+ Added new package dependency type, "embeds". This is a variant of the + "extends" package dependency type added in OpenACS 5.5.0. It allows one + to write embeddable packages, with scripts made visible in client packages + using URLs which include the embedded package's package key. An example + embeddable package might be a rewritten "attachments" package. The current + implementation requires a global instance be mounted, and client packages + generate urls to that global instance. Among other things, this leads to + the user navigating to the top-level subsite, losing any subsite theming + that might be associated with a community. Using "embeds", a rewritten + package would run in the client package's context, maintaining theming and + automatically associating attachments with the client package. +
+ Added global package parameters - parameters can now have scope "local" or "global", + with "local" being the default.. +
+ Fixes for ns_proxy handling +
+ Significant speedup for large sites +
