Distributed Proofreaders R202002

Distributed Proofreaders is proud to announce the latest release of the code running at pgdp.net. This code has been used to produce tens of thousands of public domain eBooks for Project Gutenberg over the last 20 years.

Changes since R201903

In addition to the usual slew of bug fixes, tweaks, and refinements, the major changes since the last release are:

  • Updated minimum PHP version to 7.0
  • Create non-project database tables using default engine; for MySQL 5.5 and higher that is InnoDB. Project tables are still created using the MyISAM engine
  • Smooth Reading posting and download enhancements
  • More flexible Smooth Reading deadline extensions
  • My Projects page redesigned
  • New character picker with MRU menu
  • Added DejaVu Sans Mono as a web font and redesigned font selection in user preferences
  • Various updates and improvements to Format Preview
  • Updates to Post-Processing reminder emails and new navbar notification
  • Various Task Center improvements

Middleware version support

This is the last release to support MySQL versions before 5.5. MySQL 5.6.6 will be the lowest recommended version in the next release.

Multi-byte character support

This release is the last to support non-UTF-8 encodings, such as ISO-8859-1. The next release will use UTF-8 encoding for all site pages and project texts. Migration scripts will be available to transition existing sites.
