16 Mar 2006: 1.1 Development News

More new features have gone into the 1.1 code in CVS:

• Db query caching: This will be particularly useful for event calendars that are not updated nearly as frequently as a multi-user calendar. Db query results are saved off to a file and used the next time the query is made. This should speed up performance considerably.
  Note: This is not documented anywhere, but add a new cachedir entry in includes/settings.php for this feature to be enabled.
• Translation parsing cache: Translation files will now be parsed and saved into a cache file for faster loading.
• New menu!: A new menu system is now available. This menu will eventually replace the trailer at the bottom of each page.
• User Access Control UI: The UI for UAC has been revamped and should be much more intuitive than the initial interface.
