[+] Added a new config variable, $default_name_display_name, to allow
the brief description to default to the user's display name.

assumed correct behaviour is that a policy of, for example, "2 weeks

[+] Added a new config setting, $measure_max_to_start_time, to allow max
book ahead times to be measured to the start rather than end time.
[The time interval is normally measured to the end time of the
booking. This is to prevent users cheating the system by booking a
very long slot with the start time just inside the limit and then
either not using the early part of the booking, or else editing it
down to what they actually need later. However this is not very
intuitive for users who might expect the measurement to be relative
to the start time.]

should be more than enough for this field. (Strictly speaking we
don't need really need utf8mb4, but it keeps tings simpler using it
throughout).

recognised. See SF Bugs #434.

logging in when using MySQL.
[+] Added 'last login' functionality to 'db' auth scheme.
[*] Added a note about how to include files from the config file. See SF
Support Requests #1649.
[*] Set the session.gc_maxlifetime to the same time as
$auth['session_php']['session_expire_time'] so that users aren't
logged out by the garbage collector before the session cookie is due
to expire.
[*] Upgraded PHPMailer to Version 5.2.27.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.7.1 (Sun Feb 11th 2018):
[*] Updated PHPMailer to use latest code (5.2.5+) from the 5.2-stable
branch. Note that MRBS cannot yet use PHPMailer Version 6.0+ because
that requires PHP 5.5 or later.
[*] Improved error reporting when PHP sessions aren't working. See SF
Support Requests #1364.

it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.7.0 (Thu Nov 16th 2017):
[-] Set the default value of $smtp_settings['secure'] to '', so that TLS
will not be attempted without the SMTP server advertising TLS support.
[-] A number of different changes to improve behaviour of browsers caching
MRBS resources which shouldn't be cached.
[*] Capitalised "goto" button. See SF Support Requests 1167.
[*] Moved MRBS's .htaccess file into 2 separate example .htaccess files
for different versions of Apache. The old .htaccess caused 500
errors with a stock Apache 2.4 configuration.
[-] Fixed bug when using custom themes. See SF Support Requests #1170.
[+] Added ability to authenticate with either username or email address,
if the authentication scheme supports it.
[+] Added Server Software information to the Help information.

[*] Removed "ExpiresActive Off" directive as it is no longer necessary
given other fixes and could interfere with a site's caching policy.
See SF Bugs #379.
[*] Eliminated $locale_warning global and moved reporting of locale
setting problems to the error mechanism rather than the browser.
[*] Improved localisation, especially for French, colons are no longer
hard-coded in HTML and instead populated by CSS.
[*] Removed the supplementary information in the 'fulldescription' text
string. It didn't help and indeed was misleading as things like the
type have their own form field.
[-] Stripped out HTML tags and entities from validation messages. See SF
Bugs #380.
[*] Added a warning symbol on the edit_entry page instead of a green
tick when an admin makes a booking that would normally violate one
or more of the policy rules. See SF Support Requests 1171.
[*] Updated Portuguese translation. Thanks to Paulo Resende.
[*] Added even more options for configuring PHPMailer TLS settings.
[*] Set PHP's default charset.
[*] Changed the way that period names are defined so that they can now
contain special chars and are put through htmlspecialchars() before
being output to the browser. (Previously the site administrator had
to encode special chars).
[-] Fixed a bug with the display of entries starting at 0000 in the
month view. See SF Support Requests #1186.
[*] Added Swedish translations. Thanks to Lars Olsson.
[*] Added some CSS classes to the minicals.
[-] Excluded seconds from the default representation of start and end
time. See SF Bugs #381.

allowing for the possibility that weekdays are not the same as
working days.
[*] Restricted passing of username and password to POST variables as a
security measure. See SF Feature Requests #351.
[-] Changed access level for check_slot_ajax to match edit_entry.
[*] Made the default access level 1 for the report, search and
view_entry pages to prevent usernames being revealed. See SF Feature
Requests #351.

[*] Improved word breaking slightly on webkit browsers. See SF Support
Requests #951 and #1200.

the day not to show in the day and week views. See SF Support Requests 1207.
[*] Made the DB connection DSN more strictly correct, and also support
setting $db_host to "" (or unset), to indicate you'd like
MRBS to use the default Unix domain socket instead of TCP. See
[bugs:#384]. On Linux at least, this works for both MySQL and
PostgreSQL.
[-] Fixed database transaction problems. See SF Support Requests #977.
[*] Altered transaction methods to use PDO transaction methods.
[*] Updated Spanish language file. Thanks to JLMartin.
[+] Added the ability to have different period names in each area. See
SF Support Requests 1214.

Support Requests #1290.

the project by SySS GmbH, including XSS, CSRF protection and session
fixation.

[*] Improved error reporting around database mutexes.
[*] All forms now only accept POST submission.
[*] Implemented a new set of Form classes, though not all sections of
MRBS are using them yet.
[*] Added CSRF protection throughout MRBS.
[*] Added a new config setting, $auth['allow_custom_html'], to determine whether
custom HTML is allowed in rooms/areas. This defaults to off, so if you
are using this feature and upgrade to 1.6.2 you will need to set
the variable to true in your config.inc.php.
[*] Dropped support for Internet Explorer 9 and lower.
[-] Implemented a fix for when "All day" is checked and the area "eveningends"
is past midnight. See SF Patches #62.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[-] Fixed bug in cookie session scheme causing getUserName() to return ''
instead of null in the case of a user not being logged in when.

Version 1.6.0 (Sat Feb 11th 2017):
[*] Decreased cache expiry time for timezone files, to allow for more rapid
updated for timezone changes.
[*] Caching added into LDAP authentication to improve performance, see SF bugs
#335
[-] Fixed bug with unquoted column names. See SF Support Requests #816.

[*] Improved debugging in auth_ldap a bit, to show errors from the ldap
extension.

form if the default duration is not an integral number of slots
[-] Moved the PHP version check to happen earlier, otherwise MRBS will
fail with obscure error messages if the PHP version is too low. See
SF Bugs #337.
[-] Fixed bug in reports: the case sensitivity of types was not being
recognised (see SF Support Requests #776)
[-] Fixed problem with day links in the wek view. See SF bugs #339
[-] Fixed bug that caused MRBS to miss conflicts with single entries
when modifying a series. See SF Bugs #338.

properly if an existing series is being modified and there is at
least one single entry in the same interval.
[-] Fixed bug whereby the conflict checker wasn't firing when the repeat
end date changed
[*] Changed MRBS default behaviour to be *not* to use persistent
database connections, as they can cause problems with transactions
and locks. At the same time changed the config variable to be
$db_persist instead of $db_nopersist.

[*] Added ablility to read user access level from external database to
db_ext auth scheme.[Markus Gilli]
[-] Fixed bug in CSV reports when running on Windows (see SF Support
Requests 860)
[-] Fixed bug causing a booking to be made even if the specified repeat
results in no bookings (eg a weekly repeat for Thursdays starting
and ending on the same day, which isn't a Thursday)
[*] Changed the behaviour of MRBS when making a repeat booking that
results in just a single entry (for example a daily repeat starting
and ending on the same day). Previously this was treated as a
special case and converted into a single entry. However it seems
more logical to treat it as a series with just one entry. This
enables the repeat characteristics to be edited in the future.
[+] Allowed the type field to be mandatory (see SF Support Requests 876)
[-] Fixed problem whereby the locale could not be set when automatic
language changing was disabled and no override locale was set. See
SF Support Requests #891.

database during a database upgrade. If the site admin wants errors to
go to the browser, eg for debugging, then they should.
[-] Fixed datalists so that empty strings aren't presented as options

have select_options or datalist_options defined. See SF Support
Requests #909

width columns in the calendar views. See SF Support Requests #951.
[*] Added '' as an option for $smtp_settings['secure']. See SF Support
Requests #954.
[-] Fixed problem with week number link in mincals. See SF Bugs #357.
[*] Modified show_colour_key() so that the colour key is not shown if
there are fewer than two types. (See SF Support Requests #1019)
[*] Improved behaviour of MRBS when only one type is defined, so that
type options are not shown.
[-] Fixed problem with Chrome not showing datalist options (see SF bugs
#360).
[+] Added config options to allow users (or just admins) to specify that
an email shouldn't be sent when making a booking. Useful if you are
just making a minor change or are creating a whole lot of bookings
at the beginning of a term or season. See SF Support requests #974.
[-] Fixed problem with the endtime selector not having a selected value
in the very rare case that the area's morningstarts or resolution is
changed in between refreshes of the browser on the edit_entry page.
See also SF Support Requests #983.
[-] Fixed problem with Bulk Delete on the report page. See SF Bugs #361.
[-] Fixed problem with Schedule and Policy tabs not appearing. See SF

#1064
[*] Updated German translations from Andrea Beranek
[*] A few improvements to checklang.php

Requests #1078. Also fixed another bug at the same time - there was
no border around bookings in the month view on printing.
[*] Changed the behaviour of the printed month view, getting rid of
horizontal and vertical scrollbars. Instead, horizontal overflow is
hidden and the table cell expands to accommodate vertical overflow.

using the 'both' option for monthly listings and (b) listings
wrapping when using 'slot' or 'description'.

the maximum duration
[*] Added a new option to disable "Opportunistic TLS" in PHPMailer.
[-] Fixed bug causing bookings to be shown as private when they weren't.

in an attempt to prevent duplicate bookings when using persistent
database connections. See SF bugs #314

onto no. See also SF Support Requests #649.
[-] Fixed language auto-selection for locales which use comma as the

weekdays of the month when making monthly recurring bookings.
These are strict interpretations and will result in no bookings

handler (ie the user is about to start a resize).
[*] Improved performance of drag selection, especially with large
tables.
[-] Made sure that page refresh isn't restarted while we are in the
middle of a drag selection when we pass over the handles for
resizable bookings.
[-] Fixed bug causing incorrect checking of resolution and number of
slots when the booking day stretches past midnight.
[-] Fixed some label problems on the report page. See SF Bugs #265.
[-] Fixed bug resulting in no end time options being offered if there
is only one enabled area.

[*] Improved language detection code.
[-] Fixed JavaScript error produced if you have a mandatory textarea
field. Thanks to Neil Brown. See SF ID 3472380

with long bookings.
[-] Fixed a number of user interaction problems.
[-] Fixed auth_ldap configuration variable handling, thanks to Kevan
Carstensen.
[-] DataTables AJAX requests now use relative URLs in order to stop
cross-domain requests.
[+] Added ability to import iCalendar (.ics) files.
[*] Updated Turkish translation from Ahmet YILDIZ.
[*] Updated German translation - thanks to JWiemann.
[+] Introduced the $vocab_override config variable, allowing MRBS
text strings to be customised without editing the lang files.
Thanks to dwpoon.
[-] Improved SQL escaping so that it uses the database escaping
routines and not PHP's addslashes() function. Thanks to
Henry S. Thompson.
[-] Fixed bug which meant that the correct timezone wasn't
necessarily being used when dragging a booking.
[-] Fixed performance issue when using LDAP authentication and HTTP
sessions. Thanks to dwpoon.
[-] Fixed bug causing an entry of '0' in a mandatory custom field to

in the future. You can set limits globally as well per area,
enabling you to set policies of the sort "Max 2 bookings per week
in this area and max 5 bookings per week across the system". Note
also that setting 0 bookings per period for an area is a way of
stopping ordinary users from making bookings in a particular
area.
[-] Fixed bug that caused the ticks and crosses on the edit_entry
page not to appear properly in some browsers (eg Chrome and IE8)
on some systems.
[+] Added Portuguese Brazilian translation - thanks to Gleise S. O.
Teixeira
[+] Added Hungarian translation. Thanks to Gergely Kiss.

[*] Tidied the MRBS distribution, so that different types of files
live in different directories.
[*] Updated Norwegian translation. Thanks to Thomas Haukland.
[+] Added an array of substitute languages, for example to substitute
'no' for 'nb-NO'.

performance with large numbers of users
[-] Fixed bug on pending page where only a maximum of 10 members of a

[*] Updated Czech translation. Thanks to Ondřej Kopka.
[*] Implemented page refresh in the day and week views using Ajax
requests if possible instead of through a <meta> tag.
[*] Improved Javascript code correctness.
[-] Improved error handling when updating VTIMEZONE definitions. Now
if MRBS is unable to download a new definition from the web, as
will happen on sites that do not have external internet access,
the last_updated field is updated anyway so that MRBS does not
attempt to retry for another 28 days.
[*] Kept track of how many Ajax requests are outstanding on the
server so that we don't swamp the server with requests if for
some reason the server is taking a long time to process them.
[-] Made utf8_bytecount() PHP4-safe.
[-] Fixed problem with users being unable to login when MRBS is
running on IIS
[-] Fixed sorting and styling of integer custom fields in
edit_users.php
[-] Fixed a bug in 'db' and 'db_ext' authentication schemes when
using MySQL whereby a login was validated successfully even if
the username contained trailing spaces. This then caused problems
subsequently when comparing the creator of a booking with the
user. See SF Bugs #245.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.4.8 (Sun Jan 01 22:00:00 GMT 2012):
[-] Fixed bug that meant that '0' was treated as an invalid search
string.
[-] Fixed auth_ext authentication for users or passwords that contain
a $ character followed by a number.
[*] Allowed entries to be deleted even if they are longer than the
max_duration or beyond the max_book_ahead date. Following
suggestion from Marco Tedaldi.
[*] Made the week numbers and months in the mini calendars into
links, following a suggestion by Marco Tedaldi.
[-] iCalendar notifications expanded to allow more applications to
understand times/time zone information. See SF tracker 3324122.

[-] Corrected a minor error in edit_entry Javascript, thanks to Guenter
Boehm.
[*] Improved SQL error reporting.
[*] Made the date range for the date selectors a config variable.

bookings when making repeat bookings.
[+] Added a "Skip and book" button to the page listing conflicting
entries if you try and make a repeat booking where some of the
entries have conflicts.
[*] Upgraded jQuery UI from version 1.8.11 to 1.8.16.
[+] Added a config setting to disable email sending, overriding any
other settings. Useful for testing MRBS without having to worry
about sending mail to people not expecting it.
[*] Added a Back button to the edit_entry page.
[*] Added a list of dates of repeat bookings to email notifications.
[-] Fixed bug whereby email notifications would not be sent if MRBS
failed to find an address for those on the "To" line but there
addresses on the "Cc" line.
[*] Improved the message in email notifications for a list of deleted
repeat bookings
[*] Removed the privacy radio buttons from the Report form when the
user is not logged in as they're then redundant because only the
"user" will only be able to see public bookings. Thanks to a
suggestion from Jörg Wiemann in SF Tracker ID: 3405402
[*] Added an Ajax capability to the edit_entry form so that a booking
is checked for scheduling and policy conflicts as the booking
parameters are changed.
[-] Fixed bug causing disabled rooms to be displayed incorrectly in
view_entry.php
[*] Converted language FAQs to UTF-8.
[*] Added a timer so that a potential booking on the edit_entry form
can be periodically rechecked for validity, in case someone else
makes or releases a booking while the page is open. Can be
disabled and the interval set by means of a config variable.
[*] Revamped the LDAP authentication scheme somewhat. You can now
specify most of the configuration parameters as arrays, so that
you can have multiple servers or multiple base DNs that are
configured in different ways.
Additionally, you can now determine whether a user is an
administrator by defining LDAP configuration parameters:
$ldap_group_member_attrib and $ldap_admin_group_dn. See
systemdefaults.inc.php for details.
[-] Set PostgreSQL client encoding to UTF8. Thanks to Andreas Lange
for the patch (SF ID 3413080)
[*] Added a Back button to the Add/Edit users form.
[*] Changed the report from method from "get" to "post" to make it
possible to accommodate complicated search criteria, especially
with many custom fields
[+] Added the ability to run report.php from the command line (useful
for example for setting up reports as cron jobs). Provided a
manual page at help_report.html. The ability to run from the
command line is disabled by default in systemdefaults.inc.php and
has to be deliberately enabled.
[*] Added a tabbed dialog that can be displayed to give more details
of schedule and policy checks on the edit_entry page. This has
the advantage that it contains clickable links to conflicting
bookings, which the tooltips cannot.
[*] Added a sanity check to check that 'private_override' is one of
the three valid values in case the database has somehow got
messed up.
[*] Stopped ordinary users seeing the disabled/enabled status of a
room.
[+] The
report results, search results, users list, rooms list and
pending list are now sortable, searchable tables. In addition
admins can do bulk deletes of the entries returned in a report.
[*] Added Russian translation supplied by Capitan Nemo.
[*] Improved the performance of the day/week/month views, especially
the day view in IE with large tables (many rooms and many
periods/time slots).
[*] Updated installation instructions for a PostgreSQL database to
create a database with UTF8 encoding. See SF ID: 3413080.
[*] Updated German translation, thanks to Jörg Wiemann.
[*] Changed alt text on logo. Thanks to dwpoon. See SF ID 3420435.
[+] MRBS now supports
(except for IE8 and below) (a) the selection of new bookings by
dragging over empty cells on the day and week views and (b) the
adjustment of existing bookings by dragging their sides or
corners.
[-] Correctly encode subject in delete notification mails.
[-] Changed ical output so that some email clients no longer get
booking automatically imported into their calendar, without any
user action.
[-] Fixed bug whereby $auth['only_admin_can_book'] didn't work as required
if $auth['deny_public_access'] was set.
[*] Got rid of the $mail_charset config variable. All emails now sent
as UTF-8.
[*] Restricted the requirement for the iconv module to those cases
when it is really needed, ie when the server is running AIX or
Windows.
[-] Fixed, or at least ameliorated, a problem that can occur on
Windows servers where the dates can randomly change language, due
to other scripts running in a different thread in the same
process calling setlocale().
[*] Removed the code that had to exist in config.inc.php in a
particular place. Booking entry types are now configured by the
simple array $booking_types, which contains elements like "E" and
"I". The entry types are now localised in the translation files
as "type.X" where X is the booking type. config.inc.php no longer
needs to include language.inc, and the $typel configuration array
has been removed.
[-] Removed a number of undefined variables warnings.
[-] Fixed a problem whereby "foreign" characters in CSV reports
opened by Microsoft Excel did not display properly. This is
actually an Excel problem, rather than an MRBS problem, but there
is now a circumvention in MRBS.
[*] Restricted the options available in the end time selector to
those permitted if a maximum duration has been specified.
[*] Updated French translation.
[*] Ensured that if a new booking is selected and the default
duration takes the booking past the end of the booking day, then
the default end time is the end of the booking day (rather than
the start time + resolution, as at present).
[-] Escaped some Javascript strings.
[+] Added option to auth_ldap to disable client referrals. Provided
by Daniel Yule.
[+] Made $timezone a per-area setting. Based on input from Chris
Thompson.
[*] Ensured that the “all day” check box only appears if the maximum
booking duration allows that length of booking. Based on a patch
from Daniel Yule.
[*] Added the ability to display the mini calendars at the bottom, if
$display_calendars_bottom is set to true. Based on a patch from
Daniel Yule.
[+] Added support for displaying the week number in the month view if
$view_week_number is set.
[-] Fixed two bugs: (1) Undefined index error if a mandatory field is
defined in the config file but doesn't exist in the database (2)
MRBS not picking up mandatory integer fields when JavaScript is
disabled.
[*] Limited the timezones presented in the timezone drop-down box on
the Edit Area page to those that have a corresponding VTIMEZONE
definition.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[+] Made the inputs for Match Area and Match Room on the Report page
into autocomplete fields.
[+] Added an option to make the default duration All Day.
[-] Changed the encoding of the text calendar in email notifications
to base64 in order to CRLF sequences. Thanks to Thomas Bleher for
the patch.
[*] Changed encoding of mail messages from 7bit to 8bit.
[*] Removed unnecessary <span> in the trailer. Thanks to patch from
Thomas Bleher.
[*] Updated German translation, thanks to SF tracker #3293801.
[*] Clarified documentation in auth_ext.php a little.
[*] Added some email debug information to help diagnose problems when
sending emails.
[*] Extracted the per-area default settings from systemdefaults and
put them into a new file, areadefaults.inc.php, to make it more
obvious that these are the default settings for new areas and
will have no effect on existing areas.
[*] Added lang.en as the fall-back language, in order that something
is shown even when the $default_language_tokens file does not
have a translated token. Based on a patch by Thomas Bleher.
[+] Added an option to report.php to summarize by type. Thamks to a
patch submitted by Thomas Bleher.
[-] LDAP authentication change to fix (particular) configurations
using $ldap_filter. Patch provided by rudd_j in SF tracker
#3299258.
[-] Fixed bug preventing a room name being changed when only the case
of letters in the name was being changed.
[-] Fixed bug which meant that a user logging in with an upper case
version of his name. This only occurred in certain database
configuratations.
[-] Fixed bug that caused durations to be formatted incorrectly in
some languages (eg German). See SF tracker #3313655.
[+] On the Report page, converted input fields into auto-complete
fields for custom fields that have select_options defined - For
custom fields allowed $select_options to be an associative array,
thus making it easy to change the displayed value without having
to change the database. (See SF #3315966)
[+] Implemented an optional limit on the maximum length of a booking
for non-admins. At the moment it is a global limit rather than
per-area. It also does not yet prevent invalid booking lengths
being shown in the edit_entry form.
[*] Tweaked iCalendar email data. (See also SF Tracker id 3297799)
[+] Added two new auth methods, 'crypt' and 'auth_basic'.
[-] A fix for use an uninitialised array in
Themes/default/header.inc, as reported (and fix provided) by
Henry Thompson on the mailing list.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Australia). Also corrected the localisation for Norwegian.
[-] Fixed a bug whereby book ahead policies would not be applied
when using periods. [SF Support Request #3161926]
[*] Removed MRBS's non-Unicode mode. All installations will now run
in Unicode, with all pages served as UTF-8 and all data in the database
as UTF-8. If you upgrade an installation running in non-Unicode mode
you must run the improved convert_db_to_utf8.php script, as detailed
in UPGRADE.
[*] Updated/fixed Czech translation from Marek Grác.
[-] Fixed problem where start and end times do not appear correctly
in the select boxes on the edit_entry form when using 12 hour
format and running on a Windows server.

[+] Implemented the ability to configure the default booking
description with $default_description, as requested in SF

[+] Added the ability to limit how far in advance non-admin users
can make bookings.
[*] Added the name of the deleting user to email notifications of
deleted entries.
[-] Fixed incorrect reporting of durations in email notifications.
[-] Fixed bug when using periods which meant that if you made a
booking for N periods and there were fewer than N periods left in
the day, the booking didn't flow on to the next day properly
unless the start period was the first period of the day.
[-] Fixed bug which caused the duration to be blank in email

custom fields, just like the room custom field handling does.
[+] Added a "custom_html" field for areas and rooms - this allows
custom HTML to be attached to areas and rooms.

it's too important to count as a non-fatal configuration error.
[*] Improved the layout of email configuration settings in
systemdefaults.inc.php to make them more clear.
[*] Added transaction support to MySQL DB abstractions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.4.3 (Tue Nov 24 22:00:00 GMT 2009):
[+] Moved default configuration values out of config.inc.php - this file
should now only contain settings the administrator has changed (plus
a few unfortunately necessary bits of internal code).
[-] Improved error reporting in the DB upgrade mechanism.
[*] Some code tidying to improve correctness and remove warnings.
[-] Added declaration of $PHP_SELF for PHP versions < 4.1.0.

[+] Added a configuration variable for showing week numbers in the mini
calendars.
[-] Added SQL escaping for a variable not directly enterable by a user.

which causes errors with PostgreSQL. Adds new array variable $maxlength
to config.inc.php that _must_ be populated if you are upgrading and keeping
your old config.inc.php.

to be used in the email sending code - solving a problem when running
MRBS with PHP 4.

by default, except in IE6, which doesn't support the appropriate

[+] Merged change from John Beranek for an Advanced search function,
requires 3 more translation tokens, which have been added to
each language file, "search_button" should be OK, as I took
the text from each language's "search" token.
[-] Fixed 2 problems in edit_entry.php as submitted on the mailing list.
[*] Added small enhancement to smb_auth.c, if you pass a username
as group/user, it will change the NT group that is used for
authentication.
[*] Improved shell escaping in auth_ext.inc. It now uses
escapeshellarg() instead of escapeshellcmd(). If your PHP
version is less than 4.0.3, then it includes escapeshellarg.inc
which is a local implementation of that function.
[*] Added updated French translation, as provided by Thierry Wehr.
[*] Tided all language files again, they all have the same format
and number of lines now, and are all missing at least 2 translations
because of the new advanced search functionality.
[-] Fixed a number of bugs to make the Taiwanese translation work.
The code to include language files based on HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE
has been improved, which ensures lang.zh-tw is included.
Additionally, mincals.inc not longer does a substr() on the
abbreviated weekday names, as this breaks terribly for any
multibyte encoding, as it was only taking the first byte
of a multibyte encoding. This has the impact that you now
get Mon,Tue,Wed etc instead of M,T,W (using glibc's en_GB
locale).
[-] print_header() now outputs a DOCTYPE identifier as well as
sending Pragma no-cache and an Expires header in the
past. This should help ensure the web pages don't get cached.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0 (Thu Aug 30 22:26:54 BST 2001)
[+] Added two upgrade.xx.sql files which should have been in -pre2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0-pre2 (Sun Jul 8 13:43:53 BST 2001)
[*] Incorporated diff from Scott Leonard that allows you to configure a refresh
time for roombooker web pages. Set config variable $refresh_rate to the
number of seconds to refresh after, or set to 0 to disable.
[+] Implemented "n-weekly" repeat type. Not sure I like the way it's phrased in
the lang files, but the code works fine. You can now have a meeting
that is repeated every 'n' weeks. e.g. every 5th Monday. This required
a database change, which I've made available in upgrade2.my.sql and
upgrade2.pg.sql
[*] Tidied lang files, and ensured every file has all the required tokens.
'wc -l lang.*' now shows all the files as having the same line count.
Quite a few languages now have English bits in them though.
[*] Incorporated diffs from Tim Bell that allow you to configure a filter
for LDAP authentication.
[-] Incorporated diffs from Tim Bell that solve problems with bookings made
for times that have smaller granularity that the configured booking
resolution.
[-] Fixed config.inc so that the correct lang.xx is included if
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE is a comma-seperated list like "sv, en".
[*] Copied "rep_type_5" language token into Swedish and Spanish language
files from English file. Swedish and Spanish users were not able
to use "monthly, corresponding day" repeats without the token being
present.
[*] Checked in updates to lang.es (received from Pablo Gomez) and lang.de
(received by Bernd Oeggl).
[*] Update lang.nl file (marc ter horst)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0-pre1 (Sun Mar 4 23:26:43 GMT 2001)
[*] Internationalised functions.inc. "Help", "Admin" and "Search:" are now lang
strings. Also, fixed an error in lang.fr, $vocab["mrbs"] was defined
twice. (jberanek)
[*] Added double quotes around all uses of color and class attributes, as HTML
dictates. (jberanek)
[*] On conflict, show start time and link to day/week/month views (redinger)
[+] Link each search result start time to entry's day view (bernd, beranak)
Branch Merge (2001-02-24 ljb):
[*] Incorporated all changes from branch mrbs-0-9-1xp into CVS trunk.
[*] Undoes post-branch change (0.9.2) to remove "weekstarts" function.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.9.2 (Fri Feb 9 20:09:42 GMT 2001)
[*] Remove "weekstarts" functionality
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Branch mrbs-0-9-1xp (2001-02-13 daniel):
[*] Added $I d$ tags to all files.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Branch mrbs-0-9-1xp (2001-02-10 ljb):
[*] For PHP4, rename *.php3 to *.php and changed all links.
[+] Major changes for database support for PostgreSQL:
Original tables.sql renamed tables.my.sql for MySQL.
Move sample data from tables.sql to sample-data.sql.
New tables.pg.sql to build tables for PostgreSQL.
New destroy.pg.sql to delete PostgreSQL tables and sequences.
New grant.pg.sql - edit this and run to grant PostgreSQL rights.
Replaced connect.inc with mysql.inc and pgsql.inc.
New variable in config.inc "$dbsys" selects "mysql" or "pgsql".
Renamed variables in config.inc to replace "mysql_" prefix with "db_".
New wrapper functions (see README.sqlapi) to encapsulate database calls.
New pgsql.inc provides PostgreSQL implementation, and connects.
New mysql.inc provides MySQL implementation, and connects.
Rewrote all database calls to use wrapper functions.
Rewrote all SQL statements to be standards-compliant, where possible.
Used new wrapper routines where non-standard SQL is needed.
Replace LEFT JOIN sequence with predicate-based joins.
Changes to all error handling to ensure errors are properly reported.
[+] New week.php for Week View. (Experimental)
[+] New month.php for Month View. (Experimental)
[*] Added rows of links in trailer.inc to new month and week views.
[*] Changed Entry Type from 2 values (I=Internal, E=External) to 10 values.
By default only the same 2 are defined in config.inc.
Style sheet contains colors for 10 types.
Selection box for type in edit/add entry form is dynamically built.
Color key in day view dynamically built from defined types.
Color key in day view moved to bottom of page.
[+] New Report function, linked from new button in the header. This makes
a report on entries selected by date range and match strings.
[*] Add config.inc option db_nopersist to not use persistent DB connections.
[-] Add missing args to print_header call in del.php.
[+] Add config option eveningends_minutes to allow full 24 hour display with
more resolution than 1 hour; also allows better control over the
displayed hours, for example the last slot can now be 16:30-17:00.
[*] Removed unused functions from functions.inc: get_sunday_before()
print_date_entries() display_unapproved_events() display_time()
mysql_date_to_str() get_webrowser() hextoint() decode_str() encode_str()
Also removed load_user_preferences code and calls to it.
[*] Remove redundant includes: functions.inc now assumes config.inc was
included and does not include it again; search.php and view_entry.php do
not need authentication so they don't need to include mrbs_auth.inc.
Removed redundant connect to datbase in search.php.
[*] New error function fatal_error() to ensure errors are in a proper HTML page.
[+] Added new repeat type 5: monthly repeat, corresponding weekday and week.
[+] New authentication for Netware: auth_nw.inc (see README.nwauth). This is
needed because nwauth takes the password on stdin, not cmdline.
[*] Used weblint to validate output pages and corrected HTML where needed.
Quote all attribute values, fix bad attributes, balance tags.
[*] Moved HTML end tags into trailer.inc.
[*] Changed trailer to put " | " between dates, instead of ", " after each.
[-] In print_header, fix bad position of style.inc; must be in <HEAD> block.
[-] Fix syntax error when adding room if no capacity given (use 0).
[*] Change day.php to output equal-width room columns with centered headers.
[*] search.php: Use COUNT(*) and no ORDER BY when just getting match count.
[*] Fixed typo in view_entry.php on building up per-day repeat option string.
[-] Redesign loop for adding repeat dates to prevent it from scheduling 1 past
the end date if the end date wasn't a date to schedule.
[*] Add "about" section to help.php to display viersion, system, database.
[-] Patch from BoK: fix "2 Decembers displayed if you pick "31 Nov" and Go.
This makes sure the selected date is a valid date.
[-] Patch from robc: Fix to prevent edit entry to make it overlap another.
[+] New feature from Bo: Edit area and room names (new edit_area_room.php).
[*] Sort (order) the room names alphabetically in the main display (day.php).
Changes found in CVS source:
[*] Changed "Booker's Name" to "Brief Description" (was in post-0.9pre1 CVS)
[*] View_entry uses multi-table query to show room description too (was in CVS)
[*] If no area is supplied, don't use 1 (or 0) since there might not be such
an area (if it was deleted). Instead, use new get_default_area() which
gets the lowest-numbered area. In print_header(), don't pass along
area as a hidden parameter if it wasn't supplied in the first place.
[*] Patch from BoK: Booking repeat Sat/Sun, only entered first Sun.
[*] Fixes to PHP magic quoting. We now turn of magic_quotes_runtime always,
and use new slashes() and unslashes() to conditionally deal with
backslack-quotes depending on value of PHP's magic_quotes_gpc setting.
NOTE: Possibly slightly incompatible change. Prior versions may have
put pre-quoted values (area name, room name, booking name, booking
description) into the database tables. This was wrong. If so, you
will see funny \'s in the value displays.
MRBS now should properly quote and unquote all values behind the scenes.
[*] Admin.php gets the area name from the database if it only has the ID.
[-] Patch from BoK: fix duplicate bookings from failure to delete caused by
bad entry_type change to 2.
[*] Updates to site_faq.html - describe repeats, generalize Authentication info.
[*] Use a mutual exclusion lock (mutex) when adding an entry to prevent races.
[+] New maintenance SQL scripts: purge.my.sql and purge.pg.sql to delete old
entries from your database (default 30 days old).
[*] Fixed field alignment in Add/Edit Entry form to right-justify labels.
[*] Security: Use EscapeShellCmd() on username and password in auth_ext.inc
[-] Fixed function toTimeString() to use lang[] for time units (I18N).
[*] Streamlined main query in day.php: omit unused columns, improve predicate
to select by times from 6 compares to 2.
[*] In day.php, only fill in map entries during the day hours of interest.
[*] In lang.* language files, fixed quoting (found in CVS), comments, strip
CRs and fixed some typos.
[-] Use double quotes around all string array indexes except inside strings.
This avoids a PHP notice-level warning on each array reference.
[-] Fix undefined variable references to avoid notice-level PHP warnings.
[-] Bug fix: round meeting times up to $resolution units, not 30 minutes, and
don't allow 0 minute meetings - make them 1 resolution unit instead.
[*] When using the footer to change dates, remember the current area.
[-] Changed view_entry to always show both time and date for start and end time;
the CVS version was buggy and quirky in suppressing the date or time if
it thought they were not important. Better to show too much info.
[+] New weekstarts and dateformat (Jan 01 vs 01 Jan) config (from BoK),
generalized to show the week starting on any day.
[*] Add inline colors for non-CSS browsers (based on patch from John Beranek).
[*] Added current date header above day display (from John Beranek).
