I’m pleased to announce the release of Bricolage 1.6.10 “Jump”. This maintenance release addresses a number issues discovered since the release of version 1.6.9. Here is the complete list of changes for this release:

• Added missing index to the “workflow__id” column of the “story”, “media”, and “formatting” (template) tables. [David]

• Made index on the “desk__id” column of the “story”, “media”, and “formatting” (template) tables a partial index, since the column will usually be “NULL”. [David]

• Added an index to the description column of the “story_instance”, “media_instance”, and “formatting” (template) tables to speed up simple searches. [David]

• Added missing foreign key constraints for the “desk_id” column of the “story”, “media”, and “formatting” (template) tables. [David]

• “make clone” no longer fails when it can’t find httpd.conf, because it no longer looks for it. [David]

• “make clone” no longer assumes that the conf directory is in $BRICOLAGE_ROOT, and prompts the user to find out. [David]

• Bricolage once again works with Perl 5.6.x and Perl 5.8.1. [David]

• Made bric_republish and bric_dev_sync safe to use with “https://”. [Geoff Richards]

• The user object is no longer instantiated from the database every time a user sends a request to Bricolage. It appears that this bit of overhead has unfortunately been imposed on every request since Bricolage 1.0 due to a very stupid typo. [David]

• The creation of the Bricolage PostgreSQL user and database during installation no longer complains about usernames or database names with dashes and other non-alphanumeric characters in them. Thanks to Marshall Roch for the spot! [David]

• Fixed ancient bug revealed by the release of DBI 1.41. [David]

• Photoshop-generated images no longer make Bricolage choke when they’re uploaded to a Media profile that autopopulates fields. Reported by Paul Orrock. [David]

• The “lookup()” method of the story, media, and template classes will now correctly return inactive objects. [David]

• Fixed typo of “CHECK_FREQUENCY” in Bric::Config that made it always use the default of 1. [Scott]

• The “lookup()” method of the story, media, and template classes once again attempt to retrieve objects from the per-request cache before looking them up in the database. [David]

• Changed the name of the event logged when templates are checked out from “Template Checked Out Canceled” to the correct “Template Checked Out.” [David]
