This is an all new version of SWF Tools. This beta inclues a number of key features which are now ready for testing.
You must run update.php before using this version - there are lots of changes to the underlying structure, and SWF Tools now has an associated table in the database! The update process should manage all of this for you.
The key new features are:
#483524: Create SWF Tools "profiles" - This is the long awaited SWF Tools profile feature. At the moment WordPress audio, JW4 and FlowPlayer3 have been made profile aware. It's all working fine. The only caution is that at the moment there's nothing to stop you deleting a profile that is in use on a CCK field!
#754676: Implement SWF Tools cache - This is an all new caching mechanism for SWF Tools. This has relatively little effect on the input filter since this natively caches. But it has HUGE impact with CCK. If SWF Tools is asked to provide something it already it comes straight from the cache. The time to produce a piece of content is anything up to 200 times faster!
#754734: Write xml to the cache table, not the file system - SWF Tools no longer puts xml files in the files/playlist directory. It stores them in its own internal cache and serves them as needed from there. No more directory full of random xml stuff!
First alpha release 4.x branch:
- Major OOP rework: Message, Destination, Send_Method
- Reworked messaging_simple, now it uses its own table
- Support for Anonymous destinations / subscriptions.
- Reorganized modules: new template module, moved debug module to notifications_extra, etc..
- Implemented 7.x like API for static variables,
- API and storage improvements for upcoming multilingual support.
This is the first alpha on the road to a stable release. In this release:
Added support for writing the SSO cookie upon successful authentication in Drupal to preserve SSO functionality with other Crowd-enabled applications on the domain
Added new configuration option for choosing whether the SSO cookie is secure or non-secure
Fixed a bug where the SSO cookie was not being expired when a user logged out of Drupal
