We just posted Open-Realty 2.5.3. This update is primarily a bug fix release. We have also improved performance slightly and also added help links for all the admin pages. This release also solves some issues with TransparentMaps and the tabbed listing detail templates.

Now that this release is done, we will wrapping up our TransparentMaps 1.2.0 release which was marked as feature complete today and pasted all initial testing.. We have some final test to do and documentation to update still, however the release is pending and should be out on Monday Sept 29th.

Below are some of the changes in this release.

• FIXED: Corrected pcre.backtrace_limit issue with PHP 5.2.0 and higher and preg_replace/preg_match large template files
• FIXED: Fix bug in addon system, to prevent wrong tags from being called.
• FIXED: Fix Tabs when they run onto multiple rows, they would jump all around when you hovered over a tab
• FIXED: Display of permission and lang tags in the wysiwyg editors. This is related to bug/feature #832
• FIXED: Fixed validateForm to correctly test for required fields for array elements
• FIXED: Some server would incorrectly report some email address as invalid due to slow dns_any lookups.This is related to bug/feature #828
• FIXED: Handling of  link_edit_listing_url and link_edit_listing in search page result templates
• FIXED: Featured listing gracefully handle missing images.
• FIXED: Correct problem with .htaccess regex on newer apache installs.
• FIXED: Fixed new listing notification emails not being sent.
• FIXED: EGG solution tours can now be deleted.
• FIXED: removed & and changed to & for email links due to some email programs not handling urlencoded links correctly.
• FIXED: fixed bug with {image_thumb_#} and SEF URL’s This is related to bug/feature #821
• FIXED: Fixed problem with tabs causing TransparentMaps to display incorrectly.
• FIXED: save_remote_file was broken in the URL to the image contained a space and we were using get_file_contents.
• TEMPLATE: Lazuli Template - updated to latest release, no longer has <?xml tag
• TEMPLATE: Vertical Menu - update tab css to autosize like the admin tabs and to correctly display when multiple rows of tabs are present.
• Removed login check from the save search block in the next/prev template. If the end user doesn’t want it to display unless somebody is logged in they can add permission tags around the block/code however with the check in place it will never appear for anybody unless they are logged in and thus hurt the chances of getting people to register in the first place.
• Added Help link on all admin pages that link back to the wiki (links are customizable).
• Added {load_meta_keywords_raw} & {load_meta_description_raw} for use with the new method of placing the keywords and description on the page, so that the old tags remain for backwards compatiblity and don’t break people’s pages that don’t read the docs or new version notes
• Create indexes on agentformelements, vtour and userimages to speed up some queries.
• Updated Xinha to 0.95
