The announcements module is a basic module used for displaying news items on your site.
Just Released: Announcements 04.00.03
Minimum Required DNN Version: 4.7.0
This is a minor update for the Announcements module. An issue was found that would allow the edit pencils to be shown for unauthenticated users. The cause was found to be in a to broad check on edit permissions.
Also, in this release, two other minor issues were solved. Rendered links to linked content are now properly html encoded (making the module xhtml compliant), and a typo in the uninstall sql script which prevented the module to be uninstalled properly
Previous version: Announcements 04.00.02
Minimum Required DNN Version: 4.7.0
This is a minor update for the Announcements module. Notably most important is the fix for the issue with the Turkish "I", where uppercase I is a different character than lowercase i. See here for technical background on this issue: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973919.aspx#stringsinnet20_topic5.
Apart from this bug fix, this version also sees a few small but useful enhancements. The first one is that module admins can not change the default view of the announcements list from "current" to "expired", "future" or "all". The second one is that publish date and expire date can now be set time specific, which will allow module editors to more precisely decide when a specific announcement should be visible to visitors.
