Lightview Changelog

Lightview 2.8.0 - October 28, 2011

* Ported some improvements over from the upcoming Lightview 3.

  - Better text alignment.
  - Avoided conflicts with CSS that styles UL and LI elements.
  - Improved downscaled images in IE < 9, this also fixed a bug that could cause 
    an icon/border to appear for a short time while the image is inserted.

* The download now has an example folder that shows the installation.

Lightview 2.7.4 - July 21, 2011

* Now showing some helpful information when a site needs to enable jQuery.noConflict.

Lightview 2.7.3 - July 8, 2011

* Moved some minor visual tweaks over from the development version of Lightview 3.

Lightview 2.7.2 - June 29, 2011

* CSS improvements for better text alignment in the menubar.

Lightview 2.7.1 - March 15, 2011

* Fixed a bug that prevented downscaled images from showing up in IE9.

* Fixed a bug that prevented sets that define types from having more then one item, 
  for example: set[setname][flash]

* Added some effect durations to the options.

Lightview 2.6.1 - February 8, 2011

* The image number indicator now adds a zero to numbers below 10 so that there will 
  always be at least two digits showing a number. [Frank Dresmé]
  
* Fixed a problem where previous and next buttons showed up when cyclic was set to true
  and the gallery contained only one item.

Lightview 2.6 - February 7, 2011

* Moved the previous and next buttons inside the view to go alongside the image # indicator.
  Updated the CSS file.

* Changed the image number display to show only numbers with zeros so the left and right 
  side of it are balanced. For example: "004 / 150" instead of "Image 4 out of 150",
  it also removes any language from that string.

* Fixed a bug where it was possible that the previous and next arrows could disappear in 
  some situations on older version of IE.

* Quicktime views now increase the height of the movie by 16px when it has a controller 
  enabled so you no longer have to do this manually. This change might even make your
  quicktime movies sharper as they could have been of by a few pixels before:
  http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26485?viewlocale=en_US

* Updated cab files in options.

Lightview 2.5.6 - January 12, 2011

* Made the Gecko version check better so it works with Firefox nightly builds. [burnymc]

Lightview 2.5.5 - January 9, 2011

* Used defer on firing lightview:loaded to prevent a TypeError thrown from Object.keys
  in IE. [erictr1ck, vlad]

  Should be looked into further since the required defer could mean that 
  Prototype fires dom:loaded too quickly, at least in IE.

Lightview 2.5.4 - December 29, 2010

* Fixed a bug where inline content disappeared in IE when opened more then once.
  [rivkadr, yoyoyo, bostondevin]

Lightview 2.5.3 - November 17, 2010

* Upgrade to Prototype 1.7 and Scriptaculous 1.8.3 in preparation for IE9.

Lightview 2.5.2.1 - January 1, 2010

* Fixed the slideshow play and stop button. When changing the background color
  the transparent white background is no longer visible underneath the icon.

Lightview 2.5.2 - October 6, 2009

* Lightview's optimized document.viewport has been moved into Prototype,
  refactored the code to make use of it.
  http://github.com/sstephenson/prototype/commit/c3c953363b178ca2b0ee270b9c081858658693f6

* Changed flash to show itself as late as possible to prevent IE borders.

Lightview 2.5.1 - September 5, 2009

* Made Prototype 1.6.1 the required Prototype version for better IE8 compatibility.

* Fixed a bug that could arise when Lightview and Prototip are on the same page in IE8
  by changing the VML implementation.

Lightview 2.5 - May 17, 2009

* Lightview is now compatible with IE8 using Prototype 1.6.1_rc2.

* Changed the VML implementation to work with IE8 [Peter Sunde]

* Made sure the Controller corners work with a Strict Doctype.

* Work around object and embed Prototype bugs in IE8 by not extending those elements.
  A temporary workaround since this bug is now fixed in Prototype trunk, 

* Fixed 'Home' and 'End' buttons on a slideshow.

* Fixed a bug where the bottom part of an iframe was sometimes not shown.

* You can now specificy the type of view on a set using set[setname][type]
  for example rel='set[myset][iframe]' will force an iframe.

Lightview 2.4.0.4 - December 21, 2008

* Fixed a bug where the Controller corners disappeared when it's own border
  or Lightview's radius was set to 0 [hanski1982]

Lightview 2.4.0.3 - December 18, 2008

* Fixed a bug where iframes in fullscreen got cut off at the bottom of Lightview [jabbercode]

Lightview 2.4.0.2 - December 14, 2008

* Required Prototype is 1.6.0.3

* Required Scriptaculous is 1.8.2

* Made sure the menubar keeps it's visibility hidden before the fadein starts
  to prevent a flicker in IE [express, noxhoej]

* Changed the Quicktime to Quicktime fix from 2.4.0.1 to not resize anything when
  it's not required.

Lightview 2.4.0.1 - December 12, 2008

* Avoid conflicts with body { text-align: center; } in CSS [noxhoej]

* Fix problem where moving from Quicktime to Quicktime with the same dimensions
  would not show the video on Safari Mac [ig88]

* Changed the VML implementation to avoid the use of v:* since support for it is dropped by IE.

Lightview 2.4 - December 8, 2008

* Added support for mixed sets of content.

* Added Controller to navigate through sets. It will take over the default controls
cleaning up the view, the fixed position of the previous and next button make it easier to navigate.
The slideshow button in the controller will be active when a set contains images only.

* Resized images are now shown through Canvas or VML. This adds the missing anti-aliasing to IE.
Greatly improving image quality, this also improves on other browser but is most noticable on IE.

* Refactored the resize effect.

* Added overflow option that makes it possible to give ajax and inline views a scrollbar.

* Removed scrolling option. The overflow option gives more control over the scrollbars and
better resembles the actual CSS.

* Fixed content inside inline and ajax views from going underneath it's scrollbar on IE.

* Prototype.Browser is no longer extended with IE6 and WebKit419.

* Using a document.viewport method that is 10x faster then the one in Prototype.
Planned for Prototype 1.6.0.4 http://prototype.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8886/tickets/336

* Made it possible to set the position of the menubar to 'top' or 'bottom' for each media type.

* Switched to event delegation when opening views.
Calling Lightview.updateViews is no longer required.

* Added support for image map area tags.

* Lightview will now always open starting from the same dimensions,
those can be adjusted using startDimensions.

* Quicktime no longer needs the 16px correction for it's controller,
removing the correction fixed some distortion issues.

* closeButton option can now be 'small', 'large' or false to customize or hide the closeButton
inside the view.

* keyboard buttons can now be disabled on individual views using the keyboard option.

* Removed the wrapping of inline elements to correct margins on them because it was unreliable,
when inserting elements inline into Lightview you will need to make sure they have no margins
set on them for the best result.

* Added menubarPadding to easily configure the padding between menubar and content.

* Made sure hidden inline content doesn't shift pagesize when shown.

* Fixes bug where Quicktime could flash at the top left position on IE before showing.

* Using the default overlay method on Safari 3, overlay.png is now only used on older Safari versions.
Removed overlay_fix.png

* Fixed bug where images didn't resize to the viewport at the right dimensions [noxhoej]

Lightview 2.3.2 - September 3, 2008

* Effects now go 2x faster.
  All changes in this release are UI improvements taken from the upcoming 2.4 release.

* Changed the topclose button to always stay open. [kb244, ijnalepa]

* Renamed #overlay to #lv_overlay, this prevents conflicts with other scripts
  using the same id.

* Added overlayClose option to disable the overlay close on click for individual views.

* Darkened the text and the inner buttons for better visibility on every mouse state.

* Better text and image alignment inside the menubar.

* Absolute image path can now be an url starting with 'http://' or '/'.

  and ready for a Lightview.show call.

* Some refactoring on how Lightview is shown/hidden in older versions of Safari.

Lightview 2.2.9.2 - May 21, 2008

* Fixed a bug with inline content not showing properly in IE [alfhv]

Lightview 2.2.9.1 - May 20, 2008

* Added play/stop text next to the slideshow image.
  Changed the inner buttons so their visibility is always good.
  Added a little spacing to the inner next button so it aligns with the grid again.

Lightview 2.2.9 - May 19, 2008

* Made it possible to set an image directory using an absolute url.
  For example: 'http://www.yoururl.com/images/lightview/'
  This makes it easier to use url rewriting with Lightview.

* Switched to wmode transparent for flash, to force swf to be on top.
  Made it possible to set wmode through options.

Lightview 2.2.8.1 - May 13, 2008

Lightview 2.2.6 - April 20, 2008

* Fixed IE6 close button size and black pixels caused by 2.2.4 changes.
  CSS on the close button changed from padding to margin.

Lightview 2.2.5

* Fixed top margin problems some sites had on Internet Explorer after inserting Lightview.
  
  details: Lightview and it's overlay are now inserted at the bottom of the page.
  This reverts a change made in 2.0.1 where those elements were added to the top of the page.
  It prevented some pages throwing 'Operating Aborted' on IE6 after lightview was inserted
  into document.body on Prototypes 'dom:loaded' event. Should that bug arise again it will be
  solved in Prototype instead. A workaround in that case is inserting lightview.js right before
  the  tag. [kak, zencocoon, noxhoej]

* Added view.options.flashvars for flash (swf) content [jtclarke]

* Added defaultOptions for flash [baalwww]

* view.options.ajaxOptions became view.options.ajax
  ajaxOptions will still work but I will eventually drop support for it,
  so switching to ajax instead is recommended.

* Added view.options.loop to quicktime [Antonio]

* Added options.removeTitles to prevent removal of title attributes.

* Made sure margins will also transfer to inline content [Danny Bloemendaal]

  [cssguru, Jordi Berges, sroush, drmikey]

  This is not possible when the iframe is still hidden, so the iframe is now inserted later.

  that supports fixed positioning properly, a few observers could be removed.

* Fixed iframe resize issue in non-fullscreen mode when resizing to stay within the viewport.

* Fixed inline content for IE7, made sure inline content is placed back before the 
  overlay is hidden. [Sven]

it allows to get the dimensions of an element even if it has display:none ancestors.
Also posted it on Prototype trac: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/11142

* Removed effect-less part of code. And made it possible to only add effects.js.
It slims down the code with 20% and allows me to only worry about Effect.Queues
instead of setting timers.

When only using effects.js it's impossible to tell if the right scriptaculous
version is included. The version check will know about this and ignore the scriptaculous
check in this case.

* Effect.Parallel gives unexpected results when queued with the others,
modified the order of effects to make sure effects still queue right.

* Changed topclose button to be on the left side for Mac, right side on others.

* Fixed topclose button having a double side margin in IE, switched to padding on parent.

* Fixed a bug that caused an area of the screen not being clickable after lightview
closed and you started scrolling or resizing in firefox and safari.

* Made sure sidebuttons never pop out after switching from media to external and back.

* Added Lightview.error to hold possible error messages, you can now change the
plugin message to your own language.

* Added Plugin check for Quicktime and Flash Lightview will show a message that
informs you to download the required plugins. Added pluginspages.

* Made sure Lightview.View extends only once.

* Added clearContent to clean up when closing and switching between views.

* Added topclose button.

* Fixed a bug where firefox showed a background offset effect on the sides of
Lightview, caused by position: fixed in combination with negative margin and opacity.
This seems to be fixed in FF3b2, for now firefox2 can't use position:fixed.
When FF3 is adopted I'll reintroduce position:fixed for firefox.

Lightview 1.5.0 - Februari 4, 2008

* Using event delegation for side buttons. This allows to recreate the sidebutton divs
without having to reobserve them. IE needs to recreate sidebuttons each time.

* Fixed loading element to pass xhtml validation

* Removed IE overlay .closeable, it's no longer required

* Prefixed all classes with lv_ to prevent CSS conflicts.

Lightview.show({
href: '/items',
rel: 'ajax'
options: {
ajaxOptions: { method: 'get' },
fullscreen:true
}
});

* Added fullscreen mode for ajax/iframe/inline views
Lightview.show({ href: 'http://www.prototypejs.org', options: { fullscreen:true }});

* Added options parameter for ajax/iframe/inline content.
Use it like you would use an object, or:

Lightview.show({
href: 'http://www.prototypejs.org',
rel: 'iframe',
title: 'Prototype',
options: { width: 800, height: 600 }
});

* Lightview.show now accepts an object, you can use it like this:

* Side buttons will now fade/appear with the content when moving between views.

* Prevented title attribute tooltips from showing, the original title is stored in
element._view._title then removed.

* Prevented close button flicker when going to a different view

* Smoother fading on next/previous

* slideshow.display toggles the slideshow button, overlay.display now works

* Fixed base tag throwing page not found error in IE6 [cssguru, noxhoej]

* Added options.preloadHover to toggle preloading of images on mouseover.

* Fixed IE6 prev next buttons when no effects.

* Fixed IE6 requiring effects for positioning [noxhoej]

* Version check can now check for any version of Prototype/Scriptaculous.
Also added to Scriptaculous trac: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10966

* Changed dimensions of the slideshow buttons for better alignment.

* Lightview.View Class added, it extends elements with _view, containing everything Lightview
needs to get out of that element, including functions Lightview can use.
This speeds things up by preventing duplicate requests to element attributes.

* Fixed missing 'px' in canvas drawing.

* Refactoring of corner drawing.

  Safari, IE7+ and Opera also benefit from this update.

Lightview 1.0.2
