Geeklog - The secure CMS. / News: Recent posts

Geeklog 1.7.0 has been released. It adds support for PostgreSQL, addresses usability issues with expired CSRF tokens, and includes many additional minor improvements.

Geeklog 1.6.1 is a recommended update for all users of Geeklog 1.6.0. In addition to bugfixes, it also introduces new features such as support for meta tags, support for timezone settings per user, the ability to have one featured story per topic, embed polls in articles, and more.

Geeklog 1.6.0 includes the results of our successful students from the 2008 Google Summer of Code (site migration, plugin upload, improved search, and various comment improvements) as well as the new XMLSitemap plugin, FCKeditor 2.6.4.1, and more.

Geeklog 1.5.2 is a maintenance update in the 1.5.x series, addressing some bugs but also adding some minor new features. For details, please see http://www.geeklog.net/

We have been made aware of security issues with Geeklog 1.3.7sr1 (and older versions), one of which actually opens up the possibility to gain Admin control over a Geeklog site. We are therefore releasing Geeklog
1.3.7sr2 and strongly recommend that you upgrade to that version as soon as possible.

Please go to http://www.geeklog.net/ for details and download links.

Geeklog, a very capable weblog/blog/CMS-type system, is now on version 1.3.7. This release focusses on bug fixes but also adds some minor new features, like email notification for new submissions, and configuration options.

Geeklog, a very capable weblog/blog/CMS-type system, is now on version 1.3.3. This release adds support for future publication dates for articles and rudimentary database back up support. There have also been a number of bug fixes including one minor security related issue.

Geeklog, a very capable weblog/blog/CMS-type system, is now on version 1.3.2. This release focuses primarily on bugs. This will, more than likely, be the last 1.3.x release with any significant feature enhancements. We will release other bug fixes in the 1.3.x tree, however. The Geeklog development team has begun development on version 1.4 which will consist of a database redesign and rewriting a fair amount of code. You can expect 1.4 to live by the Geeklog mantra of security and speed!

Ok, the talk is over. Get your copy of Geeklog v1.3 today!

Because of the recent changes to the geeklog-1.3 CVS tree the plugins will no longer work in Geeklog. I will go through each plugin this weekend and change them to use the new config variable names. Until then I apologize for the inconvenience.

If you are a bit adventuresome, we have the static pages plugin available at the plugins website, http://sourceforge.net/projects/geeklogplugins. This lets you create semi-static (they are stored in the DB) pages that are still also searchable. You create the page via the admin interface and then after saving you can get the URL for the page you created from the static page listing and past it into an anchor tag where ever you'd like!... read more

Yep folks, the Geeklog website is now located here on sourceforge. Until we get the DNS stuff sorted out, the current URL is http://geeklog.sourceforge.net. The old URL is still working, but that site will be phased out once we sort out any of the problems.

You can get plugins for Geeklog at the new plugin site at http://sourceforge.net/projects/geeklogplugins

You must use a beta copy of Geeklog 1.3 from CVS for plugins to work and it is not recommended for production sites.

There was a nasty bug in moderation.php that would delete all records in the storysubmission table. Geeklog 1.2.5-1 fixes this bug

1.2.5 will be the last production release of the 1.2.x series so all GL users are encouraged to upgrade. 1.3 will bring the addition of plugins, themes and improved security along with other, smaller enhancements such as complete control of block layouts.

Geeklog 1.2.4 has just been released.

Baring any major bugs, Geeklog 1.2.4 will be the last release of the 1.2 codebase.

We are now moving onto our next major release, 1.3. This version should include 100% plugin support, as well as a new install system, and the movement of 99% of the configuration to a web-based system.

See the release for more details

A number of bug fixes, added google-like paging functionality, updated docs
