- Japanese localization is now part of iTop

1.2 Should I upgrade to 1.2.0?
---------------------------
- If you are manipulating big sets of data (several thousands of objects in one go)
- If you care about organizations or locations hierarchy
- If you speak/read Japanese
- If you already use JA-SIG CAS (www.jasig.org/cas) for example with a Liferay portal
Then you'll benefit from iTop 1.2 and it's probably worth upgrading.

---------------------------------------
The upgrade procedure has changed. We recommend you to copy the files of the new version must be copied to a
new directory. The updgrade will modify the database schema. This new schema is not compatible with the previous versions of iTop.
You can simply overwrite the files from the previous version with the new ones but we recommend that you copy the files of the new version to new directory.
After installing the files, you MUST run the setup by
1) Marking the file config-itop.php as read-write for the web server
2) Poiting you web browser to http://<your_itop>/setup
The updgrade will modify the database schema. Be aware that this new schema is not compatible with the previous versions of iTop.
If you are executing the upgrade on a production instance of iTop, it is a good practice to make a backup of the database and the configuration file (config-itop.php) prior to running the upgrade.
Step by step instructions:
1) Unpack the files contained in the zipped package, and copy the content of the "web"
directory in a directory served by your web server.
2) Point your web browser to the URL corresponding to the directory where the files

Localization
------------
Added Japanese translation, thanks to Tadashi Kaneda.
The Japanese translation was added, thanks to Tadashi Kaneda.
The German translation was updated by Stephan Rosenke

Minor changes
-------------
- Keywords in global search (Trac#130): you can type "server:dbserver" (without the quotes) and the global search will search for the text "dbserver" only on the class "server"
Improved import.php and synchro_import.php: added 'date_format' (example: %d/%m/%Y %H:%i:%s)
- When needed the drop-down list of organizations is replaced by an autocomplete
Templates: new type of block = sqlblock, allows for displaying tables/charts based in SQL queries (much quicker for some 'Group By' operations)
New implementation for displaying long lists: pagination
Added support of 'drill-down' (i.e on_click) on bar charts
Added drill-down capability to the SQL blocks
New feature: online help on search inputs (date format and operators) a tooltip appears when the user clicks a date/search field
Better (?) handling of object deletion issues during a data synchro...
#130: keywords to narrow the scope of the global search (e.g. server:webserver searches "webserver" only in the "server" objects)
Use the new HierarchicalKeys for Organization, Groups and Locations and use the hierarchy of organization for the profiles/user rights.
Added a new web service to create UserRequest tickets (similarly to Incidents tickets). Based on code from Vincenzo Todisco.
Bug fix: when changing the currently selected organization, go back to the initial (Welcome) menu instead of trying to stay on the same menu... which caused troubles (e.g. "New Contact" => assertion failed)
Improved error handling when loading linkedset as attributes in one go in CSV import
Don't make the Ticket's case log hidden in the 'New' state, since it's not hidden in the portal !
Better error message if the configuration file exists but is not readable
In CLI mode, do not depend on the current directory for synchro/import.php and synchro/synchro.php: the scripts can now be run from anywhere.
New module to easily manage attachments in one click instead of creating a separate 'Document' object. If this module is installed, portal users will create attachments instead of linked documents when uploading files with their ticket
Added a new type of 'Trigger': TriggerOnPortalUpdate, called when the end-user updates a ticket via the portal.
Bugs fixed
----------
The complete list of active tickets can be reviewed at http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/itop/report/1
#122 Optimized the load of data set (do not load unused columns, that can cause some tmp tables to get too big for memory)
#403 Partial installation not working (error on ticket form)
#404: context lost when doing certain actions. What was fixed:
- Run Query
- Display Data Model Schema
- Drill-down in charts (OQL & SQL)
- Paginated lists (actually a regression)
What remains:
- Global search...
- Drill-down in Flash "impacts / depends on"
#405 Could not install without the module 'User Request Management'
#408 Case log not working with PHP < 5.3 - the fix preserves the compatibility with installed version (but the dates are lost)
#410 Added translation for ticket status (and other enum fields) when displaying the History tab.
#415 Could not limit user on some organization (symptom: wrong queries... org_id does not exist...)
#420 Data synchro logs: increased the size of the attribute last_error
#422 (detection of magic_quotes_runtime)
#423 Fixed issues with application root URL = f(mode CLI, modules, web server techno, etc.)
#427 Unable to remove all items from a linkset when editing an object.
#424 Error when updating the Data Synchro statistics
#429: web browser can crash when a text field contains several times the same URL !!!
#433: Database triggers creation was incorrect when iTop was installed with a 'prefix' for the DB tables.
Dashboard templates: fixed issue with asynchronous mode (still some cosmetic issues) with itopblock and the table format
n:n wizard, context was lost when searching for objects of a derived class to be added.
'Apply stimulus multiple" was saying: "Please select at least one object"
Make sure that the flash object respects the z-order otherwise the hierarchy/organization picker appears behind the Flash in Chrome and IE.
Fixed issues when adding/removing modules during the setup:
- When adding modules: the data model was not refreshed in the cache before attempting to load "structure" (or "sample") data
- When removing a module: remaining (invalid) triggers were still used.
A title was missing for the menu 'All Opened Changes' at the top of the page
Fixed the parsing of OQL error messages: should be able to report the line number (usually 1) and the character where the error happened
Don't display an error (assertion failed) if the user selects nothing (i.e -- select one --) in the "CSV template" tab.
Performance Enhancements
------------------------
Do not load the full set of items when it comes to displaying an autocomplete!
Displaying 1000 object would take real long if many organizations are loaded into iTop (querying all the orgs for each object)
Cache the Count of items in an object set
Autocomplete = do not load every object when determining the list of matches
3.2. Known limitations (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/itop/report/3)
-----------------
#71 The same MySQL credentials are used during the setup and for running the application.
#257 Could not delete more than 997 items when SUHOSIN is installed with its default settings (See TRAC)
#265 Add reconciliations keys into CSV template
Internet Explorer 7 is not supported (neither IE7 nor IE8 in compatibility mode)
Internet Explorer 6 is not supported (neither IE7 nor IE8 in compatibility mode)
Tested with IE8 and IE9. Be aware that there are certain limitations when using IE8 in "security mode" (when running IE on a Windows 2008 Server for example)
