[ANNOUNCE] Krang v2.007

Krang v2.007 is now available (the source release is up now and binary
builds should be up soon). Notable changes in this release and in
v2.006, which never received a proper announcement:

* Improvements to the list-data management system, command-line
tools and associated element classes. [Jesse Erlbaum]

* Added support for Konqueror and fixed Krang to deny access to Mac
IE, which was never supported. [Michael Peters]

* Krang now automatically deletes any alerts tied to a desk when
that desk is deleted, fixing a long-standing import/export
bug. [Michael Peters]

* Added --clean option to bin/krang_addon_installer. [Michael
Peters]

* Added new index to element table. This index will greatly speed
complex publishing logic. Thanks to James Reidy for identifying
the bottleneck. [Jesse Erlbaum]

* Allow users whose page-size preference is 100, to be able to
toggle between 100 and 20, instead of 100 and 100.
[Michael Peters]

* SiteServer configuration now does server-side includes by default.
SSI is very common for sites managed by Krang. This will make
development use of the SiteServer more useful and easier.
[Jesse Erlbaum]

* Added new --grep option to krang_upload_media. This option
permits you to use a regex to filter what you want media to
upload. [Jesse Erlbaum]

* Binary distributions now include src/ allowing for rebuilding
installed copies of Krang. [Sam]

* Fixed krang_install --FromBackup issues when the backups contain
addons. [Michael Peters]

* Fixed bug where KDS import would trigger delete_hook calls when
updating elements for stories and categories. [Sam]

* Fixed bulk-edit to allow white-space on the blank line separating
paragraphs. [Sam]

* Modified krang_schedulectl to skip scheduler start-up if
SchedulerMaxChildren parameter is set to 0 in krang.conf. This
is useful in development when you do not want the scheduler to
run. [Jesse Erlbaum]

* Fixed several bin/ scripts to always load Krang::Conf via
Krang::ClassLoader before using it. This fixes problems
overriding Krang::Conf in an addon. [Sam]

* Changed krang_upload_templates script to now handle "global"
templates (those without categories). [Jesse Erlbaum]

* Numerous other bug fixes.

Krang is an Open Source web-publisher / content-management system
designed for large-scale magazine-style websites. It is a 100% Perl
application using Apache/mod_perl and MySQL, as well as numerous CPAN
modules.

Krang provides a powerful and easy to use story and media editing
environment for website editors, as well as a complete template
development environment for web designers. On the back-end, Perl
programmers can customize Krang to control the data entered in the
story editor and add code to drive the templates to build output.
Krang can be enhanced with add-ons containing new skins and other new
features. Krang easily handles large data sets and can manage
multiple websites in a single installation.
