omeka/Omeka v2.7

on GitHub

Features

• PHP 7.3 compatibility
• Version notifications for new releases of plugins and themes
• Omeka now respects the X-Forwarded-Proto header for determining if it should generate http: or https: absolute URLs. This is primarily useful for users hosting Omeka behind a reverse proxy that's handling the HTTPS connections.
  • A new sslTrustProxy configuration key is available for users using the ssl force-redirect configuration to trust the X-Forwarded-Proto header and not issue unnecessary, looping redirects
• New forceSSL option for ZendS3 storage adapter to force use of https: addresses for file URLs (#877, contributed by @ebellempire)
• mail.force_from and mail.force_from_name options for forcing From: address for all outgoing email

Bugs Fixed

• Tag UI javascript error when editing items (#853, contributed by @luku)
• Inconsistent tag markup for new and existing tags when editing items (#854, contributed by @luku)
• Deprecation notice when running on PHP 7.2+ (#860, contributed by @Daniel-KM)
• "Remember me" checkbox on login non-functional on PHP 7.2+ (#872)
• Invalid SQL mode error when running on MySQL 8 (#858)
• Migration error when migrating from 1.x using MySQL 5.7+ (#831)
• item_next and item_prev filters had no way to indicate the end of the sequence (#851)
• Inconsistent form enctype between collection add and edit forms (#856)
• items_output_url page detection fails on "items" pages added by plugins, leading to incorrect feed URLs (#880)

Improvements

• "Simple" item search converted to use subqueries, leads to a significant observed speed increase on modern MySQL versions
• Public-side file show page now includes a link back to the parent item
• "Browse by tag" view for items now sorts tags alphabetically by default
• New "back to top" link in admin footer
• ZendS3 storage adapter now leaves slashes unencoded in URLs
• ZendS3 storage adapter will "chunk" expiration times, allowing for some end-user caching by preventing the URL from changing on every request
• reCAPTCHA text specifies that v2 keys must be used

• New image_tag_attributes filter (#871)
