  BLOGMAN CHANGELOG ------- --------- Version 0.7 to 0.7.1 1 - Very quick fix to the Basic Option posting method. This resolves BugTracker issue 2727843. Version 0.6.1 to 0.7 1 - Changed the installation procedure completely. No longer does the INSTALL file exist. It has been replaced by install.php and doInstall.php which coordinate to produce a working install of BlogMan with some amount of customization. The primary purpose behind this was to allow for multiple side-by-side installations of BlogMan that exist independently of one another. 2 - Discovered MAJOR bug in leaveComment.php. The entire logic of the code was flawed to the point where a person who was banned from commenting could still comment simply by logging out. There were other problems with that code as well, and many of those problems were related to how poorly optimized the logic structure was. The entire logic of this page has been changed. I've done the same thing with doLeaveComment.php, the action page for this. 3 - Advertisement is now an option. There is a new control panel segment for it. You can enable/dis- able it and choose whether it should appear between blog entries. If it does appear between entries, you can set how many entries should appear between adverts. If it does not appear between entries, it will appear in its own <div>. There is now a stylesheet addition for div.ad. The ad code itself is 100% customizable for interaction with virtually any ad service. 4 - Fixed a potential security flaw where making a post would allow HTML and PHP data into the Title field. This could have led to malicious code injection. 5 - Implemented a very basic tagging system where tags can be associated with blog posts. Entry tags, bodies, and titles can now be searched upon. Version 0.6.0 to 0.6.1 1 - Resolved a problem (Bug Tracker #2693932) where the QuickLinks and QuickList DIVs would always show, regardless of the settings that were supposed to determine this. In the process, I changed a field in the database. `config_layout`.`ShowRecentList` has become `config_layout`.`ShowQuickList`, which is something I've been meaning to do for a while. All necessary files, including UPDATE and INSTALL, have been changed to reflect this. 2 - Resolved a problem where the UPDATE script didn't insert some fields that needed to be inserted due to the 0.6.0 database changes. The UPDATE script included in this release accounts for those changes and the single change mentioned in #1. The Bug Tracker number for this is #2655920. 3 - Bug #2655929 came about because I neglected to clean up the data in and permissions on the two *.rss files. This caused my personal blog's RSS data to be included in the release, and cause BlogMan to not be able to write over that. This has been resolved here. 4 - I have developed and released another stylesheet called blue.css. This is a style that is fairly plain, easy on the eyes, and resembles the Google Chrome color scheme. It is meant to be used with the "Show QuickLinks" option OFF. Version 0.5.5 to 0.6 1 - Discovered that read.php was still doing improper ordering of the QuickLinks. This has been remedied. 2 - As a Linux advocate and general Microsoft hater, I have been kicking myself for the past several weeks over the decision to use Calibri as a default font in the metal.css stylesheet. This has been fixed, with metal.css now prefering Tahoma (another Windows font, yes, but one that won't cost you $200+ to acquire). I have dealt physical punishment to myself over the Calibri decision, and I promise it won't happen again. My apologies. Also, the INSTALL script has been updated to make metal.css the default stylesheet. 3 - The Admin functions have been changed a bit. The general layout options that used to be on the main admin page have been shuffled off to a page of their own, generalAdmin.php. Meanwhile, admin.php was repurposed to show a list of admin options in menu style; it is now a portal to other admin options. 4 - The biggest change this time around is the addition of RSS feeds! I added a new table to the database to handle all of the settings for it (currently five settings), and have adjusted both DATABASE-SPEC and the INSTALL script accordingly. The STYLESHEET-SPEC has been left unchanged for this release, as it has nothing at all to do with RSS. There are two RSS feeds generated: one for the blog entries and one for all comments, across all entries. These are updated every time an entry or a comment is posted, and when you save the RSS settings. The files are blog.rss and comments.rss, and these files must have universal write access. 5 - Another big change was implemented which gives the administrator the option to disallow HTML tags in reader comments. This forces the blog to strip out all HTML and PHP tags that a commentor types in. This is a big step forward for usability, commonality, and security! 6 - To combat the removal of HTML tags in comments, BBCode interpretation has been implemented to a certain degree. As of right now, only six tags are allowed: bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, images, and hyperlinks. I will work on expanding this in future versions. 7 - The goals of this blog have changed. There will no longer be a mobile version available. I am stripping what little existed of that portion out of this release and all future releases. That may become a goal again in the future, but for right now, I'm focusing on making the app adopt the features of a traditional blog. The focus does NOT exclude the desire to make this blog perform faster than other mainstream blog apps like WordPress, which is a total piece of garbage that loads so incredibly slowly it's like you suddenly went back to dial-up internet. 8 - In response to Bug #2655366, doRegister.php has been modified to extract the BlogURL from the new config_rss table and use it in the registration email appropriately. Version 0.5.4 to 0.5.5 1 - Found a small handful of additional pages where the SQL statement for the QuickLinks wasn't sorting them by name and fixed them. This prob- lem was noticed and the fix began in the 0.5.3 to 0.5.4 conversion. The ones fixed here should complete this bugfix. 2 - Changed the metal.css stylesheet again, this time to reflect some fairly major changes to the style sheet spec. I've added some special classes of <input> and <textarea>. See STYLESHEET-SPEC (included in package) for details. Version 0.5.3 to 0.5.4 1 - Fixed a few pages where the SQL statement for the QuickLinks wasn't sorting them by name. This was leading to a little bit of jumpiness because the QuickLinks section would be alphabatized on one page (as it should be) and in a completely different order on another. The pages affected were mostly administrative. 2 - I realized that there were a few images in the img folder that I'd been using in my test implementation at home that (a) do not belong to me, and (b) are not images that really compliment the software. They were also bloating the final file size due to their uncompressability, so I deleted them in this version. The metal.png file, required by metal.css, is still there. Version 0.5.2 to 0.5.3 1 - Cleaned up massive amounts of bad code leftover from the 0.5.2 release that made four integral pages completely unusable. For this reason, all subversions prior to 0.5.3 within the 0.5 range should be considered invalid, defunct, unusable, and unstable. 2 - Discovered that the line beneath individual comments in metal.css were still green and dotted (leftover from the greenstyle.css file I'd used as a template). So I fixed that. Version 0.5.1 to 0.5.2 1 - Cleaned up some bad code leftover from the 0.5.1 conversion that drew two versions of the entire page on top of each other on about three or four different pages. This bug alone is reason not to use version 0.5.1. 2 - Resolved an issue where Internet Explorer did not interpret meta refreshes properly, sending site viewers into a perpetual refresh. This means that IE now renders the web code correctly (at least using the metal.css stylesheet). Color me stunned. Version 0.5 to 0.5.1 1 - Restructured the entirety of the blog's construct by adding core.php, which contains some basic, core functions of the software, like connecting to the database, gathering settings, and writing all the basic code before opening up the main <div>. 2 - During the process of #1, I have managed to clean up the code for the rest of the site. There were some pages where queries were still being echoed. That should all be more or less resolved by now. 3 - Added a stylesheet, metal.css, which is a gray, professional- looking stylesheet that is very organized. It prefers the Calibri font, which is shipped with Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007. It will fall back on other, more standard fonts. 4 - Just as a note, considering all of the other major changes which have taken place, neither the database spec nor the stylesheet implementation have changed at all. Version 0.45 to 0.5 1 - Resolved bug 2539112 where deprecated entries would still appear in the QuickList and the View All page. 2 - Resovled bug 2539234 where a word was misspelled on the Blog Administration page. 3 - Added functionality to deprecate blog entries and also undeprecate them.

That should all be more or less resolved by now. 3 - Added a stylesheet, metal.css, which is a gray, professional- looking stylesheet that is very organized. It prefers the Calibri font, which is shipped with Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007. It will fall back on other, more standard fonts. 4 - Just as a note, considering all of the other major changes which have taken place, neither the database spec nor the stylesheet implementation have changed at all. Version 0.45 to 0.5 1 - Resolved bug 2539112 where deprecated entries would still appear in the QuickList and the View All page. 2 - Resovled bug 2539234 where a word was misspelled on the Blog Administration page. 3 - Added functionality to deprecate blog entries and also undeprecate them.

  BLOGMAN CHANGELOG ------- --------- Version 0.5.4 to 0.5.5 1 - Found a small handful of additional pages where the SQL statement for the QuickLinks wasn't sorting them by name and fixed them. This prob- lem was noticed and the fix began in the 0.5.3 to 0.5.4 conversion. The ones fixed here should complete this bugfix. 2 - Changed the metal.css stylesheet again, this time to reflect some fairly major changes to the style sheet spec. I've added some special classes of <input> and <textarea>. See STYLESHEET-SPEC (included in package) for details. Version 0.5.3 to 0.5.4 1 - Fixed a few pages where the SQL statement for the QuickLinks wasn't sorting them by name. This was leading to a little bit of jumpiness because the QuickLinks section would be alphabatized on one page (as it should be) and in a completely different order on another. The pages affected were mostly administrative. 2 - I realized that there were a few images in the img folder that I'd been using in my test implementation at home that (a) do not belong to me, and (b) are not images that really compliment the software. They were also bloating the final file size due to their uncompressability, so I deleted them in this version. The metal.png file, required by metal.css, is still there. Version 0.5.2 to 0.5.3 1 - Cleaned up massive amounts of bad code leftover from the 0.5.2 release that made four integral pages completely unusable. For this reason, all subversions prior to 0.5.3 within the 0.5 range should be considered invalid, defunct, unusable, and unstable. 2 - Discovered that the line beneath individual comments in metal.css were still green and dotted (leftover from the greenstyle.css file I'd used as a template). So I fixed that. Version 0.5.1 to 0.5.2 1 - Cleaned up some bad code leftover from the 0.5.1 conversion that drew two versions of the entire page on top of each other on about three or four different pages. This bug alone is reason not to use version 0.5.1. 2 - Resolved an issue where Internet Explorer did not interpret meta refreshes properly, sending site viewers into a perpetual refresh. This means that IE now renders the web code correctly (at least using the metal.css stylesheet). Color me stunned.
