New and changed features

Telligent Community 5.6 and Telligent Enterprise 2.6 (both based on the Telligent Enterprise platform version 5.6) are our most rigorously tested releases yet.

Within this document, we use "Telligent Evolution" (the platform) as the term to represent both products for simplicity sake. Where enhancements or changes impact just one product, we call that out.

True to our commitment to delivering quality software and services, Telligent Evolution 5.6 addresses more than 760 customer requests. We focused on four key areas to improve quality and usability in this release:

  • Discovery
  • Content contribution
  • Administration
  • Platform extensibility and integration

We have also made a few changes that may impact the way your existing community or communities function. Consider these carefully before you upgrade. If you have any questions about these changes, please contact Telligent Support.

Area of Improvement
Description
Discovery

Optimize community discovery via search engines

  • Add a custom title and metadata to any page within the community
  • Search result pages marked as "no follow"
  • Tag pages marked as "no index, no follow"
  • Standardized capitalization of image URLs in CSS files
  • H1 tags on user profiles for groups and people pages
  • Content and applications not found return standardized 404 response codes

Improve how easily people can find other people and relevant content

  • One-click search from user profiles for people with similar interests, expertise, background, etc. (use new comma-delimited profile field type)
  • Copy and paste search terms into the type-ahead search function and navigate with your keyboard through search results
  • Search partial words and phrases
  • Show search in the right sidebar or in the center well
  • Get to results faster with optimized search indexing
  • Showcase external content via improved RSS feed displays with the same options you have available when you display internal blog posts
Content Contribution Files and videos
  • Large file support as long as size is within configured file quotas
  • Improved bulk file upload for high performance with progress indicators
  • Auto-detected height and width of videos ensures proper display
  • Preview images for YouTube videos enhances consumption

Wikis and all content entered via the content editor

  • Revert any wiki page to any previous version
  • Use MediaWiki markup to create internal and external links and mailtos
  • Easily paste content from external sources (e.g., Microsoft Word, Excel, PDF) into the community and maintain layout without annoying markup
  • Override browser-specific spell check to use editor-native spell check
  • Autosave to recover content after browser or CPU crash
  • Validate form entries as they're typed rather than when the final button is clicked
  • Improved text formatting specifically for IE6 and IE7

Profiles

  • For URL profile fields, no need to enter the http:// or https:// prefix
  • Easily manage favorites content from one location
Administration

Telligent Enterprise 2.6 only

  • Create LDAP-mapped user roles to manage user accounts
  • Add Active Directory group as member/manager/owner of a group

Telligent Community 5.6 only

  • Invite people who are not yet registered on the community to participate in a particular group. Their experience to join is streamlined.

Both products

  • Form groups faster with membership based on user roles
  • Quickly update the community site to promote popular information by copying relevant content pages
  • Reset any theme to "factory default"
  • Allow infinite links without triggering spam filters with configurable whitelisted URLs
  • In previous versions, tasks could be run in the Web process or as a separate service. In this release, most tasks should be executed in their own service, including any sites upgrading to 5.6 from previous versions.
Platform extensibility and integration

Extensiblity

  • Use the validation framework to validate form entries for any custom form widget
  • Export and share full theme packages that include CSS, JavaScript, image and other file types
  • Easily add custom JavaScript to every page (e.g., add a chat bar to every page)
  • Define IE6-specific CSS without impacting the performance using other browsers
  • Use over 20 new platform APIs
  • Add your own custom APIs

Email integration

  • File originators are automatically subscribed to email notifications of comments made on the file
  • Blog and forum email notifications are queued then sent for improved scalability
  • Posters of forum threads or replies via email are sent an automated email reply if they do not have permissions to post within the forum
  • Recipients of emails:
    • Can link directly to any file attachment from the email
    • Can link to any content via fully-qualified rather than local URLs

    You will find more enhancements and bug fixes related to the platform APIs in the subsequent sections of this article.

    Development and REST API changes

    The Telligent Evolution release 5.6 changes for the APIs and changes made in the code are listed in the Developer Space.

    Enhancements

    Telligent Community 5.5 and Telligent Enterprise 2.5 have newly included valuable enhancements that affect all audiences within your community.

    Issue ID Description
    26 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: We replaced the Edit/Delete text links in wiki comments with icons.
    34 We added an optimization task for Solr that defaults to running every Sunday and Wednesday at 3:00 a.m.
    86 Site sample data:  We added an activity message to new site sample data. Used the message "$admin created this Telligent Evolution site."
    117 We added support for searching partial words and phrases. For example, "sa" and "samp gr" will now match "Sample Group."
    143 Blogs:  We updated the configuration property names in Browse Blogs, Browse Forums, Browse Media Galleries, and Browse Wikis to be application-specific and more descriptive ("Show blog name," "Show blog group name," "Show post count," and "Show latest post" respectively.).
    191

    Customization, Customize, Blog: There were inconsistent permissions for customizing a blog page and group pages. To customize the dashboard of a group, a user needs the Group - Edit Group Settings permission. However, for a blog in the same group, a user needs Blog - Create Post instead of Blog - Edit Blog Settings. We also needed to add two new permissions: Group - Edit Group Theme and Blog - Edit Blog Theme. Those permissions control a user's ability to customize or change a group/blog theme. Blog authors automatically get Blog - Edit Blog Theme and group owners automatically get Group - Edit Group Theme.

    216 Widgets: Activity Message List widget configuration was updated to display a warning message if site activity logging is disabled. Although it's possible to remove or disable property settings, we do allow a user to configure the widget while waiting for an admin to enable activity logging.
    276 Control Panel: Group edit page: Upload group avatar dialog text changes: We changed "groups avatar" to "group's avatar" and changed "Use uploaded image" to "Upload and use image." The change to groups to make it group's impacts all place where ${groups_lowercase} is used.
    799 Forum moderation styling: The forum delete post page in Control Panel now has similar styles to the Moderate Post page.
    837 Evolution2 theme: Folder widget: There is now a confirmation dialog box when you try to delete a folder.
    849 When you remove Customize Dashboard permissions, users keep their customized dashboards. When users lose the Customize Dashboard permissions, their dashboard shows the default layout.
    850 We changed the error text on the Change Password form from saying only that something went wrong to saying that the passwords don't match.
    876 Wiki Compare widget: It is used only dynamically when a user selects two revisions to compare. It was removed from the list of selectable widgets and only appears on valid pages.
    877 User Banned widget: It is only used dynamically when a banned user logs on. The User Banned widget is no longer selectable by default as a widget to add to pages.
    912 We added an icon for third party-created messages.
    941 "Mark as answer" now has a response that says, "Did this answer the question?" for anyone with correct permissions and is not the thread author.
    951 Control Panel: We replaced Group drop-downs with group look-ups.
    1031 We updated the Core - Tagged Content List widget to only be available (outside of admin edit mode) when there are tags on the query string. Core - Search Results will currently render content on any page. The other core widgets already had contextual checking implemented.
    1228 Email tokens: Group messages:  We changed GroupID not set condition to use the regular status message emails.
    1449 Browse Applications widget: There were issues with application search. After entering a search string and the list of applications was filtered, sorting was not available; entering a second search string might have no effect; and there did not appear to be a way to clear search to get the full list back. We also needed to add a "clear x" such as in the Browse Groups drop-down in the Evolution2 theme to clear the search terms. The search should have been using the current user's permissions. We fixed these issues.
    1606 The Wikis - Create Edit Comment widget didn't display the wiki page. We updated the resource for the widget to "Widgets - Add Comment Form" to be consistent with other comment widgets.
    1676 Activity message loggers check whether the application is disabled site-wide (or on an individual basis) before creating a message.
    1687 Create User widget and User Settings widgets - "Sign in name" was changed to username.
    1692  Emails are no longer sent out for mirrored blog feeds if the post is written before the mirrored feed is created.
    1722 The From site video and Image insert dialog From site tab is renamed From site search.
    1737 We updated user profile settings to trim empty strings and not allow a string with spaces to be used as a display name.
    1755 Browse Media Galleries:  The browse application search box configuration text is updated to state that you need 3+ galleries for search.
    1775 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: When a search result is selected, pressing Enter navigates to that search result instead of the full search results listing page.
    1784 RESTv2: We added types as attributes to each node. Examples include type = int, guid, string, list of strings, etc. We updated the XML and JSON serializers to output types on the properties in the response if ShowTypes=true is in the request URL. Documented at http://telligent.com/community/developers/w/evolution/show-types-on-properties.aspx.
    1792 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: The Forum - Thread List fragment now has a page size setting. The global thread page size setting has been removed.
    1793 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: We renamed the Forum - Threads widget to Forum - Thread List and the Forum - Thread List widget to Forum - Display Thread.
    1805 RESTv2: We needed to add a SinceDate property to Activity/Status Messages List requests. The AfterDate property was added for status messages and activity messages, and tests were also added.
    1817 When capturing a forum thread to the wiki, the user display name is now used instead of the username.
    1842 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Forum -Links widget: The Moderate forum link now indicates when there are posts to be moderated.
    1915 TinyMCE now trims extra spaces at the end of an href.
    1935 We added a "pending friend requests" title/tooltip to the linked number after a person's name in upper-right corner.
    1947 RESTv2: We added an update endpoint for forum threads and forum replies and added tests.
    2001 We improved how forum quotations are handled by not having them render in emails and by formatting the quote properly.
    2016 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: The user is no longer required to enter a valid private email address on the User Settings page when he/she clicks Save.
    2051 RESTv2: We added endpoints for moderated forum threads and moderated forum replies; added tests, and updated the documentation.
    2095 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Forum - Links: We removed the Follow this Question link since it duplicated muting and subscription functions.
    2130 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Activity Status Message widget: Activity updating was removed from the widget everywhere except where found on the user profile Favorites and Friends page sidebars.
    2145 Control Panel: Membership Administration: The "Last l" date for banned users now reads "Last login attempt."
    2147 RESTv2: We updated the Create and Update User endpoints so that create did not take multiple users, and both create and update accepted the user properties as request properties, not as a complete user node.
    2191 Wherever there was a hard coded reference to enums, such as System.Enum.ToString(), there was a possible problem if a null byte was inserted through in the list of tags in the query string. It caused SQL to truncate. We updated all except  CommunityServer.Controls.ComparisonConditionBase.GetEqualToResult(Object, Object)  and CommunityServer.Components.CacheKey.SetKeyAndObject(CacheKeyAttribute, ArrayList, MemberInfo, Object) because they didn't have hard-coded references.
    2237 RESTv2 JavaScript console updates: We made it smarter and easier to use by adding a documentation link to v1 and v2 console and adding a drop-down list with endpoints to choose from so that you don't have to remember all the endpoints to the v2 console.
    2238 RESTv2: The Show Info endpoint has SiteName added.
    2240 RESTv2: The following additional fields were added to Forum Thread: AnswerCount, SuggestedAnswerCount, and Rating.
    2242 RESTv2: The GroupCount property was added to RestGroup.
    2245 RESTv2: The friends and followers endpoints were updated to list users alphabetically by display name.
    2308 Fiji theme: Blog - Post List widget: We updated the styling of the Blog - Post List widget in Fiji to use tabs for filtering.
    2333 The User profile group widget only shows links to search searchable profile fields in read-only mode.
    2334 The Profile field comma-delimited list linking no longer includes spaces between items. This is so that a site can add a field like Interests to user profiles, with the user filling in CSV and essentially self-tagging interests.
    2348 When Do not send email is selected for a blog, comment notifications don't show.
    2395 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: User Login widget: If a user is logged in and viewing the login widget, the "Sign In" form now displays a message to the effect that he/she is already logged in.
    2448

    The performance report email attachment has been updated. We also changed Results.txt to Results.csv and changed the headings as follows:

    • Min TTFB (ms)
    • Avg TTFB (ms)
    • Max TTFB (ms)
    • Min TTLB (ms)
    • Avg TTLB (ms)
    • Max TTLB (ms)
    • Warmup (sec)
    • Duration (sec)
    • Cooldown (sec)
    2449

    In a report email summary, the RPS value is rounded to the nearest whole number instead of just the top Longest Avg TTFB. The top five are ordered by slowness, and the following headings have been adjusted:

    • Longest Avg TTFB (ms)
    • Max Avg TTFB to Avg TTLB (ms)
    • Warmup (sec)
    • Duration (sec)
    • Cooldown (sec)
    2453 The Veoh file viewer regex has been updated to work correctly with the links on Veoh.com.
    2529 Widgets: Change Password: There is a success message when a user successfully changes a password.
    2531 The Site - Read profiles permission only displays when editing the permissions for the Everyone role. It was removed from the site permissions list. Read profiles permission has been added to the Registered Users role.
    2613 The REST !Console app has been restricted to the current site. It does not let a user specify the site URL. The base REST URL is filled in based on the console's URL.
    2614 The RESTv2 JavaScript console now remembers a user's request settings. The browser history, forward button, and back button can be used to navigate to each request. Documentation: http://telligent.com/community/developers/w/evolution/rest-v2-console-remembers-your-request-settings.aspx.
    2618 RESTv2 API group listings are now sorted by group name.
    2619 To retrieve the current Web site version for batchrun/db storage, the batchrun application gets the version number for the server where it is being tested in a resource identified in the batch.config file. Whatever result that request returns is considered the version number. The default page name versioninfo.aspx is included in all Web site directories that are tested.
    2620 The comparison report is updated. We also removed the Max Avg TTFB to Avg TTLB table from the report; it is not being replaced with any information.
    2621 Configuration information is saved for each batch run.
    2637 The announcement URL in Control Panel now uses the new Telligent.com URL.
    2641 In reports, we changed the text for an absence of data to say "There were no tests that performed slower in this batch."
    2660 CommunityServer.SecurityModules DateTime work: When substituting UtcNow for Now, we needed to verify in each case that the substitution was the right choice. We needed to update the code. This was fixed.
    2734 Wiki pages now can be retrieved by page key in addition to retrieving them by ID.
    2745 Create and Show blog post endpoints were added.
    2746 Update and Delete blog post endpoints were added.
    2747 Blog comment endpoints for Create and List were added.

    2759 A confirmation message is displayed when a friendship request is accepted.
    2770 In order for search to support the tag user profile field better, dynamic field support was added to Solr for a multi-field string and a service was added to create appropriate search field content and field names based on profile type.
    2776 The Manage Posts blog page now shows an option that asks, "Is this blog post published for users to see? Y/N".
    2781

    RESTv2: ContentID is added to activity messages.

    2792 We added a component for autosave that forces the browser to save the file.
    2801 The ability to privately email has been removed from general site settings.
    2802 We removed a user's ability to send mail to another user's private email address if he/she has the Site - Contact Members permission. (This site permission is given by default to the Admin and Moderator roles.)
    2806 Widget options: The currently selected item in a drop-down list is now highlighted in a way that makes it possible to distinguish it from a hover-over.
    2807 The HtmlScrubber has been updated to use a whitelist of CSS attributes/values defined in MarkUp/style in communityserver.config. The allowed attributes in the whitelist include display, clear, and position (only values static, relative, and absolute allowed).
    2817 There is no longer a "file type not valid" error in blogs when uploading or playing MPEGs.
    2840 The amount of data in an attachment that can be indexed by search is now limited. The  configurable MaxAttachmentTermCount setting defaults to 40,000 terms.
    2841 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Activity List widget: Extremely long text strings without a breaking space now wrap.
    2848 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: The Blog - Post Feedback Form widget has been renamed Blog - Add Comment Form for consistency with the rest of the application.
    2853 The CommunityServer-UserCookie and CommunityServer-LastVisitUpdated cookies have been removed and replaced by the user.LastLogin and user.LastActivity cookies. 
    2854 The CommunityServer-AutoLoginCookie has been removed so that a login is protected.
    2855 The SetCookieValueForm cookie has an HttpOnly property now, meaning that the login isn't retained by the browser.
    2870 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Page name margins are aligned correctly in the wiki hierarchy. The existence of a plus sign indicating child page(s) doesn't cause a line to indent. (When the plus is clicked, child page names do indent.)
    2874 Default text (or empty space) can be displayed in the group lookup text box.
    2876 Telligent.Licensing should not have reflected multiple assemblies; it should have only reflected the bare minimum, and not iterate the Base directory. This was fixed and now it only walks through specific assemblies, mainly CommunityServer.Components.
    2877 JQuery has been updated to 1.4.2, and the JQuery UI has been updated to 1.7.2. This allowed an issue with the Forums - Create Edit Post widget to be fixed.
    2878 Telligent.Licensing now just adds the known licenses.
    2879 Licenses for NNTP, FTP, and Graffiti are obsoleted from Telligent.Registration where appropriate.
    2883 REST: We changed the loading of REST routes from dynamic assy to declarative using Ninject, shortening the load time by two seconds.
    2902 Email addresses that are entered in the Settings Private Email field are validated before saving to prevent a taken email address from being saved.
    2905 If tags are not present for blog posts, the <tags> element renders empty instead of not being present.
    2907 Wiki Links widget: The Edit page and View history tabs have been changed to links.
    2909 There is now an option to revert a wiki page to the currently displayed revision from its history. There is a link on the page display to do this.
    2913 RESTv2: By default the REST console in the SDK now sets formatresponse=true on all requests done through the console. This was done to fix some attribute inconsistencies.
    2918

    RESTv2: Additional nodes were added to each response for messages, warnings, and errors as a workaround for issues throwing exceptions (such as if a user didn't have permissions to do something; if a blog post had a duplicate slug, or if the request did not contain a required parameter).For example, if activity messages were previously disabled at the site level and an invalid value was input, the user got a null activity message in the response with no explanation. The API now has error messages (such as "Activity Messages are disabled").

    In addition to adding info, warnings, and errors messages, the Activity Messages controller,  Status Messages controller, and Create Blog Post method of the Blog Post controller are  updated to use them. The documentation is updated at http://telligent.com/community/developers/w/evolution/info-warnings-and-errors.aspx.

    2953 Status updating has been removed from the User Status widget, so the widget is only used as a way to display the user's current status.
    2956 The Quick Post widget has a "Status Update only" mode.
    2957 RESTv2: As in 2918, the remaining controllers were updated to use info, warnings, and errors.
    2960 TinyMCE was upgraded to version 3.3.0, the JQuery-enabled version.
    2961 Input validation was added to the Create User widget.
    2962 In forum emails, the generic direction to visit the site for viewing attachments has been replaced with a link to go to the original post containing the attachment.
    2977 API keys are longer and have variable length between 10 and 32 characters.
    2979 An API key can be regenerated.
    2984 Previously, when a user having shared membership was deleted, this caused exceptions throughout the site. Now the user delete function does not fail if the user has already been deleted by a separate application using shared membership.
    2985 Previously, when a user having shared membership was renamed, this caused exceptions throughout the site. Now the user rename function does not fail if the user has already been deleted by a separate application using shared membership.
    2988 Removed changing the avatar; moved name and birthday to the Edit Profile page; moved the signature to the first tab of the Edit User page; moved the Conversation Settings and Email Options to the first tab; renamed the first tab Basic Options and the second tab Advanced Options.
    3006 In the mail gateway, the Enabled check box on the mail accounts dialog box is enabled by default.
    3013 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: User Status widget: There is a configuration option to allow this widget to display the accessing (i.e., current) user's status information or contextual (i.e., person whom the page is about) user status.
    3014 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Group membership invitation UX changes: Telligent Evolution previously only displayed the Add a member and Invite a member fields in-line with each other in the membership management page in groups. Additionally, it only had the ability to invite users through their email address, but didn't have a way to send a conversation or an email to an existing user. Now clicking on the Invite User link in the Group - Links widget automatically selects the Invite Members by Name tab when directing users to the members.aspx page.
    3055 Syntax for MediaWiki-type external links (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links) is now supported in the wiki: Text to display, http://www.example.org. Support has also been added for absolute URLs, mailto, and / page.
    3062 Blog videos are now displayed in the group RSS feed.
    3067 A preview image was added for all YouTube videos.
    3068 The correct height and width for a wide-screen YouTube video are now auto-detected, except in the case when this is not specified with the video. Then the video renders with an aspect ratio of 16:9 (such as used on youtube.com).
    3134 API key generation has been updated so that the key is longer and can be of variable lengths.
    3139

    Two new spam rules were added:

    • Links in wiki pages
    • Links in wiki comments
    They mirror the existing "Links in Blog Comments Rule." Ignore default site links is checked by default. The issue where wiki documents are falsely identified as spam because they have too many links is resolved by this fix.
    3140 Long strings in search result preview now wrap.
    3193 In IE7, clicking More Options in Members and Roles > Manage Users didn't show any working options. This has been fixed.
    3203 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: The search form renders correctly when placed in any sidebar layout.
    3209 Adding group pages was added to the group Web service API. A list endpoint for content pages for a group was created in 3491.
    3217 The feedback regex has been updated to 2048 characters for a URL.
    3219 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Media Gallery File List widget: Tabs were removed and clickable sorting was added to columns.
    3230 Control Panel: Content pages can now be copied by site or group administrators in the group and blog areas. 
    3256 When wiki pages are created or edited, their titles are validated to ensure they don't duplicate other pages.
    3266 A CurrentStatus property was  added to BasicRestUser so a user's current status will be available on all endpoints where he/she is displayed.
    3268 Join this group and Request to join links are now shown to anonymous users when attempting to view group content.
    3270 A browser is now forced to save the file instead of opening it in a window.
    3272 A problem with inserting a null byte in tags was resolved.
    3273 RouteRegistrar, IRegisterRoutes, and an abstract implementation of IRegisterRoutes, BaseRouteRegistrar, were moved out of REST to CommunityServer.Common.Updated references. Registering default routes was removed in RESTv2 since they are no longer used or needed. A new ninject config file for routes, RouteModule.config, was created.
    3274 User Settings page: Font Size was removed from the Advanced Options tab because it is no longer functional.
    3278 User Profile tabs: The Blogs tab has been renamed Blog Posts in order to clear up any confusion about the tab showing a list of blogs.
    3279 User Profiles: the Comments tab has been removed from the User Profile navigation widget; the comments page has been removed from user profiles, and the Comments widget itself has been removed.
    3287 RESTv2: The Users controller now has the delete users option.
    3291 The relevancy of search results has been improved. The Solr Minimum match setting is less aggressive, -25%, to filter out the more aggressive (and possibly less relevant) results.
    3316 RESTv2 has been updated so that if a user has another user's private email address, he/she can get access to that user record. RESTv1 is not being updated at this time.
    3347 The user file uploader dialog box has a progress indicator bar.
    3369 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Group - Links widget: There is a link for Favorite this group. The option is off by default.
    3376 Fiji theme: The bold font weight has been removed from a number of CSS classes in order to lighten the theme. The links on the sidebar are now no longer bold.
    3377 User Profile fields: URL-type fields don't require a user to type http://. Telligent Evolution automatically furnishes this HTML and makes the link live.
    3384 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Fiji wiki text styling has been migrated to both themes and all applications, including instances of TinyMCE. Styles apply to all user-defined-markup areas, such as posts for all applications and the Generic Content widget. 
    3406 Fiji theme: The active tab is white and the inactive tabs are grey. The are no longer bold.
    3415

    Admin bar: Edit mode: The wording of the drop-down has been changed from "edit" to "view" because the editing option in the admin bar is really more about selecting the desired current view, not necessarily for the one to be modified.

    3416 Tagged Content widget: A user can configure the widget to return results based on a particular tag(s) input by him or her instead of the contextual tags (which are the default).
    3436 Paging has been added to the Group Role Membership List widget.
    3452 Using HTML tags in names and descriptions has been disabled because it messed up formatting.
    3457 All URLs generated by Telligent Evolution, including those containing capitalized letters in keys in the database, are now generated as lowercase.
    3458 Any URL request containing capitalized letters now redirects to the lowercase equivalent.
    3468 RESTv2: A sitewide statuses list endpoint was added.
    3469 RESTv2:Activities can be filtered by activity type.
    3472 Blog advanced post: Formerly after a user selected Save as Draft, he/she was navigated away from the editor to the list of posts in the Control Panel for that blog. The published yes/no option button has been changed to Unpublish. When the post is currently published, the user is redirected to the blog post list after saving as a draft.
    3485 Control Panel: We consolidated "Restore to defaults" theme buttons (Restore Defaults, Restore Page Layouts on Site Theme Layout tab and Reset to Factory Defaults on Import/Export Layouts) have been consolidated into one button called Revert Theme with a dialog box. The other buttons were removed.
    3488 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Create Group does not try to revalidate a field if the field's value doesn't change. This corrects an issue where a validation message may change after the user leaves a field.
    3491 REST: List and Show endpoints were added for group.
    3494 RESTv2: JSON date output has been updated to ddThh:mm:ss.ss.
    3499 RESTv2: An optional parameter, MembershipType (members, owners, managers are current values) has bee added to List Group Members so that the results can be filtered just to members of that type.
    3502 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Applications Links widgets -  The Send to Friend link was changed to say Share this.
    3520 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: A private group banner notice has been added at the top of the group header.
    3521 Evolution and Fiji themes: Tagged Content list: there are three view type options.
    3527 Mail Gateway - A mailing list can't be saved if it's invalid.

    3627 Paging has been added to the licensing tool.
    3628 RESTv2: The Blog Post Show endpoint retrieves by post name (key) +blog ID instead of just by blog post ID. (The functionality was already there for wiki pages.)
    3630 RESTv2: Groups can be retrieved using the key + parentID or group path.
    3631 RESTv2: Show endpoints were added for applications that allow for retrieving a forum, blog, gallery, or wiki by ID. In the case of blog, gallery and wiki, it is retrieved by appkey and group ID.
    3658 RESTv2: A Show endpoint has been added for the root group.
    3780 When you retrieve application content such as blog posts, wiki pages, or media files, the Group ID is now also returned.

    3958 There is a new configuration option to enable email search for group members.
    3979 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: File upload: If the browser is behind FireFox version 3.6.x, the older HTML upload control is used. If not, the Flash/Silverlight/HTML5 upload control is used.

    4378 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: The WidgetBox widget has been removed
    4393 membership administration has been updated so that it is not possible to manually add a role mapped to an LDAP group.
    4395 We limited a role's editable properties if it is mapped to an LDAP group.

    675 Groups: Group contact requests: When you delete a contact request, it is removed from the contact request list.
    749 Forums: Blogs, wikis: Entering a URL for a wiki post/page that did not exist did not redirect to "Not found."The wiki now throws a page not found for pages that are not found, except in the case of creating a new page. Forums throw a post not found exception for post/thread IDs that do not exist.
    780

    URLS were being stripped by the editor in site-wide emails. Local URLs are now converted to full URLs to prevent this.

    792 Forum moderation: Paging support has been added for forum posts needing moderation.
    836 Evolution2: We updated the factory defaults for the user profiles Files and Activity tabs so that they don't show extra tabs and and are consistent with other tabs.

    1049 Odd delete wiki page usability: In Control Panel, if a marked a page as "delete," it appeared as visible but deleted. When a user navigated to the Web location of that post, he/she could see if it as an admin and it had a delete post option. An undelete form has been added for wiki pages with a link to undelete a page.
    1121 The favorites page defaults to using the detailed favorites list.

    1448 It is now possible to use an ampersand (&) in a tab name on the dashboard.
    1565

    Creating a media gallery post subscribes the user to comment notifications on the item if email is enabled. (Or the user can opt out of notifications using the new post form.)

    1642 "Object" instead of selected text was being inserted into a link dialog box. It was expected to see the selected text in the link text box. If the link there was replaced, a script error appeared. This has been fixed in another bug with a somewhat related subject.
    1647 Blog - Links widget: Enabling Email blog author didn't cause the option to display in the widget after it was saved. The blog email form now expects an email address to be supplied.
    1677

    1688 An anonymous user account cannot be logged into or impersonated.
    1697 404 codes are now set for not found exceptions.
    1703 Video file viewer: FireFox 3.5 on Windows 7 did not render Silverlight when Silverlight was enabled for viewing WMV videos. (However, it was being used in other browsers.) This was corrected
    1725 RESTv1: Create Group: Incorrectly set parent group ID: GroupCategoryInfo was supposed to be the parent group, but was not set to the correct parameter. This was fixed, as well as the issue where publicopen/closed was not being set correctly.

    1731

    Wiki notification: Links to uncreated pages: When a new page was created in the wiki and linked to a not-yet-created page, then the user who created it received an email about the page and clicked the link, there was an existing page name message. This was fixed.

    1734 Email notifications of posts with attached media and the "Please visit the site to view this media" message are now linked to the post/message.
    1741 The permissions - Media gallery - override validation didn't work for non-administrators. Now the Media Gallery - Override Validation permission causes file extensions, file quota, and file size quotas in Media Galleries to be ignored.
    1760 Media gallery title: Repeated the media gallery. The homepage for a media gallery no longer duplicates the gallery name in the page title.
    1762

    Member search now works from the second page when the search results return less than a pageful of data.

    1779

    You were able to view a background task taking data without SectionID. The Views background task checks for invalid/deleted posts to prevent SQL errors.

    1798  A group query that should only return the root group does not return all groups any more.
    1804 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: The links in a Tag Cloud were not scoped to current context. We corrected the Tag Cloud context detection on aggregated single application-type pages within groups.
    1821 Evolution2 theme: Dashboard: SEO error: H1 tags were not rendered on other tabs. OOTB configuration of Groups and People tabs did not include the Core Title widget, so there was not an H1 tag for those pages. The Title widget was added to Groups and People tabs for the OOTB Evolution2 theme configuration.
    1822 Evolution2 theme: Dashboard: IE6: Tabs resize based on the width of the text of the tab.
    1851 150% reported for wiki ratings: This was corrected to not exceed 100%.

    1905

    1945 Blogs with the same name are allowed in different groups.
    1955 Blog - Post List widget: "By" is not displayed without the author field.

    2023 It is now possible to change the URL of a mirrored blog feed after inputting it the first time.
    2072 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Forum - Thread widget: IE6: The moderation menu for forums now works in IE6.
    2075 Control Panel: Content Page management: The Content Page management windows now have a different message for no search results and they also show the current search term.
    2083 Media Gallery - Browse Media Galleries: The property used in browse widgets has been changed from from "Items to show before scrolling" to "Page size."
    2091

    Create User widget - You previously could not add a custom profile field to registration form. We corrected encoding/loading issues with user profile fields that solved this problem.

    2105 Search now uses the page title and URL instead of only the URL view content pages as well as others. Searching for "*" returns all results.
    2109 The Group Contact widget no longer prevents a user from joining/leaving a group.
    2112 Evolution2 theme: Dashboard:Tabs on the Evolution 2 dashboard have a character limit in IE6.
    2115 If a user clicked Import/Export in an opened window and browsed, but did not select the *.xml file type, and clicked Import, the message stated the user did not have a valid theme or *.xml file.The application and Control Panel both now have a friendly error message.
    2117 Evolution2 and Fiji themes: Search box: Search now detects whether multiple characters have been pasted into the field and pops up the search results.
    2180 User authorization had wrong behavior: When a user tried to join as an existing user, the application noticed the error. If the user tried to log in as an existing user again, the login was successful, but the registration form was displayed. The login page now goes to the dashboard.
    2181 Widget: Forum: The widget title styling has been updated to break text of very long strings.
    2184 Widget: Forums - Browse Forums: Clicking the favorite link no longer causes elements to move back and forth.
    2190 Widget: Forum - Thread: An admin did not have the privilege to save the widget. Placing the widget out of context will no longer cause an Access Denied error.
    2199 RESTv2: A user can no longer friend him- or herself. This action now throws the message, "Invalid friendship: requestorID and requesteeID are the same."
    2200 Creating a friendship now has a mandatory request friendship message.
    2205 Media gallery: Clearer error text was added to all quota entry fields.

    2214 Widget: Forum - Browse: The widget displays "No results could be found" whenever a search string contains invalid characters that result in an exception.
    2231 Wikis: Breadcrumbs: The revision number displayed in the breadcrumbs matches the label seen in the history list.
    2249 RESTv2: Adding status messages when they are disabled by the site or user now triggers a message stating the user has his/her status/activity messages disabled.
    2281 A specific datetime format was required for the packages.config file. This needed to be in an ISO format so the server didn't affect yyy-MM-dd. It was fixed by requiring the package date to be in yyyy-MM-dd format. An incorrect date string in one package will cause all packages to fail to load.
    2283 The task.config contained a bad reference to ServiceTaskModule: There is no such module in Telligent.Tasks, but there is one in Telligent.Tasks.Modules. This issue was fixed with a workaround. See the Telligent Community 5.5 and Telligent Enterprise 2.5 known issues.
    2301 When leaving a private unlisted group, a user no longer receives a "Group not found" message; instead, he/she is returned to the home page.

    2353 When opening an Attach file form in a blog, if an incorrect URL was input, there was a non-informative message. The file type not allowed error message was updated to apply to linked files as well.
