<h3>Release Notes for SWS 4.0.1 (02/09/2001) </h3>
<br>
<b>New & Bug fixes</b>4
<ul>
<li> Upgraded content-revision type support. Applications registers the
'cr_revision_in_package_id' attribute with pot_service. The attribute specifies
a function that returns the package id for a revision. The function should
return the package instance that is referencing the revision. Note:
the function should check for a specific application's instance, not other
application instance. (i.e. file-storage application has a function
fs_cr_revision_content that takes one parameter, revision_id, and returns the
file-storage package instance that references the revision_id (if any)) </li>
<li> Removed all package dynamic sql, instead used native dynamic sql for
performance and readability issues. </li>
<li> Add search support for additional packages:
<ol>
<li> <i>news</i> - Add support for news article. Run the news-sws.sql.</li>
<li> <i>bboard</i> - Add support for bboard postings. Run bboard.sql and
put search-redirect.tcl (under site-wide-search/www dir) in the
bboard directory. </li>
<li> <i>file-storage</i> - Add support for file-storage files. Run
file-storage-sws.sql. </li>
</ol> </li>
<li> Installation: Modify population of acs_content and sws_search_contents
tables. Instead of looping through rows using cursors, it uses insert-select
statement.
</li>
<li> Internationalization: In im_convert function, modify the 'char' variable to
use 2 varchar size to support character sets that take up two bytes.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<b> Known Issues </b>
<ul>
<li> Internationalization characters are not searchable yet. Working on it. </li>
<li> Performance tunning needed for large traffic sites </li>
</ul>
