Hi! I've been working lately on getting the new release, 0.3, ready. And all I = can=20 say is that it's looking good. Has anybody by any chance tested it? I was=20 thinking about making a test/beta release soon... would there be anybody=20 interested in testing it? So far nobody has tested and I'd really like to=20 know how things feel to somebody else than me and my opinion... Some of you= =20 helped me a lot when preparing 0.2 so it would be great to count on you aga= in=20 :) =46rom what we discussed some time ago, these are the features that have be= en=20 included in this new version: =2D Time offsets (not really time zones but it was the easiest solution) =2D Updated the htmlarea component to its latest version =2D Added security features: - Blocking of ip addresses (with some help from Brian) - Content filtering (for preventing spamming)=20 =2D Management of images, videos and other files (idea and design by Matt) - Every blog can upload its own files, images and videos - Automatic creation of thumbnails using GD or ImageMagick (more can be ad= ded=20 anytime, I just didn't know of any other tools) - Possibility of creating albums with pictures, with a comment or descript= ion=20 associated to every picture. - As much information as possible is shown for every file =2D XMLRPC plugin will now be part of the main package, instead of being a= =20 separate plugin (thanks to kEMAr) =2D Added a nice javascript-based date picker =2D Enable/Disable comments on a per-post basis =2D We can now select which categories to show in the main page =2D Some bugs have been fixed =2D Different formats of RSS feeds available (0.92, 1.0, 2.0, raw XML and=20 Klipfolio) =2D Each category can have its own RSS feed (using any of the formats above) =2D The admin interface should be a little faster now (thanks to a suggesti= on by=20 kEMAr) Of all the things discussed here, the only one that hasn't been included is= =20 the spell checker. Mike, I checked the code you sent me implementing a spel= l=20 checker in PHP... the code was fine but there is a problem: the dictionarie= s=20 used by it are custom made and we would have to provide it with every=20 language packe, so that if pLog is translated to Spanish, it would make als= o=20 sense to provide the Spanish dictionary and so on... It's quite difficult t= o=20 find translators, let alone asking them to prepare a dictionary :) If there's anything else that I've missed, there's still some time to take= =20 care of it... otherwise, wait until development for 0.4 starts since there = is=20 plenty of room for improvement specially in the gallery section (I don't li= ke=20 long release cycles so I purposefully left some features for next version) Comments are welcome :) Regards, Oscar. |
