Mint v1.29 Released

Posted 10 May 2006 in by Sam Brown - 4 Comments

Three months after Mint v1.28 was released Shaun Inman has released Mint v1.29 which includes quite a lot of enchancements and upgrades.

In brief:

– Tightened up security around ?moved and the new ?import query commands
- Updated Visits table CSS to align numbers right for more context when scanning Do those Unique numbers now look too close to the center divide to you? Perhaps it will grow on me. Sam
- Added verifyDomain() method to Mint to prevent others from inflating your stats by hotlinking your Mint JavaScript include
- Added ?import to import aggregate Total/Unique Visits from another Mint installation into your current Mint installation.
- Updated mint.css to squeeze a few more pixels out of each pane (shaved off 3px of each side of a pane td, dropping 36px total from the Visits pane)
- Added ?gateway query command to test gateway connectivity (like having Step 4 of the Mint Server Compatibility Suite built-in)

You can read the full Change Log at the Forum.

Shaun has also updated the Default Pepper and Backup/Restore Pepper to v1.27 and v1.23 respectively.

– Updated Default Pepper (v127) to properly encode Page Titles when overrided with Mint_SI_DocumentTitle.
- Updated Backup/Restore Pepper (v123) to only attempt to detect old tables when viewing Preferences
- Updated Backup/Restore Pepper (v123) to detect and allow deleting of pre120_ tables left over from the update from Mint 1.14

Get yourself a copy of Mint v1.29 from the Account Center at haveamint.com. The Default & Backup/Restore Pepper are included in the Mint v1.29 package so be sure to upgrade those as well.

A couple of notes when upgrading to Mint v1.29

  1. Hard refresh your Mint install to make sure you are getting the latest version of the CSS file.
  2. Remember to upload the new Default & Backup/Restore Pepper but do not overwrite the Pepper directory like you do the app directory, otherwise you will lose all other Pepper.

I have to agree with you Sam. The new visits alignment looks odd. I think it would look better with the labels left aligned and the first column not so close to the “grey bar”.

I agree about the right align problem. I have to say they were easier to read with they were left aligned.

I’d say you guys are right about the inner column of numbers being too close to the right column in the Visits pane. Open up /mint/app/styles/mint.css and add the following around line 611:

td.left th.last-child,
td.left td.last-child
{
    padding-right: 12px;
}

This will be included in 1.3.

Ah, much better Shaun. Thanks for the quick fix. I enjoy the new visits style a lot more than the old one now.
