New Features

The New Library Items site is back, this time as a separate site which can be found at http://newlibstuff.middlebury.edu. Use this interface to browse the collection of library items by subject or type and see their covers.

We have added a WordPress plugin called The Events Calendar to support a site for the DLA.

Updates

• WordPress Creative Commons Configurator 1.8.12
• WordPress Open Street Map 3.5.3
• WordPress Recent Posts Widget Extended 0.9.9.4

Tweaks and Fixes

• The limit on the amount of time allowed when you save page settings in Drupal has been increased. This should prevent you from seeing the grey “503 error” page when adding permissions to a particularly large portion of the site, though we still recommend using the AD Group Manager when possible.
• We’ve optimized the query that fetches lists of donors for MiddSTART so that it returns only a few hundred rows from the database on each page load, rather than a hundred thousand.
• Missing page regions caused by a recent update to Monster Menus were restored to several themes, including the Museum and the interior “blue” MIIS theme.
• Extra white-space in Newsletter templates caused by a recent update to Monster Menus has been removed.
• A large number of pages that were showing up in the Google Webmaster Tools report for the MIIS site as 404s now redirect to appropriate content. There are now virtually no broken links on their site, or on other sites pointing at the MIIS site.
