This beta release of WebGUI 7.9.4 contains fixes for Wiki, Spectre, Clipboard, Shop, Collaboration System, Inbox, Date Macro, Deactivate Account template and Map.

There are many new changes in this release, please read through the notes below very carefully.

Gotchas

     * Shop and Cart changes

     This release contains a rework of the shopping cart to make it faster to checkout.  Please review the following list of changes;

     * If no shipping address is entered for an item, it will not display the cart's shipping address.

     * Visitors no longer have address books.  To have an address book, users must log in.

     * Users are still, at this point, required to login before they can checkout.  The point where the user must be logged in has been moved back in the checkout process.  Before a user is allowed to enter in any address information, they must be logged in.

     * There are only two cart screens now.  The main cart, where address information is entered, and second screen where the summary of all charges (taxes, shipping, etc.) are summarized before the user pays.   Both screens are templatable.

     * The Cart will now work without javascript.  Javascript is used to make parts of the cart easier, and to automatically update the user's cart so they don't have to manually update it.

New Features

     * Wiki Categories

     The wiki keywords can now function as categories, helping to organize wiki content better.  In the Wiki properties, a set of top-level keywords may be defined.  Then, in the keyword search area, any user who is allowed to Administer the Wiki can define sub-keywords, for any keywords in the wiki.

     The front page and the keyword search templates have been extended to show lists of keywords and pages for wiki navigation.

     * Internationalized URLs

     WebGUI URLs have historically always been limited to ASCII characters.  This restriction has been removed.

     * New Cache Drivers

     A new experimental cache driver has been added to WebGUI, allowing for in-memory caches which can reduce cache lookup times and potentially provide higher performance.

     * New Styles and Style Picker

     Several new style have been added to the core, to make setting up new WebGUI sites easier.
