Announcing release 5.2

[Dan Huby]

We've just release version 5.2, available as usual from:

http://www.resourcespace.org/get

This issue contains several security updates so we're advising that those with existing installations upgrade as a matter of priority.

The significant developments are:

• Support for more dynamic forms using a new 'display_condition' metadata field property.
• Theme category sharing improvements - internal URL, emailing and subcategory sharing.
• Refining results from within an external share, allowing basic searching within external shares.
• Search filters now support the '!=' syntax, i.e. where a field DOES NOT contain certain keywords.
• Support for Internet Explorer 10 after resolving a few issues.
• Added the ability to specify a result size limit for smart collections. This allows, for example, a smart collection containing the 10 most recent resources matching a given search term. This can be useful for embedded slideshows.
• Added !empty search to help find resources not tagged on a specific field, such as '!emptycaption' or '!empty18'.
• New license manager plugin - allows licensing data to be recorded for each resource.
• The system will now force a password change when 'admin' is still using the default password.
• Security enhancements: 'user' session cookie no longer contains the username; session cookie is optionally randomised so less 'guessable'; session cookie has 'Secure' flag set (if https); session cookie has 'HTTPOnly' flag set to prevent probing via XSS.
• Several other bugs and security issues fixed.

Thanks to all who contributed.

Congrats to everyone, this is fantastic.

...and the BitRock folks have done a usually speedy job of releasing their packaged installers and cloud images:

Does this mean there’s hope for similar capability in searches performed through the web front end?

Yes, it could work in a similar way.

It's probably not too efficient as it runs a subquery returning resources that do match then excludes them from the results. It feels like there should be a more efficient way. Subqueries should really be avoided but personally I can't think of an improvement - any thoughts appreciated.
