Features:
39
Major features to watch out for in addition to the bug fixes associated with the release and which in turn need to be tested include the following:
40
1. Translations: Ushahidi translations are now managed through Transifex. The localizations will be shipped with code releases starting from 2.6. The language selections will be added on the language menu. Several other languages have been added and they total to 38 languages. To test this feature select each of the available languages in the language menu, and explore the platform to see what changes and if anything breaks. Report the results and any suggestions are welcome.
41
2. Zooming Controls: Openlayers has been upgraded to 2.12. Some of the features to look out for with the new version include kinetic dragging -> http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/kinetic.html
, animated planning http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/animated_panning.html -> http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/animated_panning.html , zoom transitions -> http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/transition.html / http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/google-v3.html . To test this feature: 1. login to admin panel, 2. go to settings/map tab and select a map provider, eg OSM Mapnik, 3. go to the home page in the front end. Zoom in and out of the map and test the above mentioned features. Keep an eye on the following when dealing with reports layers on the map: a) delay on load, b) there should be no reload on zoom except when clustering
42
3. Reports Upload/Download: This feature has been reworked and a few other features have been added to it. What to test here: 1. Uploading of custom forms- Custom form field responses can now be imported via CSV. Each form field is identified as a column and values imported. For checkboxes, user options should be separated by commas. 2. Case sensitivity- Previously, csv content in lower case would not be recognised and would cause upload failure, forcing users to adhere to uppercase content for particular fields. Users can now upload content regardless of what case the csv content is in. Added support for upload/download of Incident reporters - Users can now download and upload Names and email addresses of incident reporters. 3. Compatibility issues with CSV files generated by non UNIX systems. 4. Streamlining of upload success UI. Before --> http://i.imgur.com/xXHVf.png After --> http://i.imgur.com/GTFtZ.png
