What's new in Socialtext 1.2.2

  • Team favorites. There's a navigation sidebar that can be seen by all users in the workspace. The page to be displayed in Team Favorites is selected by the workspace administrator.
  • Links to pages on other workspaces. Link from more private to more public spaces. Links obey permissions.
  • Reference to attachments. Simpler syntax to refer to attachments and included images on a page.
  • Reference to weblogs. Link to a weblog, in the current workspace or another workspace to which you have access.
  • Better Tables. Improved support for tables includes the ability to link from within table cells.
  • Pre-formatted text. For code samples, log files, other places you don't want punctuation to be interpreted as markup.
  • Bare links. Web links (http://) no longer require angle bracket markup.
  • Styled page components. Override default or system style sheets on a per page basis for presentations.
  • HTML in a page. Include HTML inline with wiki punctuation.
  • Formatter bugs fixed. New wiki punctuation code fixes bugs with nested markup, and page titles with punctuation This & That.

  • Bulleted lists need a space after the star * Bulleted item

Known issues

  • The method to "delete a page" is less obvious than it should be. To delete a page, select all of its text, delete the text, and save.
  • The ability to delete a category is not yet implemented.
  • Adding a file attachment does not update the page date in "All Pages".
  • You can't yet upload a file to serve as a workspace logo.
  • Not all RSS readers support password authentication for feed access.
  • There are reports of problems using the Safari web browser when used with multiple user logins on the same machine. A recommended workaround is to use a different browser, such as Mozilla or Firefox.
  • Links to images in SSL-enabled workspaces are not supported in some browsers including versions of Internet Explorer due to "mixed security model" browser errors. This can be fixed by relaxing security model settings in the browser.
  • No labels
