Notes

Blank Passwords

There is a possible compatibility regression from amb1684. SetAdminPassword() has been modified to remove any set password when given an empty string. Previously, a blank password ("") would force an admin to use "setinfo" to set an empty password, but this functionality was deemed unuseful and unintended. Blank passwords now remove any set password.

Moved Config Files

Two files were moved during the shift from beta to release. These files were introduced during the beta cycle and thus this modification is not considered a compatibility change. Nonetheless, there is a compatibility shim for this change.

• configs/dynamicmenu/adminmenu_grouping.txt is now configs/adminmenu_grouping.txt
• configs/dynamicmenu/menu.ini is now configs/adminmenu_custom.txt
• configs/dynamicmenu has been removed

Temporary compatibility is as follows: If any older file exists, it is loaded instead of the new file. If an old file cannot be found, the new file is loaded instead. This compatibility shim will be removed from all branches next release.

TODO

• Change menu.ini to "adminmenu_custom.txt" or something else a bit more conformant (shimming the old functionality).
  • Perhaps remove dynamicmenu folder entirely? It seems awkward to squirrel things in there, with adminmenu_sorting.txt applying to both.
  • Document the changes here for beta users.
  • Put comments in those files linking to the doc.
• Test and run the API feed on the site to make sure it collects the new natives.
• Add sections to this page for the new functionality.
• Update or remove signatures for amb1727.
• Verify and land a fix for amb1686.
