Additions, Changes, and Fixes

This page details the major feature additions and changes in Socialtext 1.7.2 from the previous version, Socialtext 1.7.1. The help page describes these new features in detail.

Changes - Easier Login

• We have made it easier to log in to Socialtext workspaces. Usernames are no longer case-sensitive (although passwords still are case-sensitive). We've made it easier to reset your password if you forgot it, and we've added a feature to log out without closing the browser, and for the system to remember your login information.

• Socialtext now uses relative font sizes, so you can use your browser's font size feature to control the size of displayed text.

• By popular demand, workspace administrators once again have access to the "Invite" command in the top menu

• New links for RSS feeds. The old urls will redirect to the new ones, so your existing subscriptions are not expected to break. The standard form for a Socialtext recent changes feed is now:
  .pre https://www2.socialtext.net/feed/workspace/<name_of_workspace>?category=Recent%20Changes
  .pre

>The old feeds were at:
.pre http://www.socialtext.net/<name_of_workspace>/index.cgi?action=rss20;category=Recent%20Changes
.pre

Bug Fixes

• We fixed a bug that adds spaces to some email addresses when sending a page by email to many recipients.

• We fixed bugs that caused occasional slow performance and problems with searching.

• A bug was fixed that prevented international utf-8 characters from being previewed correctly

Known Issues

• The "Backlinks" sidebar, which displays pages that link to the current page, is not working correctly. New links are not being added to the backlinks to display.

• By default, the page that is shown in the "My Favorites" sidebar box is the page named "My Favorites: my_user_id". You can choose a different page to display in the sidebar box by clicking on "Settings" in the top menu, and "Preferences/My Favorites" in the left menu.
