New access denied module simplifies adding yourself to a site
October 2, 2012 at 3:23 pmI've pushed into the master branch of Reason a new "site access denied" module that lets users with privileges add themselves as a site editor (or pose as a site editor) to get quick editing access.
If you are a user with the "administrator" role, you can now go from a page you want to edit on the front end to an editing interface in a couple clicks, without a visit to the Master Admin site.

Logout timer rewritten to handle sleep
February 8, 2010 at 4:10 pmReason has a logout timer which helps people avoid the problem where they submit a form and lose all the submitted information because of a session timeout.
From user reports, we discovered that the timer was not handling the case where a computer would go to sleep.
The logout timer has now been completely rewritten and should work better while consuming less resources.
Loki Image Feed Order Changed
February 3, 2010 at 10:45 amThe feed that supplies images to the Loki HTML editor, has been altered slightly. It now returns most recently modified images first, and least recently modified images last. This should help users find the image they are looking for, as it is likely to be one they have recently added or edited.
