Bugs Fixed I have also fixed the bug that stopped a properties change from triggering an XML reload.

Photo 1.2.2 Released
by Ron Bickers 09 Nov '01

09 Nov '01

Photo 1.2.2 has been released. For more info and to download, see http://www.zope.org/Members/rbickers/Photo. See README.txt for details of new features. See UPGRADE.txt for upgrading from prior releases. * Release 1.2.2 (Stable) - Nov. 8, 2001 - Removed: a script is no longer available for upgrading from the old Photo product. Too many things are different. - Added: option to generate displays on-the-fly instead of when the photo is added. - Added: timeout (in minutes) for displays to remain generated. This is somewhat experimental, because of the unknown practical effects on how the ZODB will grow with these updates. When a display is viewed, if more than half of timeout has passed since the display's mod time, the mod time is updated to the current time and the other displays are flushed if their mod time's are greater than timeout. If timeout is 0, the displays are never removed. - Added: Purge All action in displays will remove all generated displays. If any displays are "checked", they will not be removed and their mod times will be reset. - Added: Clean Up action in displays will remove all generated displays that have expired. If any displays are "checked", they will not be removed and their mod times will be reset. - Changed: moved Upgrade.py to the Extensions directory so it no longer needs to be copied to do an upgrade. Thanks to Robert Rottermann for the tip. Enjoy! _______________________ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc.
