Update: (24 May 2005) A third bug squeaked past the 0.1.1 release. Also related to AutoLinks, the third bug intermittently caused AutoLinks to add URL encoded characters to complex URLs.
The Fix: Open up /lib/lib_lace.php in your favorite text editor, and replace line 436 with the following.
$text = ''.htmlentities($urltext).'';
Or, if you're more comfortable making smaller changes, replace urlencode($url) with htmlentities($url).
Thank You
First of all, thank you to everyone who has stopped by to check out Lace. And thanks to Dion and Ben of Ajaxian, and all the fine del.icio.us folk for the unexpected exposure.
Lace 0.1.1
Lace 0.1.1 solves two issues related to the ability to post 'blank' messages. In the first issue, the HTML filter allowed a message to be created that was completey blank. A side effect of this was that names and message times were scrambled when displayed.
In the second, it was possible to create a 'blank' AutoLink. If link text was left out of the AutoLink message, its place was not being taken by the URL. So, for example, if the AutoLink messsage was simply http://www.google.com, the link text should have been http://www.google.com. Instead, no link text was created, and thus the link was 'blank' and unclickable (). This issue caused no side effects.
