K2 v2.7.0 released

Доступна новая версия K2, CCK компонента Joomla - 2.7.0. По моим наблюдениям, работает вполне в штатном режиме, без заметных косяков. И обновление от old version 2.6.9 проходит без малейших проблем. Бакенд компонента претерпел существенные изменения, стал значительно более красивым и удобным.

Test, please. У кого какие впечатления?

Говорят что джумла быстро развивается, скоро будет реализованы дополнительные поля и иные фичи, и K2 станет ненужным и отомрет...

ну не думаю, что так уж сразу.

На данный момент список изменений выглядит весьма внушительным. Думаю, слухи о грядущей смерти проекта несколько преувеличены:

So what's been added, changed or updated in this new release in more detail?
Here's a list of the important things added, changed or updated in K2 v2.7.0.

BACKEND

• Newly redesigned responsive backend user interface.
• Added new batch operations modal for better & faster item re-organization. You copy or move items to a new category, assign to a new user, change permissions levels or even assign to a different language.
• Import articles process: Joomla article tags are now converted to K2 tags.
• Newly added options to override image gallery thumbnail dimensions, directly from item or category settings.
• Fixed media manager issues under Joomla 3.x
• Media manager now only uploads certain file types for stronger security.
• Added anonymous basic system statistics gathering. The data transmitted back to getk2.org over HTTPS is entirely anonymous and it represents usage statistics for software versions like K2 (obviously), Joomla, database and web server. A hash is used to separate clients and the data is transmitted once a month only. The process is done asynchonously so it will never slow down the admin, even for that split second when data is transmitted once a month. If you wish to disable this feature, you can do so in K2's Settings, under the "Advanced" tab. But we hope you won't as it will significantly help us make the right decisions for future K2 releases. All the metrics gathered are public metrics.getk2.org and the codebase used for the entire process will be open sourced within a couple of months.
• New dashboard icons
• Fixed smart search indexing issue when it was invoked from CLI.

FRONTEND

• Updated frontend HTML template overrides to be responsive-friendly as well. Exceptions may occur but they are easily managed.
• CSS codebase has been simplified and is now able to inherit the template's styling for common HTML elements. So overriding K2's CSS will now be an even simpler process.
• Frontend editing and any modals used are now also responsive.
• There is no requirement for Mootools anymore.
• New web font icons have replaced PNG icons.
• Performance (SQL) optimizations for the calendar functionality of the K2 Tools module.
• New content filter options for the K2 Content module, makes it even more versatile when it comes to content display. It is now possible to retrieve (filter) items based on users or tags (besides categories).
• Added Google reCAPTCHA version 2 integration for even better anti-spam protection
• Improved spam protection: All auto-generated K2 user pages (blogs) with no items in them are now being redirected to your site's home page to prevent spammers from abusing these pages. Spammers would previously create a new account and simply update their K2 user profile with spam content. They would then point to their user page in forums or elsewhere.
• It is now mandatory to set an anti-spam mechanism for comment writing. If you don't, K2 will kindly remind you to and block any comment submissions
• Added option to toggle Open Graph meta tags (in case you wish to use a 3rd party extension for that).
• Updated social buttons code for all three providers (Twitter, Facebook & Google+).
• Removed Community Builder, Josetta and AceACL integration.
• sh404SEF integration has been decoupled from K2 core and it will be released as a separate commercial plugin with new features in the coming days. This was very important for the integration of K2 with sh404SEF for a number of reasons: a) faster updates, inline with sh404SEF releases, b) new features can be easily added in without the need to update K2 entirely and c) K2 v2 and K2 v3 (upcoming) compatibility in a single package.

GENERAL

• Joomla 3.5 compatible.
• Improvements for Joomla 3.4.
• PHP 7 compatible.
• Still 100% compatible with Joomla 1.5 and 2.5.
• Many, many other bug fixes and improvements under the hood.

Помереть мабуть и не помрет, а вот на что я бы обратил внимание. Joomla 3.5 начнет собирать анонимную информацию, и K2 v. 2.7 тоже начинает собирать анонимную информацию.. чего это всем инфа так срочно понадобилась?

натурально, я выключил в Advanced (Дополнительно) это дело.

Да вроде полет нормальный. Впрочем, с K2 никогда особых траблов и не было.

Инфа в наше время стоит дорого, и всем надо хоть как-то жить.
