! {{page}} Tiki 21.0 was released in March 2020. It requires PHP 7.2, vs PHP 7.1 for ((Tiki20)), and at least MySQL version 5.5.3, which provides support for utf8mb4 encoding. It is a Long Term Support (LTS) version and will be supported until March 2025 as per ((tw:Versions|the Tiki lifecycle policy)) !

It also adds the necessary tests for this functionality. * tracker item permission links, so users can set up permissions on individual tracker items * extended permission page to show if the permissions you view are global, category based, parent object based or direct. New thing here is parent object permissions - so if you view a child objects permissions and are actually looking at parent's object, it says so and offers a link to go and edit the parent object's permissions (i.e. tracker ones) directly. Now, almost all of this work will be useless unless we offer Tiki users a way to manage permissions on the child level. I think that's the purpose of this task, right? I mean, up to now, there was no way of setting tracker item individual permissions, blog posts individual permissions, article individual permissions, calendar items individual permissions and so on. There is no such UI. We also don't have ability to set up individual file permissions but all file-related permissions work on the file gallery. This commit makes it possible to use parent-level permissions for all these entities but we still don't have UI to set those permissions. Furthermore, there are numerous places in Tiki where permissions are enforced and they all work on the parent-level - i.e. checking if a file could be downloaded actually checks if you have download permission on the file gallery file resides in. I plan to change this the following way: * anywhere a child permission is needed, it is checked first and then the parent one is used (e.g. download a file, view a blog post, edit an article, etc.) * anywhere a parent permission is needed, it is still checked on the parent level (e.g. upload a file in a gallery, add a blog post, etc.) * add Permission links to all Wrench icon/settings menu items for all the child entries - i.e. allow users to edit individual blog post, file, article, forum thread or calendar event permissions. * https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66976 * https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/67218 * https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/67206 * https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/67203 * https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/67200 !!!# List ordering At tiki-objectpermissions.php it is now possible to order the ((Permissions)) by modifying the way you want the tiki-objectpermissions_order.yml file. You can edit db/config/tiki-objectpermissions_order.yml and move the permission in the order you prefer. This is reserved for power users for now but it may soon help to improve Tiki UX by "better" organising the permissions or an option for several set distributed with the release. !!# Perspectives - sticky * [https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/68989|Sticky perspectives] !!# Profiles http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66243 (backported to 18.x) !!# Progressive Web App * Offline access via ((Progressive Web App)) !!# Roles * ((Roles)) !!# Scheduler * [https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/65787|Add a new scheduler tasks to notify admins of Tiki updates] * [https://profiles.tiki.org/Scheduler_Presets|Supports profiles] * http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66254 (backported to 18.x) * http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66255 (backported to 18.x) * http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66098 * http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66144 * http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66143 !!# Sessions * [https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/71475|Improvements in sessions when using mysql/memcached as storage locations] (Both mechanisms now have lock/unlock grants to avoid race conditions.) !!# Share https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66939 !!# Slideshow revamped * [http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66805|Jquery.s5 based tiki-slideshow.php replaced with more advanced Reveal.js library] * https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js * PDF export is done via ((mPDF)) !!# Spam protection improvements * Google ReCaptcha V2 has been upgraded to Google ReCaptcha 3 Tiki in its goal to be an ocean of several useful and secure features for the user, we have chosen to give you the opportunity to choose between different versions of spam security features. Which is why you can currently choose in the settings to activate the Google ReCaptcha 2 or 3 version. * How will reCaptcha V3 stop spam? The previous ReCaptcha (v2) worked because it tracked the user movement (scrolling, clicking) while the user solved the captcha (clicked on "I'm not a robot"). v3 does the same, but there is just no button to click on, google just "watches" the client and determines wether there is a human controlling the mouse on the other side. * What if a hacker spams the URLs on my site with an external tool without using the interface I provide? Google generates a token for the client when he passes the checks which you have to validate on the serverside. If someone doesn't pass the captcha (a robot), he doesnt have the token. * How to activate Google ReCaptcha V3 in Tiki? In control panel, press the "Security" feature, then the "Spam Protection" tab, Then go to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html Create a site, add your domain, and then select version 3 of google ReCaptcha, and validate. You will get two keys that are scrolled in Tiki respectively and then copy-paste and validate and here you are with version 3. * antibot captcha http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66919 http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66916 http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66503 !!# Stats Google Analytics and --Piwik-- [https://matomo.org/|Matomo Analytics]: Added a way to include or exclude groups. Use case: when a Tiki instance has a combined use case of a public website and a restricted Intranet, it's nice to have --Piwik-- Matomo and / or Google Analytics for anonymous visitors to see most popular pages, time on site, etc. But for logged in users, it's not so interesting and it skews the stats. http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/65976 !!# Templated Groups * ((Templated Groups)) !!# Themes Converted from Bootstrap 3 to 4 !!!# Theme Customizer "Style Guide Tool" renamed to "Theme Customizer" and converted to Bootstrap 4 !!!# Theme installer Experimental: https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/67603 !!!# Tikipedia theme - new {DIV(class=row)} {DIV(class=col-md-6)} The [http://demo.zukathemes.com/Tikipedia|Tikipedia] theme was added to the package following user requests.

The two-color site header background style is now implemented as child theme options. Alternative child themes for each color have solid-color (gradient) backgrounds for easier handling of color contrast between the site logo/title color and background. !!!# Removal of outdated themes Several themes were removed from the package because of dated or quirky appearance or close similarity to other themes. These themes may be provided as aftermarket installs on request. !!# Tiki Objects: maintainers and freshness * Starting with Wiki Pages, Tiki objects now can have maintainers, an update frequency and a freshness, i.e., how long ago it has been updated. Then, when an object becomes too old relative to its update frequency, Tiki will send emails to the maintainers reminding about the need to update it (console.php objects:notify-maintainers) * See: https://dev.tiki.org/Object-maintainers-and-freshness * http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/75224 See ((Object Maintainers and Freshness)) !!# Trackers !!!# Multi-currency * ((Currency Amount Tracker Field)) now supports multi-currency and exchange rates. !!!# Fix tracker change email notification to translate the status content to watcher language http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66325 (also backported to 18.x) !!!# Create a tracker and tabular format from csv file import http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66772 !!!# Save and comment This feature can be enabled per tracker and permits to add a comment when saving an edit for a tracker item.

See also ((PluginXMPP)) !# General upgrade notes Also, see the standard information about ((Upgrade|Upgrades)) in Tiki. Since version 19.x, Tiki uses [#utf8mb4|utf8mb4] storage and there is an upgrade script built in which will do this automatically for you when the database it updated. However if, for some reason, your database (as opposed ot the tables within it) is set to use utf8mb4 already, many of the old upgrade patches will fail. To avoid this make sure the database is set to use utf8 only. !# Dependencies * Most dependencies were upgraded to latest version: ((Composer)). Some notable ones: * Smarty was upgraded. We had been stuck on v3.1.21 for a long time due to template inheritance issues, but the current release is v3.1.32 and we need this for php7.1+ support: done in https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66842/ * [https://github.com/mpdf/mpdf/releases/tag/v7.1.0|mPDF 7.1] !# Cleanups http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66206 !!# Convert tracker attachments to files script http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/65966 (also backported to 18.x) !# Regressions !!# Removals Exact search with ElasticSearch ([https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/68378|added] in Tiki 18.3) was [https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/68599|removed]. !!!# Jison This experiment never got to viability http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66804 !!!# jQuery.s5 [https://github.com/robertleeplummerjr/jQuery.s5|jQuery.s5] is no longer updated, so it was replaced by the [http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66805|Reveal.js library] (which is pretty awesome!) !!!# Mods As of Tiki 19, ((Mods)) are completely obsolete.
