+ incrementally when they are produced, uses standard internationalized
+ template scheme to display results of queries, which can be sorted by real
+ publication date and include things like image thumbnails

+[Bugfixes]
+* minor: in source/mir/misc/HTMLTemplateProcessor.java, use Video.Host
+ config option not the non-existant VideoHost option.

+1.0.0-rc6 released 2002/12/20
+=============================
+
+[New features/Improvements]
+* throw a RuntimeException in MirConfig.getProp(..) if the property is not
+ found. This should ease upgrading between versions when a new Config property
+ is added.
+
+[Bugfixes]
+* Add a new method to escape characters that are special characters in SQL. It
+ does a better job than the old hack in StringUtil.quote(..) which replaced
+ single quotes with the HTML representation of a single quote ('
+ I believe). The hack papered over a bug in the postgres JDBC driver which
+ makes it not recognize escaping w/ a backslash (it uses double single quotes
+ instead).
+
+[Build process]
+
+[Maintenance]
+* remove some unused methods in the StringUtil class.

+1.0.0-rc5 released 2002/12/13
+=============================
+
+[New features/Improvements]
+* remove gratuitous uses of encodeHTML in admin templates. this speeds things
+ up.
+* make StringUtil.deleteForbiddenTags handle the case when a tag is spread over
+ more that one line.
+
+
+[Bugfixes]
+* encodeHTML in admin templates shouldn't be used for the list views.
+* StringUtil.deleteForbiddenTags regexps didn't ignore case.
+* do not use encodeHTML for internal comments and messageboard in the admin.
+* next link in messageboard list was broken. (link pointed to "User" module
+ instead of Message module.
+* remove unwanted tags in MediaRequest as well.
+* fix call of StringUtil.deleteForbiddenTags in
+ ServletModuleOpenIndy.insposting.
+* Fix to_topic (just to_topic, not data.to_topic) select field in
+ posting.template that prevented the chossing of a topic in openposting from
+ working. luckily this bug didn't affect most sites since most installations
+ customize the template.
+
+
+[Build process]
+
+[Maintenance]
+* remove debug prints in ServletModuleOpenIndy.java
+* remove lot's of no longer used source files and templates.
+

+=============================
+1.0.0-rc4 released 2002/12/10
+=============================
+
+[New features/Improvements]
* set a "Cache-control", "Pragma" and "Expires" header to the http response
in the Mir and OpenMir servlets to insure that nothing gets cached by a
client browser.
+* Add a new config parameter: Mir.DefaultHTMLCharset to set the HTML
+ content-type charset in one place and re-use it in templates as
+ ${config.defEncoding}.
+* Allow some HTML tags in the abstract (description field) during an
+ openposting. strip out the dangerous ones like <head>, <body> and <script> as
+ well as table tags. also strip out dangerous tags from the article body
+ (content_data).
+* re-introduce smaller/better encodeHTML method to StringUtil class. make it
+ directly callable in FreeMarker templates (like the "lang" template method)
+* comment and media lists: after deleting an item, return to the same place
+ you were in the list.
[Bugfixes]
+* fix content-type in response header: we were sending the Java character
+ encoding instead of the HTML one.
+* backport from the HEAD branch: fix finding out the Module Name in
+ the ServletModule base class. needed for generic routines like delete.
+* backport: don't try to free a JDBC connection in EntityImages if it is null.
+* Fix embarrassing bug in the admin interface that caused data to dissappear
+ when double quotes were in a title form field for example.. (anything
+ enclosed in a value="...")
+* fix a bug in comment search: if you were at an offset > 0, i.e not on the
+ first page, the search would be broken.
+* fix minor bug in media searching: mediafolder search setting would be reset
+ each time. make sure it is not so.
+* backport from HEAD: fix minor email address filtering bug.
[Build process]
[Maintenance]
+* comment out a bunch of debug logging in Database.java
+* add this file, REPORTING_BUGS, KNOWN_BUGS, CODINGSTYLE and a README file.
+* Add gnu Style ChangeLog using cvs2cl (use "-F MIR_1_0 --utc" options., for
+ HEAD, it would be "-F trunk --utc")
[Notes]
+* you'll need to add the new "Mir.DefaultHTMLCharset" config option to your
+ config.properties file. see config.properties-dist

the maximum number of files one can upload
* support changing the character encoding used in for produced files
