20 january 2007 – Infrae has just released version 1.5.10 of the Silva content management system. This is a maintenance release that includes additions to the documentation, default layout performance improvements, and fixes for various minor issues. Changes in Silva and related products A list of the most important changes follows. For complete details of the fixed issues see HISTORY.txt in the packages. Silva * Added an explicit base tag to the layout template, so that it no longer includes a trailing slash which Zope adds for all container-like objects, which Silva Documents are. This means that linking to anchors now works like you would expect it to. Users should add a base tag to their own layout templates. * Solved problem with trailing slashes in relative Links (thanks to Benno Luthiger). * Fix for TOCs and AutoTOCs where docs that didn’t have a title didn’t appear because the link was empty (it was there). Now the id shows up so visitors can at least click it. * Default installations will have the html meta tags and accessibility links skipped in the layout macro to have better out of the box performance. Site managers can turn them on as needed. * Changed css styling of the preview publisher buttons, making it easier for users to integrate the publisher into their own layout. SilvaMetadata * MetadataTool.getMetadataValue did not work correctly for Ghosts and Ghost Folders, it does now. What is Silva? Silva is a powerful CMS for organizations that manage complex websites.
