Easy Glossary

What's new?

Version 1.0.20: 20 October 2026

• Download Key support on the update site (dlid).

Version 1.0.19: 19 October 2026

• Prints the glossary stylesheet and script with the page so Helix and other head-first templates still style the glossary.

Version 1.0.18: 19 October 2026

• Runs on Joomla 5 and 6 with the Behaviour Backward Compatibility plugins disabled
• Admin assets load through the web asset manager; tables use the current database API

Version 1.0.17: 7 September 2026

• New Feature: Community language packs for es-ES, fr-FR, it-IT, de-DE, and pt-BR across the component, module, and plugins (contribution by Marcos Cappa).
• Improvement: Editors-XTD insert modal uses Joomla language keys via Text::script / Joomla.Text._() so the button UI follows the site language.

Version 1.0.16: 7 September 2026

• Bug Fix: Public Full Definition renders stored safe HTML with the form safehtml filter instead of stripping tags via default InputFilter.
• Improvement: Component option Accent-sensitive search (default Off). When On, Contains/Begins/Exact distinguish accents such as N vs Ñ; when Off, search uses normal database accent folding. A-Z letter navigation always follows the glossary alphabet. Sounds Like stays phonetic.
• New Feature: Component option Hide empty A-Z letters (default Off). When On, alphabet chips with no published terms are omitted instead of shown disabled.

Version 1.0.13: 7 September 2026

• Bug Fix: Frontend Suggest a term keeps allowed short_def/fulltext HTML via the same safehtml InputFilter mode as the term form (default InputFilter was stripping lists/emphasis).
• Bug Fix: Glossary list ordering and term prev/next order letters with utf8mb4_bin so Spanish N and Ñ do not collapse in sort order.
• Bug Fix: Administrator sys.ini includes COM_EASYGLOSSARY_SELECT_TERM for the Term page menu picker.
• Improvement: Release preflight gate cli/qa_preflight_easyglossary.php covers Marcos regressions plus adversarial letter/HTML/lang/version checks.

Version 1.0.12: 7 September 2026

• Bug Fix: A-Z letter counts and filters compare letter with utf8mb4_bin so Spanish N and Ñ stay separate under utf8mb4_unicode_ci tables; embed/module letter lists follow glossary alphabet order.
• Bug Fix: CSV import no longer pre-strips fulltext/short_def with InputFilter html; the term form safehtml filter keeps allowed markup for round-trips.
• Bug Fix: Administrator com_easyglossary.sys.ini includes COM_EASYGLOSSARY_MENU_TERM_DESC for the Term page menu type.

Version 1.0.11: 6 September 2026

• Bug Fix: Term pages no longer duplicate short_def when fulltext is empty (lead only; body renders fulltext when present).
• Bug Fix: Clearing the last Related Term empties the edited term's related_ids (fancy-select omitted key treated as empty on full form save) and still removes reciprocal backlinks.
• Bug Fix: A term cannot be related to itself: excluded from the Related Terms selector and stripped server-side on save; frontend See also also ignores self IDs.
• Bug Fix: Card hover border/shadow and other accent-tinted UI washes use var(--egloss-accent) via color-mix instead of hardcoded default blue.

Version 1.0.10: 5 September 2026

• Bug Fix: Frontend Glossary menu no longer hits infinite recursion: populateState() no longer calls getState() while initializing list limit/start.
• Bug Fix: Legacy numeric CSV related_ids are validated against existing terms before storage.
• Bug Fix: Explicit unresolved {glossary_index glossary="…"} returns an empty A-Z nav instead of the global index.
• Improvement: System plugin clears Easy Glossary cache only for com_easyglossary.* and com_content.* contexts.

Version 1.0.9: 5 September 2026

• Bug Fix: CSV Related Terms second import pass runs for terms newly created by a core.create-only user; updating related links on pre-existing terms still requires core.edit.

Version 1.0.8: 4 September 2026

• Security: Finder no longer indexes a term when term and glossary use different non-Public view levels (single access cannot represent logical AND).
• Bug Fix: Finder removes terms whose explicit language differs from the parent glossary language (no public visibility context).
• Bug Fix: Reset and uninstall purge #__contentitem_tag_map and UCM rows for com_easyglossary.term before dropping tables / content type.
• Bug Fix: CSV related links export as portable glossaryAlias|glossaryLang|termAlias|termLang keys and resolve in a second import pass; legacy numeric related_ids still accepted for same-database imports.
• Bug Fix: Usage Map scans eligible articles in batches (up to 5000) instead of only the 120 most recently modified.
• Bug Fix: ASSET_VERSION aligned to 1.0.8; duplicate COM_EASYGLOSSARY_USAGE_COUNT INI key removed; component package ships a single installer script.php.

Version 1.0.7: 4 September 2026

• Bug Fix: Finder adapter uses table alias a so term save/reindex no longer fails with Unknown column a.id.
• Bug Fix: Finder state/access queries use parent glossaries (glossary_id), not #__categories; glossary save/state/delete reindexes or removes child terms; access sync reindexes instead of assuming nested view levels via max().
• Security: Finder effective language prefers parent glossary language when the term is *; unpublished parent/term rows are removed from the index; non-Public glossary access gates the Finder link.
• Bug Fix: Finder stores raw index.php term routes (not admin-routed URLs) and adds Type/Language/Category taxonomy.
• Bug Fix: Glossary delete cascades child terms in a transaction (no UNIQUE orphan collisions on glossary_id = 0).
• Bug Fix: Related-term backlinks add and remove symmetrically; deleted terms are purged from other related_ids.
• Bug Fix: Router glossary/term resolution uses VisibilityHelper (access, language, published parent); ambiguous same-alias glossaries are not guessed; RouteHelper no longer reads non-existent MenuItem::$published.
• Bug Fix: CSV includes glossary_language; ambiguous glossary/term language matches are skipped; import enforces upload error, 5 MB and row caps; export/sample links use Session::getFormToken().
• Bug Fix: Package updates no longer force-enable plugins; full secondary indexes ensured on update; collision-safe alias migration; required schema failures abort the update; 1.0.1.sql is idempotent (CAN FAIL).
• Bug Fix: Reset/sample data purges Finder and UCM maps; uninstall removes content type and Finder links.
• Bug Fix: Search module input IDs are unique per module; nested skip-class highlighter tracks full ancestry; Usage Map applies category visibility and UTF-8-safe snippets.
• Bug Fix: Sitemap emits raw XML (format=xml supported); TermTable is taggable; configuration save clears matcher cache; missing glossary id returns 404; published values keep trash/archive.
• Bug Fix: Frontend Suggest a term form labels live in the site language file; public SEO strings are product-neutral and honor menu page title, meta description, and robots; frontend submit fires content save events for Finder; JSON-LD term URLs are absolute.
• Improvement: minimumJoomla raised to 5.0 (Joomla 5 and 6). Release metadata (ReadMe, assets, Wikipedia UA) aligned to 1.0.7.

Version 1.0.5: 3 September 2026

• Bug Fix: Duplicate administrator Import and Export menu item removed. Submenu creation now matches by link (not only alias) and cleans existing duplicates on update.

Version 1.0.4: 2 September 2026

• Bug Fix: All-glossaries and unpublished glossary views no longer fatal on null glossary objects (alphabet, SEO, templates).
• Bug Fix: CSV import strips UTF-8 BOM so exported files re-import correctly.
• Bug Fix: CSV import matches existing terms by title when alias is empty, counts blank-title rows as skipped, and only assigns access levels the importer is allowed to use.
• Security: Frontend submit glossary picker and save path use VisibilityHelper (published, access, language).
• Bug Fix: Term router no longer guesses among duplicate aliases without a glossary id; numeric-prefix fallback verifies the alias suffix.
• Improvement: Sample CSV download requires a CSRF token; highlighter tag parsing handles quoted attributes.

Version 1.0.3: 1 September 2026

• Security: Forced {glossary id="…"} shortcode DB fallback now uses the same VisibilityHelper term + parent glossary access and language rules as the public matcher.
• Bug Fix: Void HTML elements with skip classes no longer leave the highlighter classStack permanently active.
• Security: Reset database and Install sample data now require core.admin or core.delete; UI warnings strengthened.
• Bug Fix: CSV import skips rows when an explicit glossary_alias cannot be resolved instead of silently falling back to another glossary.
• Improvement: Editors-xtd button assets use the plugin manifest version for cache busting.

Version 1.0.2: 31 August 2026

• New Feature: Dedicated Import and Export admin screen for CSV import, CSV export, and sample CSV download (moved off the Terms list and toolbar).
• New Feature: One-click Install sample data and Reset database.
• New Feature: Redesigned admin dashboard.
• Security: CSV import ACL, HTML filter/validate, export CSRF; public visibility for access, language, parent glossary.
