Release Notes for Today's Load

Some exciting stuff is being made available with this load. I'm happy to announce a new feature that lets you search for feeds that contain a particular topic: this will help you build whitelists for searching and related content. Here's a direct link to it in Editor's Desk (you must be logged in): http://hosted.newsgator.com/ADMIN/Pages/EditorsDesk/RelatedContentSearch.aspx

We also fixed the bug that caused Facebook widgets to not have an "Add to Profile" button. As you may recall (from this post), Facebook made some changes which broke that feature, but we fixed it.

Admin

• Statistics Page - Better handling of custom attention events in separate columns.
• Widget Builder - Modified content preview for Related Content widgets to show topic/keyword/keyphrase info for source article, and to show topics for related posts.
• Facebook Wizard - Modified verbiage to match changes in Facebook's application editor.
• Related Content Search - New feature! Allows you to search for feeds based on a topic. Added to the Utilities menu.

Widgets

• Post Toolbar - Due to lack of adoption, the "Send to Mobile" feature has been removed for the time being.
• Statistics/Reporting - Fixed a bug that caused subordinate widget descendents to not log attention data.
• Search - Modified keyword search to return more relevant results.
• Widget Code - Modified HTML entity encoding behavior to more consistently handle foreign language characters.
• Facebook - Fixed a bug that caused the "Add to Profile" button to not appear when adding an application.
