Added: the global properties debounceIndexingDelay and debouncePublicationDelay which are the number of milliseconds to wait before indexing an object or updating a publication TOC respectively (both default to 500). This improves performance especially when saving multiple edits.

Modified: the database as follows:

  • Increased the size of Path and ParentPath fields in the URI table to VARCHAR(1000) to handle long URLs.

Modified: public access to restrict it to members only by default. Selecting "Comments & group accessible to: Public" in the group configuration or ticking "make public" when sharing a folder, now requires a user to sign in before gaining access. The public submission of comments is unchanged so doesn't require an account.

Servers requiring access without sign in can set publicEnable=non-member in the global.properties or use Simple site builder.
