What Changed in September 2010

to Thursday 2 September 2010

Fixed vcruise for Internet Explorer - I hope. The problem is no standard or consistency between browsers on how to return colour values. So lots of special-purpose code to force into a single mode.
Improvements to the gazetteer handling of waterway IDs, and loading database to prevent an error if there is rubbish in there.

Prevented deleted photos from appearing on the index page (which gives them a location of "NOT FOUND")
Added a "having turned at" to the overnight stops. This took a bit more work than I expected, but ended up working nicely.

→ Release 9.10.4

Removed a lot of old files from the templates directory to reflect the tidying up that had been done in July
Added some proper error messages instead of sudden death to load/save (eg for not selecting anything, entering an invalid key)
Prevented !places appearing on Google maps in gazetteer
Added a complete "change password" feature to the user page
And added a password change when you've forgotten it from the login box
And the code to follow the link from that

These last three address issue 236

→ Release 9.10.5

Tweak to prevent newline characters in place names (and to prevent editing adding spaces etc)
Can now extend waterways beyond junctions, not just beyond termini

→ Release 9.10.6

Slight improvement to yesterdays extension code to prevent a confusing duplication
Wrapped main database reads into transactions to prevent occasional problems where a new places appeared half way through someone reading the data and so broke the link structure for that one operation
Extension to last Monday's tweaks to prevent the waterway gazetteer blowing up when presented with id=$xxxx

→ Release 9.10.6.1
