The major themes of release 2.6 were improved wysiwyg editing and page permissions.Jot Wiki
- Added:
the ability to widen permissions. In previous releases, a user would
need to have access to a parent page in order to be given access to a
child page. This didn't support the scenario where permissions needed
to be widened. For example, if a user wanted to restrict editing of WikiHome but allow some users to edit sub-pages. Page permissions can now be
accessed using the permissions button in the upper right of the page.
The button also acts as an indicator regarding page permissions.
- Added: per page level permissions. Permissions can be inherited from the parent or overridden at a specific page.
- Added: new streamlined look and feel
- Added:
favorites sidebar widget which allows a user to bookmark frequently
used pages in the wiki. Users can add and remove from their favorites
widget by clicking on the star to the right of a page title.
- Added: invite users sidebar widget
- Added: recently changed sidebar widget that shows last 5 files changed in the wiki
- Added: administration menu items and page tools were moved to the bottom of the page
- Added: the page lock warning now displays the user editing the page
- Added:
the version information is now displayed more prominently on the page
under the title. This includes last editor and last edit time so that a
user doesn't need to click into the version information to get this
information.
- Added: the comments section of the page is more defined and comments can be added without refreshing or leaving the page
- Added: the attachments section of the page is more defined and files can be added without refreshing or leaving the page
- Added:
edit/save/cancel buttons were moved to the right side of the page.
Create page is still on the left but out of the frame to indicate the
global nature of the action.
- Fixed: page titles now support special characters
- Fixed: improved document conversion from Microsoft Word
- Fixed:
the jot wiki was improperly encoding spaces as plus signs (+). It now
uses the correct encoding. This can cause problems on upgrade if there
are conflicting pages.
Jot Editor
The jot wysiwyg editor was
rewritten from the ground up to be much faster, responsive, and easy to
use. This makes for a much more reliable wysiwyg experience. Note that
we were not able to implement table editing in the 2.6 release but this
capability will be added back very soon.- Added: instant editing - when a user edits a page, the editor is swapped in quickly without reloading the page
- Added: undo/redo buttons
- Added: the editable area now automatically grows as you type. This eliminates double scroll bars.
- Added: warning if you navigate away from the page while editing
Jot Spreadsheets
- Added: jot tracker (standalone) was integrated into the wiki as an application in preparation for release 2.7 page types
