For example, -in this release the acs-subsite package version -is increased from 4.1 to 4.2 because significant changes were made. -On the other hand, a package as acs-messaging brings -only minor changes to this release and is therefore only labeled 4.1.1 (from 4.1). - -Similarly, the version of the ACS release will be increased according to -the quantity and significance of the changes made. -This release is designated as 4.2-beta because of there were significant -changes made since the previous (4.1.1) release. - 2.1. Features in ACS 4.2-beta. Enhanced subsite support. -This release scopes parties to -individual subsites, rather than the entire site. - Improved group support. -Group administration pages have -been made more general. They now can be used to administer parties (and persons) -rather than just groups. Group types now include a default join policy -('open', 'closed', or 'needs approval'). The group administration -pages have been made much faster. - Improved permissions. -Permissions also now take into account the status of -a member in a group (e.g. whether the membership is approved) when determining -the permissions for the member. -A new view -was added (ALL_OBJECT_PARTY_PRIVILEGE_MAP) which can greatly reduce the time -required to do permission checks. It is described in file -asc-packages/acs-kernel/sql/acs-permissions-create.sql. - Improved documentation. - Bug fixes. -See - -SDM for 4.2-beta -for a list. - 2.2.

Upgrade Instructions for ACS 4.2-beta. -Please make sure that you have fully upgraded your system to ACS 4.1.1 -before upgrading to ACS 4.2-beta. For instructions on how to upgrade to -4.1.1, please see the 4.1.1 release notes included in the 4.1.1 -distribution. In order to upgrade your server, you should: - Stop your server. Obtain the ACS 4.2-beta distribution from http://www.arsdigita.com/acs-repository -and replace all the files in your ACS 4.1.1 system. If you have -customized any of the ACS 4.1.1 files, please make sure that your work -is not lost when extracting the archive. The recommended approach in -this situation is use a local cvs repository for your project, -extract the tar.gz file to a temporary directory, then do a -cvs vendor import to your repository from a the extracted files. -Another approach is to -to update your files using CVS through the public -server -:pserver:anonymous@cvs.arsdigita:/usr/local/cvsroot -using the tag acs-4-2-beta-R20010307. -However getting the files by cvs using the -tag at arsdigita.com will not include the html documentation because the html -documentation is not stored in the arsdigita cvs repository but -instead is generated outside the repository (from xml files) when a -release is created. -For -further information on CVS, please consult CVS -and 4.0 Client Development. -Run the content-repository upgrade script: - - cd /youracsdir/packages/acs-content-repository/sql/upgrade - sqlplus user/password < upgrade-4.1-4.1.2.sql - -There may be a message saying "Error creating attribute view or trigger for acs_message_revision." If -so, ignore it. - -Restart your server. Login as a System Administrator and go to -/acs-admin/apm. Click Install -Packages and wait for the installer to load. A list of packages that need to be upgraded and -enabled will appear. Click on the Next button. A list of data model upgrade scripts will -appear. Unclick the data model upgrade script for ACS Content -Repository (file sql/upgrade/upgrade-4.1-4.1.2.sql). Leave the other checkboxes selected. -Click Install Packages and the upgrade will -proceed.
