Changes from 1.0.1 to 1.2
Version 1.2 is the latest release of the Document Database. It main new
features are:
- MySQL Support: The Document Database can now work with either MySQL
Postgres!
- Filearea: The file area is a place on the Document Database which can
be used to share unpublished documents, source code, presentations,
etc. amongst the Document Database users. Files are organized in a
directory tree. The file area is searchable (for filenames only)
and preserves the same user rights as known from document entries.
- Notes: This is an exciting new feature. Every user can comment on a
document using the notes feature. Each user can read everyones
notes, unless they are private.
- Boolean Search: The database supports now queries for multiple words
depending on different fields. These boolean searches can be
conveniently generated using a query builder or entered
directly. Here is an example: knuth<in>au <and>concrete<and>math
- BibtexID: Until now, the Document Database used its unique document
numbers as BibTeX Identifiers. Now there exists an optional
field for bibtex ID. If no ID is entered the unique document
number will be used as before, otherwise the bibtex keys.
- Limited Foreign Character Support: The Document Database now supports
a limited set of foreign characters. It interprets the LaTeX
commands for these and displays then properly on the web page.
There is also a new Help page that shows all supported
characters and how they have to be entered for LaTeX.
It also includes many bug fixes, security fixes. Users of the Document Database are strongly encouraged to update to 1.2.
