javascript_libs-0.1.2.tar.gz (sig)

Changes:

A large part of the code that is the part of the rule editing procedure has been rewritten, in order to accomodate for a more flexible way to add new types of rules. The special "SPAM rule" has been rewritten to comply with this scheme.
A new-style SPAM rule has been implemented. (Rule #11)
Split custom SPAM Sieve rule building to its own file (include/sieve_buildrule.10.inc.php); this allows for easier defining of customized rules, too.
A new, global Whitelist rule (Rule #12) has been implemented, for the SPAM rules to take advantage of.
New, "Custom Sieve Code" rule (Rule #13) has been implemented; this allows users to enter directly Sieve code snippets as a rule. This feature is still alpha / experimental, and needs a rework on the error handling, when there are parse errors. Feature contributed by Konstantinos Koukopoulos (kouk /at/ noc.uoa.gr)
Miscellaneous code movement and restructuring. The processing of user input has been moved to the rule classes; addspamrule.php has been replaced with the class that extends the edit class; an intermediate class for SPAM-rules has been implemented; better object consistency is followed.
UI: The "Add New Rule" buttons are now links, and are displayed both at the top and at the bottom of the rule table.
UI: Major rework in the UI of both the Rules Table and the Add New Rule / Edit Rule pages. The buttons and links have been rearranged for better usability, many messages have been changed, visual clues have been introduced, options and help texts are hidden with Javascript etc.
UI: If a vacation rule is active, then display a notice in the rules table page and upon logging in to Squirrelmail, that reminds the user. (Idea inspired with help by Joel Davis)
UI: Vacation options have been aligned properly; text has been changed accordingly.
Sieve: Vacation Subject is now supported.
New functionality: "Insert New Rule Here"
New functionality: "Move Rule to Position" (requires Javascript)
Avelsieve now highly recommends the use of javascript_libs plugin for some visual effects / UI improvements.
UI: Added new icons and used different ones, to improve usability. Icons are provided by Mark James' famfamfam.com.
UI: Added new icon "theme" based also on famfamfam.com. This theme is the default from now on.
UI: Removed unnecessary text / clutter from rules table page.
UI: The notify action options have been aligned in a table.
Added an LDAP Sieve storage backend, compatible with Sun Messaging Server's Sieve features. Kindly contributed by: Laurent Buset, Pascal Maes and Boris Maroutaeff of Universite catholique de Louvain.
The DO_Sieve_* backends should have a separate retrieve() method for retrieving the raw Sieve script. Currently, only the Managesieve backend has it.
Various phpdocumentor fixes.
Bugfix: When editing rule with redirect action, the 'keep' option was always checked. (Thanks to Jonathan Lumpkin).
Version check for Squirrelmail search integration is performed outside of plugin registration. Ensures compatibility with Squirrelmail CVS as of 2006-10-15 and Squirrelmail 1.5.2.
Hook registrations have been updated to be Squirrelmail-compatible (as of SM-1.5 SVN HEAD 2007-01-17). Thanks to Marc Groot Koerkamp!
Initial "configtest" module for Squirrelmail's configuration test.
Bugfix: The notify action is displayed only if the notify capability exists.
Bugfix: The notify method is displayed properly in the verbose rules table.
Bugfix: When displaying as "source", also display the disabled status.
Bugfix: Allow empty vacation :addresses field again. (Thanks to Satadru Pramanik)
Bugfix: Authorization login for Squirrelmail 1.5 CVS with authz plugin now works.
Moved Javascript logic to its own file, and cleaned up edit.php so that it will load the javascript separately when it is a popup window.
Added new helper / javascript functions in include/html_main.inc.php: js_toggle_display(), determineState(), stateCheckbox(), stateVisibility(), to help with javascript-enhanced UI.
New concept of a "unique" rule: this type of Sieve rule can only exist once in a Sieve script, because UI-wise it would not make sense to have a lot of them. For example, the new junk mail rule and the whitelist are such constructs.
New concept for "undeletable" rule. This cannot be deleted from the UI. The purpose is to allow more user-friendly junk mail or predefined rules. The new junk mail rule is such a rule.
The "tech" description of the rules was very similar to "terse", did not offer anything UI-wise but clutter and therefore has been removed completely.
More appropriate style for the "source" display of rules.
Gathered all CSS styles used, in include/styles.inc.php
New functionality for returning back to another page, after editing a rule. Useful for editing Junk Mail options, Whitelist, custom rules made from messages etc.
Junk Mail Options are accessible from folder "INBOX.Junk" or "Junk", as well as from Options Page.
Version and info functions have been adjusted for greater Squirrelmail-guidelines compliance.
Corrected header X-Mailing-List in the default select box for header matching. (Thanks to Jan Hauke Rahm)
Configuration files are now split on a per-customized-rule basis, making it a bit easier to upgrade avelsieve.
Minor comsetic changes in debug mode output, until a better error handling is available for the Data Object classes.
Remove unused / badly designed 'frontend' option from sieve actions classes.
Bugfix: When there are no capabilities to be "required", don't output an empty require [] line. ( Stephan Bosch)
Bugfix: in the ManageSieve library, ignore case for the available capabilities. ( Stephan Bosch)
Fixes in ManageSieve library with regard to deleting scripts and making avelsieve operational with Dovecot IMAP server, tickets #246, #247.
TLS option in ManageSieve can be explicitly disabled.
Allow the + (plus) character in email addresses field of forward action so that subaddressing is possible; thanks to Philipp Dreimann.
Fixed typo (regural -> regular)
Fixed typo in default config file (header X-MailingList became X-Mailing-List). Thanks to Debian package maintainer Jan Hauke Rahm.

All HTML markup is now valid HTML 4.01. Page display should work in Konqueror properly.
Small improvement in order to make the plugin usable for non-javascript users.

Bugfix: Typo in edit.php, prevented rule from being added dynamically (e.g. from Search Results or from Message View) when the Filters page had not been previously loaded.
Bugfix: Due to a programming error, the wrong capabilities were required in the Sieve script.
Bugfix: Capabilities check is performed correctly.
