The file downloader was changed from a simple redirect to the file to one
implemented in PHP, which should make it safer, by making it possible disallow
direct access to the file, to prevent executing of atttachments
The filename has a new format:
bin2hex("{$original_name}")."-{$filehash}"
This format should be respected. Notice the dash, which is important to distinguish it from the previous
format, which was "{$hash}.{$ext}"
This change was made to both make the experience more user friendly, by
providing a readable name for files, as opposed to it's hash. This name is taken
from the upload filename, but, clearly, as this wasn't done before, it's
impossible to have a proper name for older files, so those are displayed as
"untitled.{$ext}".
This new name is displayed in the UI, instead of the previous name.
Actions have $this->scoped as the current profile which we can gladly
replace all the $cur=common_current_user() with.
And we want the prepare/handle functions to be protected. Plus only
the prepare function uses $args (which _must_ be an array).
I used this hacky sed-command (run it from your GNU Social root, or change the first grep's path to where it actually lies) to do a rough fix on all ::staticGet calls and rename them to ::getKV
sed -i -s -e '/DataObject::staticGet/I!s/::staticGet/::getKV/Ig' $(grep -R ::staticGet `pwd`/* | grep -v -e '^extlib' | grep -v DataObject:: |grep -v "function staticGet"|cut -d: -f1 |sort |uniq)
If you're applying this, remember to change the Managed_DataObject and Memcached_DataObject function definitions of staticGet to getKV!
This might of course take some getting used to, or modification fo StatusNet plugins, but the result is that all the static calls (to staticGet) are now properly made without breaking PHP Strict Standards. Standards are there to be followed (and they caused some very bad confusion when used with get_called_class)
Reasonably any plugin or code that tests for the definition of 'GNUSOCIAL' or similar will take this change into consideration.
