[SPT/CWIS] CWIS 1.4.1 Released

[Sonya Norris]

Hi Ed,
I'm the site administrator for http://www.mel.org, a site that runs on
CWIS. We've invested in php enhancements and a revamped interface that
incorporates a variety of resources besides Web site links. In
considering an upgrade, I wanted to ask how much of our customized
interface and php work would we lose, if any?  What files are involved
in the upgrade?

    Well, that's what I get for not double
    checking message formatting before pushing
    "Send".  Sorry for the garbling.  I hate GUI
    mail clients. :-)

    Anyway, 1.4.1 is now available and will
    hopefully address stumbling blocks that have
    come up for a few people.  Upgrading from 1.4.0
    to 1.4.1 should be smooth, but this is a beta
    version and we would very much appreciate
    specific feedback on any upgrade issues you
    run into, particularly with local customizations,
    so that we can try to avoid them in future
    releases and make the upgrade process more
    seamless.

    This is a CWIS-only version, however it can be
    used to update an SPT installation if you are
    willing to switch to the CWIS UI as your
    default interface and/or have some technical
    expertise to deal with interface issues that
    may arise with your local customizations to
    the SPT UI.  As discussed earlier, our plan is
    to eventually merge the SPT and CWIS packages
    into a single line under the CWIS name.

    This release requires a minimum PHP version
    of 4.1.0, which is a small jump from the previous
    minimum (4.0.6).  The MySQL requirements
    should not have changed, though we do recommend
    upgrading to MySQL 5.x as the MySQL people have
    officially discontinued support for the regular
    versions of MySQL 3.x and 4.x.  We are using
    PHP 5.1 and MySQL 5.0 for development at Scout.

    My thanks for your patience during the unusually
    long time it took for us to get this release out
    the door.

    Ed
