Clamshell: Release Notes

Release Notes

The current version of Clamshell is 0.6.8.

0.6.8

• Clamshell now authenticates using forms authentication by default rather than HTTP Digest, due to many server configurations appearing to break the Digest authentication model.
• New localisations in Italian and Spanish. Many thanks to monto84 and jmsancho.
• New option to use a default user if none specified -- see 'opt_user_default' in prefs.module.
• Fixed a bug in the per-user authentication mode chooser.
• Fixed bugs - issues 20, 21, 23, 25, 28.

0.6.7

• Added optional display of profile information on a user's home page - modify 'opt_profile_public_default' to change if default is on or off
• New localisation for French (thanks Damien Persohn!) and completed localisation into Spanish. A few phrases have been generated with Google Translate, and are likely to be imperfect. Please raise an issue on http://code.google.com/p/clamshell with suggested improvements.
• Added option to administer a user's profile directly by going to http://site/clamshell/?u=admin&admin=true.

0.6.6

• Improved support for short OpenIDs - some sites would use an OpenID of http://site/clamshell/clamshell.php?u=user even when entering the short form as an identifier. To activate, just set 'opt_short_openid' to TRUE in conf/prefs.module.
• Additional workaround when not using short IDs and websites incorrectly assume the absense of '?' in the OpenID URL.
• Much improved localisation support. You should now be able to completely change the language interface for Clamshell by translating the 'message.txt' and 'error.txt' files in the appropriate 'locale' subdirectory.
• A partial localisation into Spanish has been done, with many thanks to Henry Contreras.

0.6.5

• Fixed bugs preventing debugging from switching on properly, and being prompted for confirmation on local server.
• Added ability to enter and edit simple registration data according to http://openid.net/specs/openid-simple-registration-extension-1_1-01.html.

0.6.4

• Fixed code in check_authentication() so dumb mode now works correctly.
• Changed files/dirs from 'Clamshell' to 'clamshell'. Some systems were incorrectly normalizing OpenIDs to lower case with the result that the authentication page could not be found.
• Fixed bug where authentication would fail on systems with PHP set up as CGI (thanks arthur and robert!)
• Implemented per-site authentication
• Implemented confirmation on sites requesting an OpenID
• Added HTML forms-based authentication in addition to HTTP digest

0.6.3

• Administrators are now prompted to set up an admin password on first login.

0.6.2

• Users can now change password after creation.
• Removed requirement for /session directory. (Now uses PHP default directory for sessions.)
• Updated README documentation.

0.6.1

• Integrated admin console into the main page. Access the admin pages by adding "?admin=true" to the Clamshell URL, ie. http://server/Clamshell?admin=true. You will be prompted to authenticate - default is "admin" with password "admin".
• Currently, to modify the user designated as administrator, add a new user to the Admin console, then change the 'opt_user_admin' line in Clamshell.php.

0.6

• First public release.
• Add and delete users.
• Note that the admin interface is currently completely insecure. Add Apache password protection if you want to use this on a public network, or remove Admin.php from the server once users are set up.
