============================================================================== The Endeca Content Assembler API for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET GENERAL (1.0.1 Revision A) - Updated: October 13, 2008 - Revision A consists of an update to this release note file. The software has not changed since the 1.0.1 release. KNOWN ISSUES (1.0.1 Revision A) Documentation: - OE3066: In the "Generating see-all links" section of the Content Assembler API Developer's Guide for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET, the documentation states that "You can provide front-end users with a 'see-all' link to display the full results set of a record query." Instead of "record query" it should read "navigation query." The functionality to produce see-all links is not available for record queries in the Content Assembler API for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET. ============================================================================= GENERAL (1.0.1) - Release Date: October 2008 ============================================================================= BUG FIXES: (1.0.1) Content Assembler API: - OE2747: Text search and range filters are now applied in addition to refinement selections when the "Restrict to Refinement State" option is selected in the Record Selector. In addition, record filters are now respected for RecordList properties. Record filters are now applied by default, but this behavior is configurable on a per-property basis in the template. For details, see the Content Assembler API Developer's Guide for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET. - OE2664: An IProperty containing a record list value is now of a type that implements IRecordListProperty, a new public interface. An IRecordListProperty has additional public fields containing the corresponding NavigationCommand and NavigationResult that were used to generate the record list. These two objects may be used to create a link to the target record set in the application (or a "see all" link for the RecordList) in the application. For more information, see the Content Assembler API Developer's Guide for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET. Documentation: - OE2172: The program name in the Add or Remove Programs window has been corrected in the procedure for uninstalling the Content Assembler API for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET. ============================================================================= GENERAL (1.0.0) - Release Date: June 2008 - The release notes may have been updated since the release date. Access the Product Downloads section of the Endeca Support Center (https://support.endeca.com) for the most recent version of the release notes. The Endeca Content Assembler API provides an interface to access template-driven content for rendering in Web-based applications based on a user's navigation state or other triggers. The Content Assembler API for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET is made up of the following components: - Content Assembler API - extends the Endeca RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET to enable access to dynamic page content based on page configurations created in the Endeca Page Builder. - Reference application - a modified version of the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET reference application for use with the Page Builder and the Content Assembler API. The Content Assembler reference application provides a simple front-end interface that allows you to connect to an MDEX Engine and examine a record set as well as the content items that are returned by the Content Assembler API based on your navigation state. - Documentation - including the "Endeca API Reference for the Content Assembler API for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET" (an HTML help reference for the Content Assembler API for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET), "Endeca Content Assemmbler API Developer's Guide for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET" (CADevGuideRADNET.pdf), and this release note file. ============================================================================= PREREQUISITES (1.0.0) The Content Assembler API for the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET is compatible with Endeca Information Access Platform version 5.1.3 and the RAD Toolkit for ASP.NET version 1.1.0.
