    • CmsFormMultiFilePicker (new) - A list control for selecting more than one file
    • CmsFormOptionList (new) - A new base class to support controls that need to build a list of options that are stored as XML (used by LinkBuilder and MultiFilePicker)
    • CmsFormRadioButtonSet (enhanced) - Supports passing a XML string (CmsFormItems) to define the radio options.
    • CmsFormSimpleCheckbox (new) - A single control that implementes a single checkbox

    • Classifications component has new overloaded method
      ReadAllClassifications(string adminCN, string password, string typeFilter)
    • WsktSecurityService has new method
      ReadAllClassificationsForType(short appID, string adminCN, string password, string typeFilter).
    • usp_GetAdminClassificationInfo stored procedure accepts optional parameter
      @typeFilter NVARCHAR(15)
  • XslBlockSupport.HandleInjectionParams supports component-based params that return XDocument objects
  • New Extension Methods in LinqXmlSupport
    • IsNullOrEmpty - An XElement extension to determine if an Element is null or its Value is an empty string
    • ExistsButEmpty - An XElement extension to determine if an Element is not null and its Value is an empty string
  • Database Performance tuning using SQL XML Schema Collection for standard "Docs Xml". When writing stored procedures or functions that use the standard docs xml, simply add the new type to the parameter/variable declaration. Examples:
    Stored Procedure/Function Parameters
    CREATE PROCEDURE usp_DeleteMyDocs @docsXml XML (TitanDocsXml) ...
    CREATE FUNCTION udf_ProcessTheseDocs (@docsXml XML (TitanDocsXml) ...)
    SQL Variables
    DECLARE @docsToExpand XML (TitanDocsXml);
    The XML Schema Collection accounts for the most common patterns for the DocsXml used in Titan. If you have custom attributes on the DocID elements, they will not be supported in the base Schema, and altering the schema requires the use of the RefreshDB.bat script that rebuilds the system's stored procedures and functions.
  • Database Performance tuning was implemented on the two commonly used Wkst Nav Tree stored procedures. The procedures were changed to trim out nodes that do not go into the Navigation Tree.
