This release adds an ACL implementation called trustees, a new directory
layout for improved security, and support for anonymous users and
sorting of files. Existing users of version 1.x are encouraged to
upgrade to version 2; the included migration script will help them.
Revision management for check-ins has been fixed. The page is automatically reloaded on document check-out. The correct type is sent for CSS if not using a static CSS file. A script to add users using a remote finger server has been added.
This release supports PHP compiled without locale support (for older PHP4 versions and FreeBSD), has a fix for a major trustee bug, has support for an alternative mime.type, and has a new LDAP module.
Lots of small fixes were made. This pre-release version is ready for production, it just lacks polished documentation. Support for various whitespaces in trustee file and filenames was improved. POP3 auth works again. Browsers without Accept Language headers are now supported.
This development release is probably not ready for production yet, but contains new features, including a repository which is not in the Web server tree, an ACL implementation called trustee, and new documentation. It works with register_globals off in PHP.
