Check here for the history of changes made to metaPost. Because metaPost is released with all of the providers, the changes are shown below based on whether a change was made to the core publishing engine or to just one or more providers. This will help you quickly identify whether you need to upgrade to the latest version. Historical data will be added soon. Thanks Bruce R. for the great idea!
| Release Date | Change to Core | Change to Provider |
| 06/28/2008 | metaPost 1.2.4 We updated the code that managed the auto creation of tabs based on the metaPost tab markup to handle special cases. Simply install over the previous version. A fix to the auto footnote feature was added which solves an issue where the beginning paragraph tags were being removed thereby creating invalid HTML. | Blog Module Provider - Some summaries were incorrectly being returned as an excerpt rather than as the top half of a split post. Text/HTML Provider - HTML in the title was being encoded so that it was visible when the changes were published. |
| 09/02/2008 | metaPost 1.2.5
We updated the code to allow metaPost to work with the CTP of Windows Live Writer that is currently available. This required adding two new category related procedures and updating each of the existing providers to implement these new procedures.
The metaPost core was also updated to ensure that there was compatibility with the iFinity URL Master module. This fix should also ensure that metaPost installs and works in environments where the siteurls.config file has been secured and cannot be updated during installation.
| News Articles - The News Articles provider was updated to match recent changes in the module. Support was added for sending email messages to article approvers when an article is submitted for approval. Support has also been added to make use of new features such as the default categories feature recently added to News Articles.
Magic Content - Updates were made to the Magic Content provider to solve issues experienced while publishing content.
Updates to All Providers - Each of the providers was updated to match changes made to the IPublishable interface. These changes were required due to changes in Windows Live Writer in the CTP release of the next version of WLW.
New Providers - New providers have been added for the following DNN modules: Announcements, Help and Forum. The help files haven't been updated for these providers yet and instructional videos have not been created yet. More on this to come.

| 10/12/2008 | metaPost 1.2.6
Added code to allow for easier debugging of installation problems. | Blog Module - Fixed an issue regarding the syntax of aliases used with the (nolock) keyword. Some installations failed based on the syntax being used. This caused errors to occur during account creation.
Forum Module - Fixed an issue with aliases similar to the one described for the blog module.
New Articles - Changed the provider to support the new hierarchical categories support added to the News Articles module.
FAQ Module - Added proper Html encoding to ensure that HTML added through WLW isn't hidden.
Help Module - Updated the code to find the exact ModuleID for the Category module instead of relying on it being 1 more than the Help module which wasn't the case in some installations. |
| 11/04/2008 | metaPost 1.2.7
Updated the NewMediaObject method to remove the : character from a provider name. This was needed because of Engage: Publish.
Updated the GetPage and GetPost code to always look at description, mt_text_more, and mt_exerpt, not just the description.
Added debug code to GetRecentPosts and GetPages | Expandable Text/HTML - Sorted the entries by Title so they are easier to find in the Open dialog.
News Articles - Updated the NewItem code to take care of an issue with the reflection when calling GetArticleLink. Updated to work with the latest version of News Articles.
Changed the code in GetRecentItems to use Substring(PageText, 1, 2000) instead of just PageText which caused errors in SQL 2000. Special thanks to Fuji from Indyne for this help resolving this issue. |
