Version 3.1 Build 0

18 November 2009

Enhancements

Map-related enhancements
- Added numbered markers (1 to 30) and colored markers to the Map Editor and Map Events dialog
- Added drag/drop functionality to resequence items in the Map Editor item list
- Added arrow buttons to resequence items in the Map User Item's list of events
- Added the Show Place Comment option to the Map Events dialog
Added a Sort option to the Exhibit Gallery that allows the items to be sorted by the Exhibit Topic
Added a Comment option to DNA Grid User Item that controls the display of the Comment field associated with DNA test results
Added a new Theme, Carla's Old Ships
Added an "Ignore" choice to the Person Entry Chart List pull-down menu in the Format section

Changes

Adjusted the processing of the Y-DNA Detail event memo to support TMG printer codes and variables
Changed the Exhibits.Include Back-Links feature to include source exhibits
Changed the default line color for Maps from "#f00" to "#fd645c" to match the base color for the red icon

old

new
Added four new date formats ("Aaaa d.m.yyy", "Aaaa dd.mm.yyyy", "Aaa d.m.yyy", "Aaa dd.mm.yyyy") in respone to a request from a Finnish user
Added the Page Strings.Pedigree Close property so that the [Close] button on the Pop-up Pedigree window can be translated to the appropriate language
Changed the Google Maps configuration for the Place Index Map Links feature to avoid a problem introduced by a change to the Google Maps service
Changed the Place Index Map Links feature to refer to Bing Maps, the new name of Microsoft's Virtual Earth-based mapping service; the Map User Item mapping service option for Bing Maps remains "Virtual Earth", as that is the API Second Site uses and the mapping service name is not visible to people browsing the generated site
As part of implementing custom markers for Bing Maps, the user interface has been changed: with previous Virtual Earth maps, hovering over a marker would open the information window. Starting with this version, the user must click the icon to open the information window. This is more consistent with the other mapping services but was implemented due to limitations associated with the custom icon facility in the Virtual Earth mapping API
Adjusted the HTML Editor so it will retain empty DIV elements
Updated JavaScript to use new versions of jQuery (v1.3.2) and related libraries
Added special scripts for frameset pages; this avoids issues with scripting subcomponents that aren't designed for frameset pages

Fixes

Changed the HTML for the Exhibit Gallery to avoid an issue in Firefox where the caption was not always formatted properly
Fixed a bug where the Item Class property was not converted properly for charts originally created in Second Site 2
Fixed a bug where the Exhibits.Text Is Preformatted didn't work for linked text exhibits
Fixed a bug where the conditional form of the RPAR:rolename variable did not work properly
Fixed a bug where the DNA signature derivation logic in the DNA Overlay Chart did not merge signatures properly in the ancestor-to-descendant direction to enforce maximum parsimony
Fixed a bug in the DNA Grid User Item where the group title/description row did not display properly in Internet Explorer
Fixed a bug in the List based on person's events option of the Custom Index User Item: when the target person is excluded, Second Site did not treat the person as if included

Information for Theme and Format Authors

Updated all the Header Scripts to use a new method to detect the Main Page and include or omit the site's SubTitle
Updated all Formats to use the translation for the [Close] button on the pop-up pedigree window
Updated all Formats to add CSS classes to lists that appear in the person page entry; see Person Page Entry Lists

Version 3.0 Build 7

31 May 2009

Enhancements

Added the Exhibits.Include Back-Links checkbox to control adding links from exhibit pages back to the person page associated with people linked to the exhibit
Added the Page.ExhibitHRef() script function which makes it possible to create a stable link to an external exhibit page
Added the Help > Check for a New Version command
Added Danish translation files courtesy of Second Site user Michael Erichsen

Changes

Changed the processing of the Filename property for the Custom Page User Item: it is now possible to create files with an extension that is different from the Second Site default by specifying the file extension in the Filename property. This is limited to certain recognized filetypes such as ".php"
This feature was added to allow people to create pages with extensions other than ".htm" without changing the filetype of all the files on the site.

Fixes

Fixed two bugs where the Family History Hosting > Publish command would sometimes fail when attempting to upload files in subfolders of the Output (-o) folder
Fixed a problem where latitude/longitude parameters were not created properly in Maps and Map Links for users in locales where a comma is used as the decimal point; this change replaces an earlier, partially-effective fix introduced in v2.2.6

Information for Theme and Format Authors

Updated all the Image Page Content Scripts to include back-links

Version 3.0 Build 4

10 May 2009

Changes

Added support for a ThemeGallery folder in the User Data Folder; see the Themes page for details
Added three Page Scripts:
- No Header is a Header Script that suppresses the header content
- Extra at Top is a Content Script that places the Extra Content at the top rather than its usual place at the bottom of the page content
- Surname Index with Extra at Top is a variation of the script above that can be used on the Surname Index
Added support for the EthnoAncestry 27-marker Y-DNA test
Added the File > Preferences > Unregister... command for beta testing and to allow customers to re-register using updated credentials

Fixes

Fixed an error where the Slideshow User Item was including hidden files in the HTML for the set of pictures
Fixed a bug in the Family History Hosting > Publish command where attempting to upload to the main site would cause a folder not found error
Fixed a bug where the Open Editor button in the toolbar did not work
Replaced the CheckComp.exe program with a version that works with Second Site 3
Fixed a bug in the DNA Overlay Chart where the Show Kit Numbers Only property was visible; the functionality associated with that property was removed during beta testing
Removed the Add > Links > Main Page command; the command was no longer appropriate in Second Site 3 where the Main Page is a Custom Page, not a Link

Version 3.0 Build 0

5 May 2009

Enhancements

Changed the Main Page from a Link User Item to a Custom Page; Second Site v3 converts Main Page Link User Items in v2 SDF files to Custom Pages
Added the DNA Overlay Chart
Added the DNA Grid User Item
Added the Slideshow User Item
Added the Publish Section and the Family History Hosting > Publish command for automated site updates
Updated the People Section to allow more control over what information is shown or hidden for Living people
When Second Site 3 reads an SDF file written by Second Site 2, it converts the old settings to the new settings.

Due to some inconsistencies in how Second Site 2 interpreted its filters (Show Excluded Parents, etc.), and some new options in Second Site 3, you should review the People Section properties to make sure they are set properly for you.
Added the Item Class property to the following chart types so they can be placed on their own page or placed on a Custom Page:
Added the Format.FamilySectionNote property to designate an event type whose text will be used as a comment in the Family section and is intended to be similar to the function of the NarrativeChildren tag in the TMG Journal Report
Merged the SubPage User Item and Custom Page User Item. Custom Pages can now do everything that the SubPage and Custom Pages did in prior versions. When Second Site 3 reads a Second Site 2 SDF file, it converts SubPages to Custom Pages
Added an HTML Editor for text properties; the Edit > Open Editor... command will open a WYSIWYG HTML editor for all text properties that allow blocks of HTML content
Added a Search by Name facility for specifying TMG ID numbers for all the text fields that accept TMG ID numbers; click the icon next to the field to open the Search by Name window
Added the ability to copy User Items using the Copy and Paste commands; you can now copy User Items from one SDF file to another
Added the User Item List preference
Added a Make Site option: if you hold the shift key down when clicking the toolbar icon or when selecting Make Site from the File menu, Second Site will create the Custom Pages, Charts, and Custom Indexes only. This feature is intended to help people test those pages quickly and without creating all the person pages, etc.
Added the Include Spouses option to the Relationship Chart
Added the File > Preferences >Set Default Editor... command to allow users to disable the HTML Editor and always use the Text Editor for HTML properties
Changed the Map Editor to allow HTML in the Text field of manually-created map items
Added the Show in Item List property to Map Items added via the Map Editor; uncheck this item to prevent an item from being shown in the Map's Item List

Changes

Removed the Chart List User Item: arrange your Chart User Items to create the menu items and lists that you desire
Changed the Second Site user interface to honor the Windows Theme
Changed the Calendar and Map User Items to honor event-specific names
Added the "Is Empty" and "Is Not Empty" operators to the place filter in the Map Events window
Second Site now ignores exclusion markers added to the principal IDs in an event shared by two principals; in past versions of Second Site, the event was not shown for one principal if the other principal's ID was single-excluded
Second Site now saves and restores the position and size of the Text Editor window
Changed the default value for Exhibits.Output Folder from "Same as output folder" to "Child of output folder"
Changed the identifier that SS uses as part of linked exhibit page names from the exhibit record number to the exhibit ID; this will provide more stable page names across builds. The change does not apply to TMG v4 databases, only to TMG v5+ projects
Changed possessive names that are links; the apostrophe-s is now part of the link
When changing from one TMG project to another, Second Site will attempt to honor the current Include / Exclude flag filter, if any; if the flag label is not present in the new project, Second Site will generate an error message when you attempt to make the site
When formatting citations and sources, Second Site will convert names to links if the source element uses the TMG capability of specifying someone in the project by TMG ID#; see the "Source Definition: General" topic in TMG's Help file for a description of entering a TMG ID# in place of a name
Changed the defaults for new SDF files: the default Format is now Narration (rather than Narrative) and Format.Add Parent Sentence now defaults to unchecked rather than checked
Renamed Stylesheets.System subsections that used the word "SubPage" to names that to not use that obsolete term; resequenced the Stylesheets.System subsections to make the progression a bit more logical
Changed the processing of the Link HRef parameter of the Custom Index User Item; if you use the Group feature and you supply a URL, the link will now open in the right-hand frame of Side by Side sites. If you use the Group feature and you do not supply a URL, the link will open in the left-hand frame of Side by Side sites.
Added the Add Target=Top parameter to Custom Index User Item Group feature
Changed the sentence formatter to adjust spacing around literal text when multiple variables are included in a conditional reference; the change should make SS more compatible with TMG
Changed tag list processing; the NarrativeChildren and FamilySectionNote tags are ignored by the Make Site process
Changed the Indented Format to improve the HTML
Made the Edit Heading and Edit Text windows resizable to facilitate reviewing and editing the text fields in those windows

Fixes

Fixed the Title Message property in the Multimedia Exhibit Strings section of the German-Standard.sdf file
Fixed the [CAP:] / [:CAP] printer code so that it works in sentences as well as in memos
Fixed the [FCAP:] / [:FCAP] printer code; Second Site does not honor that code, but now it suppresses the codes from appearing in the output
Fixed a sentence processing bug where a place preposition was omitted when the place data contained brackets
Improved the sentence formatting code that detects periods at the end of sentences to avoid adding a period following an abbreviated suffix like "Jr." that is part of a linked name
Added "+" (plus sign) as a URL character in Second Site's feature that detects URLs in sources
Fixed a bug where the Dates.Spouse Lifespan Option was not set properly in certain cases
Fixed a bug where citations were not shown for a tag when using a structured Format and the last column of output was empty because Detail Format was set to "Use Sentence" and the sentence produced no output
Changed the "Standard" and "Mark of the Web" Head scripts to resequence some of the HEAD element tags and avoid an issue with the Random Quote facility
Added "padding-top:1px" to the Sidebar and Extra sections for Layouts "1 Col LC Con Side-Xtra" and "1 Col LC Con Xtra-Side"; this fixes a problem where the Extra Section was not positioned properly when the Sidebar was empty
Fixed a bug where Exhibit Captions and Descriptions were sometimes processed twice by the text formatter which caused some subtle errors related to carriage returns and other special characters
Fixed a Picture User Item bug where images with uppercase characters in the filename would not appear properly when the site was published to a web host
Fixed a bug where text that appeared to the left of a marker in a Timeline Chart did not appear properly in most browsers
Fixed a bug where Group links did not work if the Custom Index flag was the last one in the list of flags
Fixed a bug where the Map Caption did not display properly when the Map's Item List was floated right
Fixed a bug where the Flag Filter for Maps and Calendars would include events incorrectly when P1 was set to zero and P2 was set to a valid TMG ID

Information for Theme and Format Authors

Removed padding parameters from Stylesheets.System.Chart Frame
Updated all Formats to support new FamilySectionNote processing
Changed the Narrative Format to honor more Format Section properties:
- Added support for the Format.Family Section property; prior to this version, the Narrative Format was hard-wired to show families with children only
- Added support for the Format.Repeat Marriage Tags property; prior to this version, the Family Section of the Narrative Format was hard-wired not to include Marriage tags
- In order to be consistent with prior results, when Second Site 3 reads a Second Site 2 SDF file, and the site uses the Narrative Format, Second Site sets Format.Family Section to For Spouses with Children and Format.Repeat Marriage Tags to Never
