further improve unitTests code to scan all plugins 'tests' folder for tests (files starting with 'Test')
add 'realpath' default seo rewrite type that is the same as path, except that 'index.php/' is also dropped from the url; this requires a single rewrite rule (.htaccess, etc.) same as, for example, Wordpress uses

change zm_absolute_href again
added array check to ZMShippingProvider c'tor

disable validation of billing address list selection during checkout
auto select shipping/billing address in list if only one address

fixed build process for update packages
fixed loader isse that stopped theme classes being found; for example, custom MetaTags class, etc.

added ZenMagick event 'init_done'; ZenMagick events all use 'onZM' as prefix, so the event resolves to a callback metod name of onZMInitDone(..)
added if-modified-since and etag header for cache hits
added support for plugin admin pages added dynamically to the menu system; see ZMPlugin::addMenuItem(...) for details
added admin support for faster header (less code but also less functionallity)
added code to allow plugins add links to the admin menu dynamically; this will allow plugins to have custom admin pages
fixed a few typos in RSS classes
added support to include plugins into core.php; plugins control this via ZMPlugin::getLoaderSupport()

add support for cart actions to zm_call_zc_page(..)
make ZMShoppingCart use a reference of zen-cart's cart object rather than taking a copy; removed ZMShoppingCart::refresh()
changed fopen call in lastRSS.php to @fopen to avoid ugly error stacks if behind a firewall...
level of loader support for plugins is now depending on the configured loader support flag for each plugin. The flag also controlls core.php inclusion.

added basic support to add pretty link rules for custom URLs
allow plugin admin pages to be generated as either simple contents or as part or a ZMPluginPage instance In other words, the function passed into ZMPlugin::addMenuIten(..) either generates simple HTML output, or no output at all but returns a ZMPluginPage instance containing the contents

fixed #1739163: invalid attribute form field for text input fields

disable POST handling when 'isEnableZenMagick' is false
do not run zen-cart fixes (zc_fixes.php) if not using themes ('isEnableZenMagick'); this will break POST handling for some zen-cart pages
allow category prev/next links to be secure if the page is secure
fixed #1741055: nonssl links in order history
added setting 'zmLogFilename', which, if set will be used to log ZenMagick log entries; default is null to use the default log file (usually the httpd error log)

fixed a few leftover hardcoded response views from controllers
added mapping id to ZMView
moved ZMAjaxController::callZCPageController(..) as zm_call_zc_page into the misc package

added new all-in-one ZMValidator::insertJSValidation($id) method
added extra/valdation.php to default theme which now contains all validations
modified all views that use JS validation to use the new validation code
added new setting 'isAutoJSValidation' which is on by default; zm_form and zm_secure_form will automatically add JS validation code if it exists; this means all required is to set up validation rules and create the form using zm_form or zm_secure_form!
make ZenMagick code fail gracefully *if* all patches are reverted *and* the zenmagick folder gets removed (I know this still leaves a trail of unused files, but still better than what we have now)
added a meta tag: generator = ZenMagick [version] to the default_layout
fixed server side validation code (has not been used until now)
added new ZMSession class that acts as wrapper around $_SESSION in order to keep access to $_SESSION central and simple
default and demo theme version now follow the main ZenMagick version number
added ZMFieldMatchRule validation rule to validate new password and confirm password
simplified the ZMMinRule setup, as name and min length are passed as parameter already (since we only use the min value, the format needed to be changed to %2$s to access the second format parameter rather than just using %s; please see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php for more details)
all regular access to $_GET and $_POST is now wrapped in zm_sanitize(..) calls
refactored zm_db_value_list() into ZMDao::bindValueList(..)
account subscriptions changed a bit to make the DAO more consistent - this required minor changes to a couple account views and controllers; basically ZMSubscriptions got dumped and all information moved into ZMAccount
removed companyName from ZMAccount
had to change email parameter handling - sorry! zen-cart values are now directly available under their respective names, for example $INTRO_ORDER_NUMBER; zc_args does not exist any more.
added code to handle forgotten password submits
fix: getCompanyName() in create_account view needs to be called on zm_address rather than zm_account
really fix dummy sidebox patch so no sidebox dummies are created for filenames including '.in.'
renamed ZMModel::populateFromRequest() to populate($req)
fixed some invalid settings
changed the default message type from 'error' to 'msg'
added forth inbuild message type 'success'
messages now support references (ie; field names) like zen-cart does
'msg' and 'success' messages default to the same style in default and demo theme
added zm_field_messages(..) and corresponding CSS rules to display field specific error messages - the demo theme login view is changed to illustrate thhis
added code to ZMSession (and zm_redirect(..)) to save messages in the session if redirecting - this way it is transparent to the caller
added submit handling for change account password
fixed issue with ZMDateRule; format now defaults to UI_DATE_FORMAT if not set (null); this is related to the fact that i18n defines are set only *after* the validation rules are loaded and therefore UI_DATE_FORMAT is not yet available!
added product_notification email template
fixed DAO method bindValueList() for data types other than integer
added a module base class ZMPlugin ('course it has to be named differently!)
changed all code to use getDB() rather than $db_ directly
renamed ZMDao and the dao package to ZMService and services, respectively to accomodate the fact that ZMDao was used in a broader sense than just DAO
rewrite of the zco-notifier code to allow even easier subscriptions to zen-cart events (includes a new patch)
added a (admittelty very basic) plugin admin page
added ZMPluginFilter to allow plugins to modify the generated page contents before returning it to the client; NOTE: requires isEnableOB to be true!
fixed/added getAmount() method to ZMOrderTotal and updated phpdoc - getValue() does actually return the string, not the (float) amount!
renamed ZMOrderItem:getId() to ZMOrderItem:getProductId() as this is what it is; needs some changes to templates..
renamed all desctructor methods ___desctructor, thus disabling them as they are currently all empty; this might break existing code as older versions do call parent::__desctruct()
removed obsolete include of init.php in external.php
added ZMUrlMapper to make response views configurable (via ZMController::findView(...))
removed some .htaccess rules that do not seem to work too well with commercially hosted sites (missing images and CSS) ... I'll think about replacements once I am not so tired any more
added console permanently to admin (rather than having it sitting in etc); you can always delete the file in admin if you do not want it...
made 'isEnableOB' setting obsolete as we need that in order for plugins to be able to access the page content
removed ZMCachedThemeView as this does not work with plugin page filters
moved ZMView from the rp.uip to the rp package, ZMEmailView from rp.uip.views.email to rp.uip.views;
change ZMView::getPage() to ZMView::getName(); this requires changes to a couple theme files

ZMCurrencies does not rely on zen-carts global $currencies instance any more
renamed ZMThemeView to ZMPageView
make product comparison form use GET rather than POST
added contact_us POST handling; there is no support for the recipient dropdown; also, the email template will not work when using zen-cart request handling
fixed ZMImageInfo and zm_absolute_href (thanks, Matt)
went over all =& assignements to get rid of most PHP5 deprecated messages

FWIW there is now an option to skip the strip phase generating core.php which makes reading the file easier (I was curious about the file size difference...)
added file changelog (added/modified/removed); this is based on the actual difference between release .zip files rather than CVS, so it should be actually useful
added setting to control which pages get SEO treatment
removed unused rewrite rules from .htaccess file
added new ZMZcoObserver as global observer of some zen-cart events where nothing else works
fixed wrong variable name in contact us controller

fixed broken account notification view
fixed wrong account notification checkbox names
another fix for multi value request parameter in zm_href(..)
includes zmConsole.php

Release 0.7.0

added about page
added optional PHP console; good for debuging, but a possible security issue, so it's distributed in the etc directory and needs to be copied manually into the zen-cart admin folder
theme code refactoring
moved getCurrencyId(), getLanguageId() and getLanguageName() from ZMRequest to ZMRuntime
theme info will inherit default settings
added zm_phpinfo() function that strips some of the original formatting
removed unneccessary echo from eval(..) calls
renamed Runtime::getApplicationRoot() to getContext()
ZMLoader::getStatic() now guarantees that local.php is the first item if it exists
locale settings are now also inherited from the default theme
changed default templates to use ZMDateRule to validate dates - the JS validation is now also more strict; this also means UI_DATE_FORMAT_VALIDATION is obsolete :)
refactored generic date parsing code into zm_parse_date(..)
excluded account, write and edit pages from page cache - this is a temp. solutions until I can come up with some proper config for this
fix zm_is_empty for arrays was doing the oppositve of what is expected
added better request dispatching code to allow for multiple theme switching => all ZenMagick globals are instantiated before, MetaTags and Crumbtrail may be overwritten with theme versions; same stays true for controller => switching is only supported in extra code, everything else is not defined => the switch will be done after *all* extra code has been loaded

added zm_htmlencode(..) wrapper to some more fields in product_info view and product images (alt/title)
added .htaccess rules to support Ultimate SEO URLs
integrated Ultimate SEO mod (based on version 2.103) into ZenMagick; this can be used as an alternative to ZenMagick's pretty links; There is also a new patch to enable/disable SEO - additional benefit, as there are no version specific zen-cart files required! SEO installer SQL has been updated and tested with MySQL 5.0.27
added zen_href_link replacement that allows pretty links to work for redirects as well
added dependsOn() method to installation patches
added still missing product_reviews view
the setting 'isEnableThemeDefaults' now controlls all aspects of theme defaults; this includes views, boxes, classes and l10n/i18n
all default views now use zm_format_address(..) to format addresses
reworked locale (l10n/i18n) handling, so using define(..) isn't a problem; this also means to split the theme loading from the request handling (which is actually good!) to be able to do theme loading during the init phase - otherwise zen-cart will have used up all the good defines :) This slightly changes the syntax in l10n and i18n files and breaks older themes. Advantage is that theme values are stored as variables and only once the final theme is determined are converted into defines thus allowing proper overwriting of values during theme switching and for fallback to default theme settings THIS BREAKS OLDER THEME LOCALE CODE
fixed merge option in language tool work and added include default theme option
added .htaccess files to restrict access to ZenMagick installation files
extracted page caching strategy into separate function (default); THe strategy can be changed by configuring an alternative function by setting 'pageCacheStrategyCallback'; signature is boolean callback()
modified l10n.php and i18n.php in demo theme to illustrate the changes in locale handling;
most patches now know how to undo
changed patch so no sidebox dummies are created for filenames including '.in.'

ZMSettings::get(..) now accepts a second parameter to set values; the return value is the old value or null

partly stripped ZMModel as the new validation code makes this obsolete (the implementation code will stay around until I find time to rewrite the update stuff)
