Added|Back to the table of contents

  • Display an insert for new versions on all pages in the private area for
    webmasters, and a button pointing to spip_loader if it is present.
  • Notify site webmasters by email when SPIP has been updated.
  • Improve the ergonomics of the “instituer” form (change of status of
    an editorial object, see above)
  • The site’s identity form can be used to configure the timezone used
  • New |balise_img_svg filter for inserting an image or SVG inline
    without knowing the format in advance
  • Add an option to find_all_in_path() to return all files matching a
    pattern
  • |propre filter which applies propre() & safehtml() (this allows
    de-escaping trusted code to be from the models templates)
  • Debugger: Display the number of occurrences and total time of template
    inclusions
  • The _DEBUG_MINIPRES constant, set to true, activates the display of a
    visible debug when a Minipage error occurs.
  • Pipeline get_spip_doc to manipulate the native result of the
    get_spip_doc() function.

Changes |Back to the table of contents

    (2 lines instead of 3, see above).
  • The quick creation menu is now a drop-down menu with explicit labels
    (see above)
  • More inclusive writing of certain formulations
  • Optimisation of loops with pagination, by forcing an automatic limit
    clause on them

    there is a {prefix}.svg file in the plug-in, it is used as the logo.
  • The extraire_balise() and extraire_balises() functions can handle
    nested tags.

Images|Back to the table of contents

The performance of the Image Filters plug-in has been significantly
optimised, with some image filters now up to 10 times faster thanks to the
use of PHP GD’s native functions.

  • A new filter, |image_oriente_selon_exif, to automatically
    re-orientate an image according to its exif.
  • Image filters such as |image_recadre re-orient the image according to
    the orientation exif
  • Optimisation of filters |image_aplatir, |image_renforcement,
    |image_flou, |image_sepia, |image_flip_vertical,
    |image_flip_horizontal, |image_nb, |image_gamma, |image_rotation.
  • Correction of crop parameter for |image_rotation.

Compatible plug-ins}

As soon as it is released, SPIP 4.3 will have around 700 compatible
plug-ins, which will make it easier to update.
