[TYPO3-dam] DAM 1.1 beta01 for download

I planned to make a release last week, but unfortunately I was a bit ill and a 
few things were half finished, so I couldn't publish it.

I call this version a beta, although it does not have all features and the 
code review is not fully finished. Nevertheless it's working and shouldn't 
have serious bugs unless I build some in in the last days.

Installation:
It might be needed to call the upgrade function in EM. This is NOT 
the 'Update' button you see in the detail view but the 'UPDATE!' menu entry 
in EM select menu when you're in detail view of the dam extension. If the 
menu entry is not there, all is fine.


Main new features:

* Actions (delete, edit, ...) are used in all modules now and can be 
en-/disabled by tsconfig

* Multi actions are introduced. Have a look in the list moduleand 
enable 'Display batch edit options'. You see a bar at the bottom of the list 
that allows to process file delete (and other's) on a bunch of files.
Multi actions are not hardcoded, they can be added by extensions like other 
actions too.
(I know that a lot of functions are missing and it's needed to provide them in 
file module too)

* Context menu's are working now and use actions too. This means the action 
for record editing is implemented once and will be available in lists module, 
in thumbs module and in context menus.

* Auto indexing fetches a setup from the current folder or parent folders to 
start auto indexing. A tools module is provided to created and save a setup. 
This mean uploading into a folder with a indexing setup that has categories 
set, will index the file with those categories.

* Demo Plugins available. A few Plugins are available that shows how to use 
the API from frontend. Espacially indexing from FE was requested. Have a look 
in the code: it's just one line!

* Generally dozens of bugs were fixed and the code were cleaned up heavily. 
Currently there are 50 unit tests which helped to find low level bugs. The 
API provide now functions to make common tasks easy like indexing, file 
delete, etc.


Known bugs:
In the file module the edit record action is always deactivated


Todo's:
* Implement multi actions in file module
* Implement missing multi actions like file move, etc.
* More unit tests
* Implement missing TCE and process_* functions
* TSconfig options to enable/disable features
* File edit framework. This should be a framework to implement file edit 
actions. Currently there's an extra extension to allow text file editing as 
workaround.
* Documentation

One more thing on the todo list is the clipboard, but I think it will not make 
it into the 1.1. Just too much work. But we'll see.


In the works:
* XMP meta data service
* WebDav file service on top of DAM
* Secure download framework (component based and exchangeable)


Have a nice day
