OJS 2.3.0 Release Notes
CVS tag: ojs-2_3_0-0
Release date: Oct 7, 2009
=================================

OJS 2.3 introduces a major rewrite of core aspects of PKP applications that
reconciles common code (e.g. shared between OJS, OCS, and the Harvester) into
a separate library called the PKP Web Application Library (WAL). Many parts of
the system have been changed in a way that is transparent to users but that
will vastly improve maintainability and the ease with which PKP can deploy
fixes and new features across multiple applications. Wherever possible, this
has been done in a way that minimizes code breakage e.g. for modified installs
of OJS and custom plugins.

Configuration Changes
---------------------

See config.TEMPLATE.inc.php for a description and examples of all supported
configuration parameters.

New config.inc.php parameters:
	- general:time_format - Allows specification of the time format to use
		(see strftime in the PHP documentation for details)
	- general:restful_urls - Generate RESTful URLs using mod_rewrite. See
		FAQ for details.
	- general:xslt_command: For automatic generation of XHTML output (e.g.
		using the XML galleys plugin), use the specified tool to
		perform the transformation. See config.TEMPLATE.inc.php for
		details.
	- email:display_errors has been moved to debug:display_errors.
