## Important changes {#important-changes}

### The "hidden" checkbox looks different {#the-hidden-checkbox-looks-different}

Location and organizer records no longer spell out the system columns the
Core creates from the table's `ctrl` capabilities. One of them is
`hidden`, which now uses the Core default: an inverted toggle labelled
**Enable** instead of the previous **Hide**. It is the same
widget every other Core table shows, and it stores the same value.

### Events spanning several months are listed in every one of them {#events-spanning-several-months-are-listed-in-every-one-of-them}

A plugin whose **Event Restriction** is set to
**No constraint** shows events next to plain news records. Its month
and year range used to come straight from [EXT:news](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/news), which matches on the
start date alone:

```sql
datetime >= <first day of the month> AND datetime <= <last day of the month>
```

An event running from January to October therefore appeared in January and
nowhere else, because that is where it starts. Only **Only events**
used the range of this extension, which pairs the start date with
`event_end` and matches every month an event covers.

The two behave the same now, so an event is listed in every month it runs
through. In a calendar that is the point of the change, the event finally
shows up on the days it actually runs. In a plain list the same event now
appears in several months instead of one, which can push other records onto a
later page when the list is paginated or limited by
`settings.limit`.

Nothing changes for **Only events**, which already worked this way, or
for **No events**, which never looks at `event_end`. To keep the
old result for a single plugin, set it to **No events** and put the
events into a second plugin.

See [issue #198](https://github.com/georgringer/eventnews/issues/198).

## Features {#features}

### Address fields on location records {#address-fields-on-location-records}

A location record now carries a full address: street, ZIP, city, state,
municipality, country, phone and email, grouped in an **Address** and
a **Contact** palette. The country is a real country selection - TCA
type `country` on TYPO3 14, the same list built from the Country API on 13 -
and stores the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.

None of the fields are rendered by the shipped templates. They are meant for
your own templates and reachable through the matching getters on
`GeorgRingerEventnewsDomainModelLocation`, so
`{newsItem.location.city}` works right away.

See [issue #223](https://github.com/georgringer/eventnews/issues/223).

### Support for TYPO3 14 {#support-for-typo3-14}

One branch now serves TYPO3 13.4 LTS and 14. The month view runs on both:
`TypoScriptFrontendController` and the `frontend.controller` request
attribute were removed in v14, so `NewsController::monthAction()` reads
the page id from the `frontend.page.information` attribute instead. The
ViewHelpers and the administration module were adjusted the same way.

### Broken links in locations and organizers are reported {#broken-links-in-locations-and-organizers-are-reported}

The **Link** field of a location and of an organizer is now checked
by linkvalidator. Both fields always used TCA type `link` with a
`typolink` soft reference, which is the prerequisite, but linkvalidator
only looks at fields listed in `mod.linkvalidator.searchFields` \-
and that list was never provided, so broken links went unreported.

The extension ships the registration in `Configuration/page.tsconfig`, which
TYPO3 picks up automatically for every active package:

```typoscript
mod.linkvalidator.searchFields {
    tx_eventnews_domain_model_location = link
    tx_eventnews_domain_model_organizer = link
}
```

Existing broken links show up on the next run of the linkvalidator report or
its scheduler task. To leave a table out, unset it in your own page TSconfig.

See [issue #214](https://github.com/georgringer/eventnews/issues/214).

### Test suite and CI {#test-suite-and-ci}

The extension now ships a container based test runner,
`Build/Scripts/runTests.sh`, together with unit and functional test suites and
GitHub Actions workflows covering TYPO3 13 and 14. Relevant if you contribute;
`runTests.sh -h` lists what it can do.
