New plugins

• sfDoctrineActAsSerializable: provides Serializable behavior for columns to automate mapping serialized values for tables/models.
• sfNivoSlider: implements Nivo Slider integration with symfony.

Updated plugins

  • moved prototype inside forms. Removed it from view.yml
• apostrophe:
  • nonrecursive version of aFiles::rmRf needed more love to work properly
  • the new aMediaItemTable::addFileAsMediaItem method imports the specified file into the media library, converting the filename to a reasonable title
  • the aMediaImport class has been refactored to use the above method
  • getimagesize() calls in aImageConverter are now protected by @ so they don't spew warnings
• apostropheBlog:
  • app_aBlog_media_width now sets the width parameter to the standard areas used in single column blog slots
  • added the app_aBlog_popular_tags_limit and app_aBlog_tags_by_name options to maintain blog performance
  • avoid double escaping by using an actual UTF8 ellipsis rather than an entity escape sequence
  • sometimes events have missing dates and this crashes search results
