- session_(dla|action) is stored in egw_access_log table
- notifications refresh via ajax set notification_heartbeat timestamp in egw_access_log
- if notification_heartbeat is set (happens only for browser sessions with popup notification) sessions get removed from session list one minute after browser is closed
- new static method egw_session::notifications_active($account_id) to check if given user has an open browser with notifications popup checking, to ensure popup notifications can fall back to email
--> REQUIRES DATABASE UPDATE / SETUP
longer use GUIDs containing eGW's install_id, as the information is
irrellevant for SyncML and cause doublications of entries if the
install_id changes.
I plan to have a new rc4 Wednesday or Thursday containing these changes.
sqlfs stores files with fs_id < 100 directly under /sqlfs in the files
dir. They conflict with directories created for fs_id >= 1000.
--> fs_id < 100 are now in a directory /sqlfs/00
You need to run the 1.5.016 update or you will not find the content of
files with fs_id < 100 anymore!
- removed include_root (is now always identical to server_root)
- removed mcrypt_version (not relevant to todays php versions)
- replaced session_type with session_handler
- look is now a bit more like setup and eGroupware itself
--> updated header-version to 1.29 forcing everyone to update
a hashed directory structure based on the fs_id and not longer on the
path (which can not be recovered, once the filesystem get's corrupt)
--> Make backups (db AND files directory), before attempting the update !!!!!!!!
- if you already run the 1.5.003 update (AND modified anything in the VFS), you have to re-run it, to not loose your modifications or risk an inconsistent VFS (DB does not match filesystem)
- to re-run the 1.5.003 update (only if your version is already 1.5.003 or bigger!) run the following sql:
UPDATE egw_applications SET app_version=1.5.002 WHERE app_name=phpgwapi
- the new vfs supports now an extended ACL, if that is supported by the backend (sqlfs only currently)
- eacl allows to set separate recursive acl rights for different users or groups on a directory (and subdirs)
- former group grants of group dirs are converted to eacl, thought we only support read or read+write access (no extra add or delete)
- attachments via the links class now also use a stream wrapper interface (links_stream_wrapper) and WebDAV as download handler (which requires no longer filemanager run rights)
- all (sql) accounts have now allways a contact associated with them (account_id is added as new column to the contacts table)
- contacts queries are simplefied a lot now, as no more join with the accouns-table, union and case when statesments are necessary
- lot of the special handling for accounts in the contacts class is no longer needed
- new contact-repository mode "sql-ldap" which additional writes all changes to the ldap repository, to allow to use it read-only from eg. thunderbird and still have the full sql speed and features within eGW (not yet fully working!)
==> requites update of API and addressbook to work (setup!)
- new cleaner AND documented interfaces
- old interfaces are still availible, but depricated
- LDAP backend stores now membership information in LDAP too, and does NO longer require the phpgwAccount schema
- LDAP backend deals now well with LDAP schema in which posixGroup is no structural object (eg. newer SuSE distros)
- password from users are done now binded as that user, so if you dont need/use our admin to manage accounts, you can give a root-dn which only allows to search&read accounts
