If you have bugs to report, please use the Bugtraq Changes from 2 10 Beta 2 and 2 10 rc1

The only changes have been bug fixes and code cleanup to beta 2 Changes from 2 10 Beta 1 and 2 10 Beta 2 Main Changes:

Send a List Message and Send a Webpage

Send a List Message and Send a Webpage screens now have a new widget to allow you to, Archive but DO NOT Send a message This is a stop gap for the missing feature of adding/editing an archive Messages can also be backdated, so this should provide a way to add in old messages

Send a Webpage

The Send a Webpage screen now also has an option to just write an HTML document, instead of having to point a URL of where a document may live The web-based WYSIWYG editor is hooked up to this as well

Admin: View Archive

The Archive Index screen has been templated out, finally It's been slightly redesigned - using a table instead of a ordered list to show all the archives available There's also a new function to, "purge all archive messages" If you have the DB File backend, this will actually delete the archive's db file, which may help if the archive file is completely corrupted

The individual archive screens now has a link to the publically available version of the archive message and a note saying that the admin view may be different than the view you're seeing there

There's also a small new feature to allow you to see the source of the message itself (works only with the SQL backend)

Ongoing CSS/Layout Changes

  • default CSS file has been simplified and reorganized into meaningful categories, making things easier to find and change

  • improved XHTML compliance

  • improved structural markup (many things out of table-based layouts for greater CSS-based design control)

  • added structural groupings to the templates, following in the footsteps of the CSS Zen Garden http://csszengarden com, for greatly enhanced CSS customization and control (All new id's and classes are listed in the default CSS file ) Changes from 2 10 Alpha 1 and 2 10 Beta 1
