The recent change completely removed support for general URIs and enforced strict URL validation which was breaking backwards compatibility and was not user friendly at all.
This patch finally adds full URI support with basic validation and fixes some older xhtml strict issues.
Please note we do not try to explain the difference between URL and URI to our users. Also keep in mind that mod/url has XSS risk and does not do any security validation of the data.
Bug fixes:
* fixed broken flash resizing via URL
* upgraded Flowplayer
* fixed invalid context in format_text()
* all media related CSS moved from themes to filter and resources
* fixed automatic pdf resizing in resources
Changes:
* reworked filter_mediaplugin system settings - grouped by player type instead of individual extensions, added more information
* improved regex url matching
* removed old unused players, Eolas fix and UFO embedding
* image embedding moved to filter_urltolink
* new Flowplayer embedding API
* accessibility and compatibility tweaks in Flowplayer
* SWF embedding now works only in trusted texts, it is now enabled by default (works everywhere if "Allow EMBED and OBJECT tags" enabled)
* new default video width and height
New features:
* automatic Flash video resizing using information from video metadata
* Flash HD video support (*.f4v)
* Flash video embedding with HTML5 fallback - compatible with iOS and other mobile devices
* Vimeo embedding
* no-cookie YouTube site supported
* HTML 5 audio and video with multiple source URLs and QuickTime fallback
* more video and audio extensions in filelib.php
* MP3 player colours customisable via CSS in themes
* nomediaplugin class in a tag prevents media embedding
From now on, all English strings use the new syntax. They are not
eval()'ed any more and the only valid placeholders are {$a} and
{$a->foobar}. No extra quotes escaping, dollar sign escaping and putting
double percent signs.
The modified files were exported from AMOS database repository in the
new syntax and were re-ordered by stringid. Standard GNU/GPL and PHPdoc
blocks are added. Where there was no copyright note so far, I added the
default one with Martin Dougiamas as the copyright holder.
Live long and prosper.
