Help us test the Textpattern CMS 4.3.0 Release Candidate

The first release candidate of Textpattern CMS 4.3.0 is ready for testing. Please download a copy and report any unexpected behaviour on the Issue tracker or forum thread to help us build a high-quality final release.

Highlights

• Happy retirement to The Carver: new logo courtesy of Philipp Schilling (aka belipe)
• Optional image constant ihu for serving static images
• Textpacks for distributing localised strings
• Improved search ability with search modes “any” or “all”
• New image tags: <txp:image_list>, <txp:image_info />, <txp:image_url />, <txp:image_date />, <txp:if_thumbnail />, <txp:image_author />
• New tags: <txp:link_author />, <txp:file_download_author />
• <txp:if_custom_field /> pimped to allow any/all/regex matches
• <txp:image /> and <txp:article_image /> now accept width/height attributes
• File titles
• Content type upgrade: URL-style /category and /author lists now possible for all of TXPs native types. Corresponding conditional tags upgraded too
• New callbacks on the Images tab and more consistent API for shielding plugin authors from DB changes: article_format_info() and link_format_info()
• New optional Start tab for dashboard plugins
• No more ‘friendly’ Stylesheet editor. Stylesheets no longer BASE64-encoded in the database
• Textile 2.2: support for notelists, definition lists, thead, tbody, table summary/caption, colgroups, new glyphs for fractions, plusminus and degrees symbol, plus performance improvements and bug fixes
• Seemingly over-the-top semantic admin-side markup changes. Will be thinned in due course; please consult the forthcoming guidelines for maximising plugin and theme compatibility in future TXP versions
• Inconsistent tag attributes renamed to conform
• Author/meta tags can display real name or login name
• Transparent pixels preserved in PNG/GIF thumbnails
• Faster logins
