· Plugin classes must register to auto-loading classes map
· Plupload examples allows to upload files w/o any authentication
Dependencies and Upgrades:

· liveuser table UName can no longer be null after upgrade from 3.5 (this made it impossible to register)
· Use of composer to handle dependencies.
· Remove Doctrine from library directory as it is now handled via composer.
· Added strict error reporting in MAMP
· Proxy generation now works for entities out of library/Newscoop/Entity
July 13th, 2012· Newscoop now works correctly with PHP 5.4.
· Hidden filter in comments management now only displays hidden comments.
· Comments are no longer approved by default, even though moderation is enabled.
· Related articles are now copied from original article with the action 'duplicate'.
· Related articles for a translated article no longer have title 'null'

June 19th, 2012· We zapped a critical bug preventing users inserting images and attachments into an article via the tinymce editor. It wasn't affecting all users, only some special set-ups, but it was a common problem in the forums.
· It's now possible to correctly merge article types. It's not a widely used feature yet, an important one and we wanted to take care of it. Fixed!
· Due to a bad SQL query, in some special cases (and for languages like Georgian), the Issues in the admin interface were disappearing. That's not good, so we fixed that pronto.
· Due to another SQL problem (missing field in database) it was not possible to add authors to articles (or list the already attached in case of an upgrade). It is now.
· Saving a template in the themes manager for the first time no longer throws an Internal Server Error.
May 20th, 2011· A couple of issues relating to user permissions and selecting articles have been dealt with, but perhaps the most significant improvement relates to searching for content in translated issues. Search now pulls up all content from translated issues meaning it’s easier than ever before to manage multilingual sites.
· Improvements to the TinyMCE editor performance mean article creation is now more stable. Reported bugs involving the HTML button unnecessarily cleaning code for embedded objects and an occasional failure to save content were identified and zapped. Upgrading also no longer creates an occasional error in the TinyMCE editor.
· Newspapers interested in freemium, paywall or enhanced content models will be pleased to know ReCaptcha for Newscoop’s subscription feature is now implemented - bye-bye bots! Blog listings (blogs, entries, comments) were also improved with new pagination and a link to blog entries list added to make finding content easier.
· Finally, install, login, backup and restore - the cornerstones of your system engineer’s happiness - all continue to be improved in an effort to make everything on the backend safer and easier to use.
