XOOPS:XOOPS 2.3.0 Alpha 3 版本发布
发布者: phppp在 2008/5/7 11:30:00 26321 人次阅读XOOPS 开发团队很高兴宣布发布XOOPS 2.3.0 Alpha 3版本。
XOOPS 2.3版本的目标是将现有的2.0和2.2分支合并,并为下一代系统XOOPS 3.0搭建桥梁。
使用XOOPS 2.3版本,用户将能够了解XOOPS 3.0中将提供的一些新功能,而开发者可以将更好地了解XOOPS发展的方向,设计师可以了解未来将支持哪些特性。
我们将尽可能地保证向后和向前的兼容性。为2.0.*和2.2.*编写的模块将能在2.3上运行;为2.3开发的程序将自动与XOOPS 3.0兼容。
我们鼓励开发者使用XOOPS 2.3编写他们的应用模块,以便他们可以集成一些新功能,并确保容易迁移到XOOPS 3.0。
Alpha 3版本中的具体改进之一是面向用户体验的后端界面增强,包括引入控制面板GUI,允许自定义后端界面,例如MusS的ThAdmin。

What's New for Developers ----------------------------------- 1 Improved XOOPS ORM by enabling extensible persistable object handler: - The improved persistable object handler supports almost all common methods for database access and data treatment, so that developers do not need to write their own classes or methods; - Custom handler is supported. Developers can add their own handler if they want more functionality or to replace XOOPS native handlers. 2 Improved text sanitizer: - Custom extension is supported. Developers can add new filters or methods to sanitizer based on their specific needs. - Built-in extensions, which can be disabled or enabled (e.g. for Flash, YouTube, images, Wiki, syntax highlight, text filter, etc.) - Combined with improved persistable object handler (see above), text input from users will be filtered automatically for security considerations. 3 Custom Frameworks support: - Module developers can add their own library or frameworks (located in XOOPS_ROOT_PATH/Frameworks) which can be shared by other modules. - PEAR, Geshi have been provided as custom libraries in Frameworks. - Once the code inside Frameworks is proven stable and valuable, they will be adopted by XOOPS core and moved into XOOPS core package. This way we can build a standard, efficient channel for third-party developers to contribute. 4 XOOPS editor packages are now supported officially: - A XoopsEditor handler is built to accept third-party editors; - Three editors, including Textarea, Dhtmltextarea, and Extended Dhtmltextarea are provided in XOOPS core. FCKeditor, TinyMCE, Koivi are now provided as third-party add-ons. 5 XOOPS CAPTCHA is built into XOOPS core: - CAPTCHA has been added to registration and comment forms. - Module developers can add CAPTCHA very easily to their applications. 6 XOOPS Control Panel GUI is introduced: - Old administration interface has been kept as legacy - A new interface is designed, although very rough at this stage - Custom interfaces are allowed, ThAdmin by MusS and Kris is the first one introduced 7 XOOPS file and folder engine is added, based on CakePHP. 8 XOOPS Cache engine is built based on CakePHP. 9 Some other improvements and new resources: - XoopsLocal for localization; - XoopsLoad emulating SPL autoload in PHP5; - XoopsUtility as a collection for miscellaneous methods used by XOOPS; - Block clone feature is activated to save module developers' efforts; - Enabled character set and collation support for MySQL 4.1+; - Upgraded Smarty to 2.6.19; - Upgraded phpmailer to 2.0.0; - Added XOOPS datafile and library folders for forward compatibility with XOOPS 3.0; - Added XOOPS_TRUST_PATH for compatibility with some modules, e.g. protector 10 For more changes, please check changelog.txt What's New for Theme/Template developers ----------------------------------- 1 Rel attribute for anchors is now supported. Developers/designers are encouraged to use (X)HTML compliant "rel" attribute instead of "target". 2 Control Panel GUI handler is introduced thus designers now get the power to make beautiful backend interfaces. What's New for Users ----------------------------------- So far the 2.3.0 Alpha does not give user many new features although it has great potential of adding new features very easily. Some of the new features that might interest users: - Default character set encoding has been changed to UTF-8; - Enabled "auto login" or "remember me"; - CAPTCHA is enabled for registration and comment system; - Block clone enabled so that webmasters have more flexibility; - XOOPS editor package is provided and most visual editors are avilable, e.g. FCKeditor, TinyMCE, etc.; - Mask is added for start page; - Implemented new installer with user experience improvement experiments What's Next ----------------------------------- - XOOPS Design Team will continue to improve themes and Control Panel interface which is not completed yet - Developers will collect feedback and make the package stable as soon as possible - Modules and add-ons will be taken care, e.g. profile module, PM module, frameworks, etc. System requirements ----------------------------------- PHP Any PHP version >= 4.3 (PHP 4.2.x may work but is not officially supported) MySQL MySQL server 3.23+ Web server Any server supporting the required PHP version (Apache highly recommended) Downloading XOOPS 2.3 Alpha ----------------------------------- Your can get this release package from the sourceforge.net file repository.
