing edit on the content it is visible in will result in the context content keeping its state.

Sounds complex? Try it out by editing the Alt-text of any image in the Standard article in Greenfield Times.

The categorization capabilities in version 9.16.1 has been extended to include site specific categorization. A new categorization tab has been added to the site template where you can configure the category dimensions to use. Every category dimension has been extended to support a custom Atex Text Mining plan. See upgrade notes for more information.

In 9.16.0, profiling support for Elements was introduced. This capability has been extended to GUI widgets in version 9.16.1. It is now possible to profile Orchid Widget lifecycle operations such as init(), render() and update() with the Metrics Reporting tool. See the Developer’s Guide under ”Profiling Polopoly web applications” for details.

The constant battle for browser compatibility continues in version 9.16.1. Issues with popup menus in combination with frames on Internet Explorer 7 and 8 have been addressed. The Velocity code in flash.vm now also generates Internet Explorer-friendly markup.

These are the major enhancements in version 9.16.1. See the detailed change list in the forum
