Textpattern 4.0.4 Updates
The feedback on 4.0.4 has been largely positive. And thanks to the testers we were able to have a really “polished” release. Nevertheless, some bugs have been found that affect a small number of sites. Here’s a quick overview and instructions on how to fix them:
- Blacklist-checking for comments can lead to false positives on some servers.
- Incorrect links are sometimes shown when using repeated file_download tags
- Warning Message in Live-Mode when Raw PHP tags are used. While there is an FAQ-item that explains why you really, really should stop using those, the warning message in live mode was not intended, and this bug has been fixed in the svn. This is a very good time to get yourself familiar with the proper way to use PHP code in templates (if you have to), or better yet how to write plugins.
We’re also currently cleaning up some other minor things and considering the possibility of packaging these as a 4.0.5 release.
No fix for the article_custom (with custom fields) bug?

Tom: no, not yet. It’s not a critical bug – its only effect is to trigger an error message when in Testing or Debug mode.

Hi, what about “output_form”? There is a bug too…

Well, what about it? Can you point to a forum thread, so we know what you are referring to. Thanks.

Yes, I can, I´m sorry. I have update to 4.0.4, output form can not be loaded.
I post bug to the forum.

So many wonderful improvements, you people are awesome.
I think there is a bug with article titles in 4.04, whereby, TXP removes whitespace between the last two words (or if there are only two words then between each word), adding this instead:  
For example, if the title of an article was “Ideal Candidate“, TXP 4.04 outputs “IdealCandidate“.
I just setup a new site where the problem is evident, but can’t provide a public URL yet b/c the site is not ready for the world. However, if any dev’s want to see, please email me.

That’s the no-widow functionality, you can turn it off completely in preferences, or on a tag by tag basis. The character that is insert is a non-breaking space, and it is inteded to prevent a single word wrapping to a new line.

Thank You for information how to solve   problem. It was really annoying…
— Michał · Oct 26, 04:42 PM · #
Ahh, thanks Sencer!
I remember reading about that feature, but totally forgot, and also somehow missed that line in the advanced prefs. Doh!

confused:
if wanting to keep up on eventual bugfixes for 4.0.4:
does it make sense to follow the dev timeline on changes or is there a danger to get up in mixed versions of crockery and the 4.0.4 release versions, when drawing new revisions from the timeline?
in other words: are there separate timelines for crockery and 4.0.4 bugfixes?

First to say that I am really happy with the new TXP, I apreciate all the hard work! Just one thing bugs me – don’t know if that’s a bug or intention – the comment preview now displaying below the article and comments. No one in forum had an answer. It’s a big problem not just for me as I noticed.

Thanks for the download_file fix. It was causing me huge amounts of stress. : )
