Textpattern CMS 4.3.0 Release Candidate

Another release (candidate) from the Textpattern.com-Crew. Bringing many improvements and is a first step to a table less admin area. Rocks.

  • 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
