 | YACS 5.12 has been released: wikis, editors, threads, slideshows, performance, installation - Wikis have gained so much traction in the Internet arena during previous months, that it was almost impossible to not consider to implement wiki-like mechanisms sooner or later. With this release YACS allows for anonymous contributions to one or more sections, and this is a big change in the rights management scheme implemented previously.
This does not mean that your YACS site has to be entirely open to everybody. Actually, this new release also empowers editors in sections they are managing. This will allow you to extend your community to key contributors, while limiting the number of associates to a very minimum.
On popular demand threads of comments have been separated from main content, except in discussion boards of course. This way of proceeding, while departing from the common blogging approach, will allow for a better scalability. Also, a central place has been created to access most recent threads easily, whatever section they belong to.
Since very old releases YACS may add a web interface to a directory of files. Streaming of audio and video files has been introduced in a previous version. This release comes with a new nice feature, aiming to create automatic slideshows out of your shots and images.
A new cache strategy has been introduced for pages with a high number of components, such as the home page. Previously, every component was cached separately, and many SQL statements were necessary to retrieve them. Now the entire page is put in the cache once, and only one SQL statement is required on cache hit.
Also, a web form has been introduced to edit text files of any skin. This means that web designers can tune a new skin without any direct access to server's file system. Instead, they will derive a skin from an existing one, and then edit cascaded style sheets and templates remotely, from within their favorite web browser. » Published on Dec. 23 2005 In Releases |
