A brief feature update of some further things that just made it into the soon-to-be-released SMW1.0:
* Properties with Type:Page will now display values in the image namespace by showing actual images, at least in Factboxes and #ask query results. [Contribution by Yaron Koren] * There is an optional pattern matching string search for properties of Type:String. For instance the query atom [[property::% Semantic*]] matches anything with a value for property that starts with "Semantic". Since this feature might be costly, it is not enabled by default, but can be added with a configuration option (see SMW_Settings.php). [Contribution by Thomas Bleher] * Query result tables now support correct sorting for all kinds of values, especially for dates and for formatted numerical values (possibly with unit). So far the JavaScript sometimes would wrongly sort such values alphabetically. [Contribution by Tobias Matzner] * There is a new RSS-Feed feature that allows you to subscribe to query results. Besides the associated performance issues with thousands of users re-issuing queries regularly, this should be an extremely cool thing. It simply works by creating an inline query with the new format "rss", which creates a link to an RSS feed. The parameters "rsstitle" and "rssdescription" can be used to describe the feed, "searchlabel" is available to customise the link text. Print requests are largely ignored right now, unless they use the label "creator" or "date" in which case they are used for specifying the according fields in RSS. Otherwise the last wiki editor and modification date is used. An example is to be found at the top of [1]. Configuration parameters are available for enabling/disabling this feature, and to choose between complete embedding of articles and plain result lists. Note that this is also very nice in conjunction with Firefox' dynamic bookmark feature, enabling browser bookmarks that link to recent query results from your favourite wiki. [Work by Denny & myself] Thanks to all contributors for code, helpful discussions, and comments on improving SMW. Unless something terrible happens, SMW1.0 will be released in 2007.
