Orson 0.3.0 (2022-03-06)

New Features

  • Revisions support for Cards and Pages. Allows you to browse through the history of the creation and development of a piece of text, and view changes between revisions.
  • Comparison Context for comparing the differences between cards. Supports comparison between card revisions. Diff feature shows colour-coded differences between any two card texts.
  • Node Graph Context. A comprehensive visualisation tool for drawing node-edge graphs. Designed to support the creation of Harris Matrices for archaeological documentation, but can be used for a wide range of purposes. Orson Cards can be linked to nodes, allowing for detailed description and commentary on graph elements.
  • Creator credits on all content types. Can be disabled in Settings by an admin. Creator sidebar for filtering content, also optional.
  • Save As... implemented for all Contexts and Pages, to allow for the easy creation of copies.
  • Migrations system for updating database schema (backend).

Improvements

  • New Actions dropdown menu for every Context. This includes common actions but can also include custom Actions for the current type of Context.
  • When deleting a Card, the confirm dialogue box now shows links to any Contexts the Card is included in.
  • All Contexts can now be Tag Contexts. (When assigned a Tag or Tags, the Context's Cards will be automatically composed of any Cards with that Tag.)
  • List of cards in sidebar now includes a 'Go to Card' link for each entry, to view the Card in its own page, e.g. for viewing revisions.
  • Improved UI formatting in Timeline Context.
  • Fullscreen option now available in main toolbar as well as in individual Contexts and Pages.
  • Many improvements to dark theme.

  • Cards can now be deleted even when they are included in Contexts.
  • Fix new Tags having card count of zero.
  • Fix issue with alert messages appearing inconsistently.
  • Reduce number of database queries.
