Version 42 of the “Housekeeping” application (including the latest PHLEX artifacts) has been deployed to the demo instance.

Enjoy!

Couldn’t wait to improve… This version continues the re-design of the JavaScript client API started with version 40 and paving the way to some very wanted features on the to-do list

• seven (including security) bugs have been fixed
• a central AJAX receiver has been introduced that will step-by-step supersede the individual ones together with their respective JavaScript caller functions
• the performance of the home page has further been improved by dynamically loading the administration section
• the grouping unit of the performance chart on the dashboard can now be changed inline
• a new DokuWiki library enables spreading global searches to DokuWiki pages

For details please refer to the README file.

Version 41 is at least a 270° refactoring release of the Housekeeping web application while adding some new features

• 24 bugs have been fixed
• completed refactoring to coercive typing breaks compatibility with PHP 5, but makes code more robust and easier to maintain
• a performance chart has been added to the dashboard, which shows that this version rectifies most of the performance drawbacks introduced by new features of previous versions
• bar charts now auto-scale depending on the number of bars to display
• sliding overlay messages supersede the previously used modal ones
• the management of object selections has been reworked in order to be more user friendly
• another font is used that makes reading small text easier

For details please refer to the README file.

This version is intended to be deployed to the demo instance soon.

A new how-to has been added explaining how simple but effective it is to implement caller whitelists.

The contradiction of formatting sanitized HTML text is pretended. A new how-to explains the background of this advanced technique.
