Improvements

  • New Item Advanced Search options
    • AND/OR support for combining multiple searches
    • "starts with" and "ends with" search types (#688, contributed by @luku)

    • [No Collection] is now an option for finding items that don't belong to a collection (#693, contributed by @Daniel-KM) (#746)
  • Use Square Thumbnails appearance setting: Admins can now select whether themes use square or "normal" thumbnails by default without editing the theme files (#763)
  • Warnings presented to users when navigating away from pages with unsaved changes (#771, thanks also to @Daniel-KM for #722 and @luku for #753)
  • Additional wider version of admin theme added (#751, contributed by @luku)
  • New autoloader prevents many "white-screen" errors and otherwise consumed error messages from autoloaded files
  • Site title on login page links to public side, not admin (#646, contributed by @miniol)
  • Admin collections show pages now include the list of output formats
  • Improved ARIA labels for accessibility
  • New "display_title" property to simplify getting a title suitable for use in labels and headings
  • User zooming is now enabled for mobile devices in the admin (#718, contributed by @luku)
  • The Item API now allows for simple search
  • Administrators can now allow the id attribute in the HTML Security Settings
  • An option to choose the admin theme is now shown if the user has installed or created an alternative admin theme
  • New ignore_unknown option for metadata() to allow the call to fail silently if Omeka cannot find the Element Set or Element the call refers to (#712)
  • The delete confirmation dialog title is now translatable (#752, contributed by @luku)
  • Mime type detection for "text" filetypes is improved (#757, contributed by @Daniel-KM)

  • Added item_next and item_previous filters for altering Omeka's default "Next Item" and "Previous Item" links (#743)
Changes
  • The theme configuration page now redirects back to itself on save, not to the Themes page (#744, contributed by @luku)
  • TinyMCE's validation has been loosened (#727, contributed by @doana)
  • TinyMCE's conversion of "special characters" to HTML entities is restricted to otherwise-invisible whitespace only
  • Shell command names are escaped with escapeshellarg, not escapeshellcmd. In particular, this should improve treatment of paths containing spaces as is common on Windows
  • "Add Input" buttons on element form are now "button" type buttons instead of "submit" type, so they no longer submit the form in the case of some scripting problem
  • Collections no longer attempt to show the "Text" Item Type Metadata element when showing a preview of the items in the collection
  • The red top border on admin content is now simply red instead of being made out of an image
  • The admin record views now check for the specific "delete" privilege before showing the Delete button (this affects only users who alter the default ACL) (#750, contributed by @luku)
  • The installer now checks for the "dom" and "filter" extensions before allowing install (#673)
External Libraries
  • Zend Framework 1.12.20
