- Creating buckets not yet supported
- Some now-unused single-item-per-bucket code still needs to be removed
- Child attachments are not displayed in Zotero Commons pane
- Manual refreshing via bucket right-click (or a Firefox restart) is currently necessary after adding items
- Double-clicking bucket takes you to bucket page; double-clicking item takes you to named anchor
- Store one item per IA bucket, with attachments stored as objects
- Use proper mediatype field based on Zotero item type
- Commons list is now pulled dynamically based on RDF stored at IA, without need for corresponding local item (which may have been deleted, etc.)
- Once available, OCRed PDFs can be pulled down by right-clicking on Commons and selecting Refresh
- Downloaded OCRed PDFs are now named the same as the existing attachment, with "(OCR)" appended
- The relations table is used to link downloaded OCRed PDFs to the IA file, so the downloaded file can be renamed without triggering another download
- The Commons view is marked for automatic refresh after an item is uploaded
- Added some progress notifications, though more are probably needed
- Other things
Also:
- Added Zotero.File.getBinaryContents(file)
- Erase an item's relations when the item is deleted, and purge orphaned ones
- Zotero.URI.eraseByPathPrefix(prefix) no longer prepends 'http://zotero.org' (which has been moved to Zotero.URI.defaultPrefix)
- New function Zotero.URI.eraseByURI(prefix)
Known Issues:
- Slow (some IA changes should be able to speed it up)
- Identifier format is likely temporary
- Sometimes it stops during setTimeout() calls for no apparent reason whatsoever
- Didn't test items with multiple attachments
- Not sure if Commons view will auto-refresh if you switch to it before the upload is done
- IA translator not yet updated
- Deleting items not supported by IA
- Date Added/Date Modified don't show up properly in Zotero for Commons items
Also:
- Beginnings of custom item type/field support, though not intended for external use yet
- Zotero.Date.strToDate() now parses 'yesterday'/'today'/'tomorrow' and localized equivalents, allowing those strings to be used in fields such as 'Accessed'
- Cleaner display of dates without times in 'Accessed' field
- Item type menus in metadata pane, New drop-down, and advanced search window now sort by localized string
New methods:
- Zotero.CreatorTypes.itemTypeHasCreators(itemTypeID)
- Saved searches on item type should now use 'itemType' condition rather than 'itemTypeID'
- Show appropriate message when moving items to trash
- Unbind delete action from Backspace on Windows, where it's non-standard
- Fixed some inconsistencies in Cmd/Ctrl-Delete behavior -- Cmd-Delete will move item to trash without prompt in Library and move items to trash with a prompt in collection or search
API changes:
- Zotero.Items.erase(), Zotero.Item.erase(), and Zotero.ItemTreeView.deleteSelection() no longer takes eraseChildren parameter
- Group file sync via Zotero File Storage
- Split file syncing into separate modules for ZFS and WebDAV
- Dragging items between libraries copies child notes, snapshots/files, and links based on checkboxes for each (enabled by default) in the Zotero preferences
- Sync errors now trigger an exclamation/error icon separate from the sync icon, with a popup window displaying the error and an option to report it
- Various errors that could cause perpetual sync icon spinning now stop the sync properly
- Zotero.Utilities.md5(str) is now md5(strOrFile, base64)
- doPost(), doHead(), and retrieveSource() now takes a headers parameter instead of requestContentType
- doHead() can now accept an nsIURI (with login credentials), is a background request, and isn't cached
- When library access or file writing access is denied during sync, display a warning and then reset local group to server version
- Perform additional steps (e.g., removing local groups) when switching sync users to prevent errors
- Compare hash as well as mod time when checking for modified local files
- Don't trigger notifications when removing groups from the client
- Clear relation links to items in removed groups
- Zotero.Item.attachmentHash property to get file MD5
- importFromFile() now takes libraryID as a third parameter
- Zotero.Attachments.getNumFiles() returns the number of files in the attachment directory
- Zotero.Attachments.copyAttachmentToLibrary() copies an attachment item, including files, to another library
- Removed Zotero.File.getFileHash() in favor of updated Zotero.Utilities.md5()
- Zotero.File.copyDirectory(dir, newDir) copies all files from dir into newDir
- Preferences shuffling: OpenURL to Advanced, import/export character set options to Export, "Include URLs of paper articles in references" to Styles
- Other stuff I don't remember
Suffice it to say, this could use testing.
- dropping Zotero items into a bucket puts them in that IA bucket
- double clicking a bucket takes you to that IA bucket
In order to enable Zotero Commons:
1) Get an access key and secret key at http://www.archive.org/account/s3.php
2) Go to about:config
3) Search "commons" (no quotes)
4) Set "extensions.zotero.commons.enabled" to true
5) Enter your S3 access key into "extensions.zotero.commons.accessKey"
6) Enter your S3 secret key into "extensions.zotero.commons.secretKey"
7) Enter your buckets into "extensions.zotero.commons.buckets" as a comma separated list
Note: Steps 4-7 take effect in new windows
- Add Zotero.Libraries.isEditable(libraryID) (currently unused)
- Addresses #1444, Attachment arrow/count persists after delete, for items (problem probably remains for collections)
- Dragging PDF favicon or link or clicking Create New Item from Current Page when viewing a PDF creates a top-level PDF -- this is a temporary solution that allows "Retrieve PDF Metadata" to be used until it can be run automatically
- Allow PDF child snapshots to be dragged out of parents
- Dragging a link to a collection now creates parent item and child snapshot
- ZoteroPane.newItem(), addItemFromDocument(), addItemFromPage(), addItemFromURL(), and canEdit() now all take an optional row parameter
- Support for group libraries
- General support for multiple libraries of different types
- Streamlined sync support
- Using solely libraryID and key rather than itemID, and removed all itemID-changing code
- Combined two requests for increased performance and decreased server load
- Added warning on user account change
- Provide explicit error message on SSL failure
- Removed snapshot and link toolbar buttons and changed browser context menu options and drags to create parent items + snapshots
- Closes#786, Add numPages field
- Fixes#1063, Duplicate item with tags broken in Sync Preview
- Added better purging of deleted tags
- Added local user key before first sync
- Add clientDateModified to all objects for more flexibility in syncing
- Added new triples-based Relation object type, currently used to store links between items copied between local and group libraries
- Updated zotero.org translator for groups
- Additional trigger-based consistency checks
- Fixed broken URL drag in Firefox 3.5
- Disabled zeroconf menu option (no longer functional)
Developer-specific changes:
- Overhauled data layer
- Data object constructors no longer take arguments (return to 1.0-like API)
- Existing objects can be retrieved by setting id or library/key properties
- id/library/key must be set for new objects before other fields
- New methods:
- ZoteroPane.getSelectedLibraryID()
- ZoteroPane.getSelectedGroup(asID)
- ZoteroPane.addItemFromDocument(doc, itemType, saveSnapshot)
- ZoteroPane.addItemFromURL(url, itemType)
- ZoteroPane.canEdit()
- Zotero.CollectionTreeView.selectLibrary(libraryID)
- New Zotero.URI methods
- Changed methods
- Many data object methods now take a libraryID
- ZoteroPane.addAttachmentFromPage(link, itemID)
- Removed saveItem and saveAttachments parameters from Zotero.Translate constructor
- translate() now takes a libraryID, null for local library, or false to not save items (previously on constructor)
- saveAttachments is now a translate() parameter
- Zotero.flattenArguments() better handles passed objects
- Zotero.File.getFileHash() (not currently used)
- Disable unresponsive script warning during items list refresh
- Zotero.UnresponsiveScriptIndicator.disable() now returns true if it disables the indicator and false if it was already disabled
Adds handling for parent/child items in trash -- non-deleted context items will appear in gray, and "Restore to Library" and the delete keystrokes won't be available if any of those are selected
Like other search views, Select All will select only the deleted items
- Still experimental, but committing for testing
- Sync conflicts with deleted items aren't yet supported
Unrelated: deprecated ZoteroPane.deleteSelectedItem() in favor of more accurately named deleteSelectedItems()
- Inspired by Dan Chudnov's Python/MODS-based Zeroconf demo at THATcamp
- Enabled by extensions.zotero.zeroconf.enabled (off by default)
- Currently supports only OS X (tested on Leopard, not sure about earlier versions)
- Uses Apple's dns-sd and mDNS command-client clients, but should be able to be extended to other clients, though a native library would be far superior
- Discovery is on-demand for now via Actions menu ("Search for Shared Libraries")
- Includes rudimentary web server (code copied from integration.js) that serves items as sync XML -- no authentication yet!
- Only supports top-level items
- Remote libraries show up in left pane (under remote computer name, for now)
- Items can be dragged into collections (but not the library yet, for some reason)
- On first run, might cause a long pause and the "This file was downloaded from the Internet" message on Leopard -- can't manage to get around the quarantine for the script file that we need to access stdout from Firefox
- Needs a lot of work, and without a real JS (or otherwise Mozilla-native) Zeroconf library we can't do proper discovery without intermittent polling
- But it works, at least for me
Also includes some data/sync-layer changes that I needed along the way (and that we'll need for shared collections of any type)
Apologies for the massive (and, due to data_access.js splitting, difficult-to-follow) commit. Please note that external code that accesses the data layer may need to be tweaked for compatibility. Here's a comprehensive-as-possible changelog:
- Added server sync functionality (incomplete)
- Overhaul of data layer
- Split data_access.js into separate files (item.js, items.js, creator.js, etc.)
- Made creators and collections first-class objects, similar to items
- Constructors now take id as first parameter, e.g. new Zotero.Item(1234, 'book'), to allow explicit id setting and id changing
- Made various data layer operations (including attachment fields) require a save() rather than making direct DB changes
- Better handling of unsaved objects
- Item.setCreator() now takes creator objects instead of creator ids, and Item.save() will auto-save unsaved creators
- clone() now works on unsaved objects
- Newly created object instances are now disabled after save() to force refetch of globally accessible instance using Zotero.(Items|Creators|etc.).get()
- Added secondary lookup key to data objects
- Deprecated getID() and getItemType() methods in favor of .id and .itemTypeID properties
- toArray() deprecated in favor of serialize(), which has a somewhat modified format
- Added support for multiple creators with identical data -- currently unimplemented in interface and most of data layer
- Added Item.diff() for comparing item metadata
- Database changes
- Added SQLite triggers to enforce foreign key constraints
- Added Zotero.DB.transactionVacuum flag to run a VACUUM after a transaction
- Added Zotero.DB.transactionDate, .transactionDateTime, and transactionTimestamp to retrieve consistent timestamps for entire transaction
- Properly store 64-bit integers
- Set PRAGMA locking_mode=EXCLUSIVE on database
- Set SQLite page size to 4096 on new databases
- Set SQLite page cache to 8MB
- Do some database cleanup and integrity checking on migration from 1.0 branch
- Removed IF NOT EXISTS from userdata.sql CREATE statements -- userdata.sql is now processed only on DB initialization
- Removed itemNoteTitles table and moved titles into itemNotes
- Abstracted metadata edit box and note box into flexible XBL bindings with various modes, including read-only states
- Massive speed-up of item tree view
- Several fixes from 1.0 branch for Fx3 compatibility
- Added Notifier observer to log delete events for syncing
- Zotero.Utilities changes
- New methods getSQLDataType() and md5()
- Removed onError from Zotero.Utilities.HTTP.doGet()
- Don't display more than 1024 characters in doPost() debug output
- Don't display passwords in doPost() debug output
- Added Zotero.Notifier.untrigger() -- currently unused
- Added Zotero.reloadDataObjects() to reset all in-memory objects
- Added |chars| parameter to Zotero.randomString(len, chars)
- Added Zotero.Date.getUnixTimestamp() and Date.toUnixTimestamp(JSDate)
- Adjusted zotero-service.js to simplify file inclusion
Various things (such as tags) are temporarily broken.
If anyone's out there, now would be the time to test this.
Missing icons for the new types -- I could try to get some of those now, or we could just launch. Maybe we'll just launch. But really, might want to test this. Just sayin'.
