Folks, A beta for FarCry 5.2 for those that might be interested in testing their solutions in advance. Overall its very stable and running on several production sites as is. In addition to the release notes, 5.2 contains all the cumulative fixes from the 5.1 maintenance branch.
Issue/feature list available here: http://bugs.farcrycms.org/browse/FC/fixforversion/10270 The real guts of the update documented here: http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCDEV50/Event+hooks You should be able to grab the head from the new p520 branch here: http://svn9.cvsdude.com/modius/farcry/core/branches/p520 Quick and dirty summary of this predominantly developer focused release... Blair has headed up a series of core changes that give us much better array of event hooks in the framework so we can better manage when things "change". The driving force behind "event hooks" has been to allow for much more flexibility when securing and delivering files and images -- though the hooks can be applied to any content type. 5.2 will make the following things much easier to manage: - file libraries that contain secure and insecure files - option to bypass download.cfm and so have public files delivered via the web server rather than CFCONTENT - options to more easily secure individual file assets by role - options to move files on approval; allowing public file libraries to have secured draft files We'll also be releasing a FarCry CDN option that leverages these features. FarCry CDN hooks into Amazon S3, and automatically moves media assets to S3 to be served. It's likely this will be a commercial offering only -- more news on this later.
