rake schedule:import:csv. - Added menu link on 'bridgepdx' header to BoF event if they're available.
- FIXED Event, added uniqueness validations to slug and title fields.
- FIXED
rake clearto expire the compiled javascripts. - FIXED cache consistency, rollbacks now cause expirations so that cache doesn't store stale data.
- Improved performance of shared fragments, they're now only regenerated as needed and use fast preloaded data.
- Improved performance of user favorites, they now only load the proposal ids for more efficient transfers.
- Improved models, added cascade deletes to avoid leaving orphaned records after parents are deleted.
- Improved "README", described the various custom environmental variables that affect the application's behavior.
- Improved performance of event loading code by checking identifiers rather than loading entire objects.
- Added QueryTrace plugin, it shows where database queries are done. Set QUERYTRACE=1 environmental variable to use.
- Fixed "rake setup" and "rake setup:sample": these now drop, create and populate the database correctly.
- Improved admin interface, added a way to "accept and decline" a proposal in one step, as pair for the existing "accept and confirm".
- Improved the "README.markdown" documentation.
- FIXED proposal creation: the acts-as-taggable 1.1.9 plugin was buggy, reverted to 1.1.5.
- SECURITY flaw fixed: The buggy "restful_authentication" plugin used by OpenConferenceWare and OpenProposals let users without email addresses that had used the "remember me" feature to sometimes login as other users without email addresses that had also used the "remember me" feature during the same day. All known operators running this software were notified and sent patches in advance of this notification. Because authentication was handled by OpenID, a compromise could not be escalated and there was no password to steal, the worst thing an attacker could do was edit your profile and proposals.
- FIXED handling of multiple events: reworked layout, header, menu, favorites, tracks, etc.
- FIXED autoincrement id in the events table, which could prevent creation of new events.
- FIXED "rake setup:sample" to work with an empty database.
- FIXED exception handling to display clearer messages and correctly handle rendering errors in the layout.
- FIXED "/events/EVENTID/proposals/stats" to use per-event caching.
- CHANGED Gem dependencies to use Bundler. You must install the "bundler" gem and run "bundle install" to install the application's dependencies. If you're using the Capistrano deploy task, install Bundler and its "deploy" task will automatically install the other dependencies.
- CHANGED "bridgepdx" theme for 2010, it uses a new menu that provides a way to choose events and their associated data.
- Added shared fragments to provide a common heaer for Rails app, WordPress blog and wikis, these are local files that are included into these different applications.
- Added task to update thumbnails:
rake paperclip:refresh CLASS=User - Added factory_girl library, factories and additional specs.
- FIXED event-related checks to use a proposal's event when possible, rather than the current event, since these aren't always the same.
- FIXED scrolling to a specific field on the admin's "Manage event" page.
- Added #scroll_to helper, which scrolls the page to an HTML element.
- Added "cap db:use" task to dump and download remote database and restore it locally.
- Improved "rake db:raw:*" tasks to support proper database dump and restore for MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite3.
- Upgraded to jQuery 1.3.2 and jwysiwyg 0.6.
- FIXED rake use when not running the "test" environment.
- FIXED Event#underway? typo that would throw exception in schedule.
- Improved Proposal's session notes wiki linkage to use flexible URLs.
- Improved Proposal's export to iCalendar to include a time zone.
- Improved Room, added picture of room.
- Improved Proposal to only sort in a few specific ways.
- Improved DeferProxy, made it simpler and more transparent.
- FIXED bug that showed proposal statuses (e.g., "Accepted session") before these statues were published. They're now only shown if the Admin sets the "Proposal statuses published?" flag on an event.
- FIXED the login "remember me" feature. Previously it was ignored.
- FIXED proposals feeds. Made top-level "/proposal.atom" and event-specific "/events/2009/proposals.atom" feed. Also fixed the feed article timestamps so proposals aren't relisted if edited.
- FIXED the views to use "record-controls" wrappers around controls.
- CHANGED logic for finding the current event: first try using the "settings.yml" file's "current_event_slug" field and find an event with a matching slug, else use the old latest-deadline logic. Setting a current event is necessary if you have multiple open events and want a specific one to respond to URLs like "/proposals".
- CHANGED anonymous user's label from something like "myopenid.com" to "User #123 at myopenid.com", which is much clearer.
- CHANGED "rake db:dump" and "rake db:restore" to "rake db:raw:dump" and "rake db:raw:restore" to avoid collisions with YamlDB.
- Improved "rake db:raw:dump" and "rake db:raw:restore" to support both SQLite and MySQL.
- Improved proposal form, if an event has a single track or session type, it's used as the default and no UI is shown. This helps child events, e.g., parent has many tracks, child has one track.
- Improved events, added parent/child relationships between them. Change these these associations via the Admin's manage events UI.
- Added user favorites, these show up as stars next to all proposals.
- Added speaker list, e.g., "/events/2009/speakers".
- Improved display of sublists (e.g., a user's sessions and proposals). These list links back to sessions and display favorites.
- Improved CSV exports for proposals and added these to speakers.
- Improved session sidebox, added room and scheduling information.
- FIXED schema/migrations for MySQL, it was truncating important columns to 255 characters. This fix upgrades these "varchar(255)" columns to "text": proposal descriptions, schedule items excerpts and descriptions, snippets descriptions, and tracks descriptions. If you were using SQLite, you were not affected by this bug.
- FIXED layout, it no longer raises an exception if there's no event.
- FIXED cache expiration, it no longer raises an exception if called when there's no cache directory.
- FIXED events#index and events#show, they now keep flash notifications, these were previously getting discarded.
- FIXED schedule, it now only displays proposals that are confirmed and scheduled, previously it displayed proposals that were just scheduled.
- Added event slugs. These provide unique string identifiers for events (e.g., "2009bof"), rather the old integer identifiers (e.g., 2009).
- Improved proposal's admin UI, the room and schedule controls are only shown if the proposal is in a confirmed state.
- Added new CSV export system that provides more flexible exporting.
- Added DeferProxy, a clearer way to defer expensive queries.
- Added schedule. It can be displayed as HTML or imported as iCalendar and hCalendar data. New admin interfaces provide ways to create and manage ScheduleItems, non-session scheduled items such as a lunch break, and toggle whether the schedule is available to the public. A new "schedule:import:google_spreadheet" rake task is provided for importing schedule data from Google Spreadsheets as an alternative to using the per-item and bulk edit interfaces for setting the schedule.
- Improved the ProposalsController#sort_proposals method to use arguments rather than params, making it much easier to use and extend.
- Improved Track color handling with Color objects to make fancy color transformations easy.
- FIXED lookup of current event when no events where in the database.
- FIXED compatibility with Ruby 1.8.6p111, which doesn't have Enumerable#count.

- Added heavy caching to proposals and sessions indexes.
- Added helpers to display main and sub navigation based on proposal status and portion of the site being used.

- Improved boot, added check that ensures migrations have been applied.
- Improved documentation.
- FIXED login to work with current versions of ruby_openid and Passenger.
