b2 0.6 (category: General)
b2 v0.6 is out !
It halts a serie of pre-releases, fixing pretty much all the remaining bugs.
As usual, downloads are on Sourceforge.

What's new:

right-click bookmarklet for Windows IE users: just check your profile for this option
various bugfixes: no more pingback glitches, file upload dialog now checks for duplicate files (and renames them accordingly), ...

Now all the work has shifted to 1.0 !
By the way, there's no big difference between 0.6pre5 and 0.6, so you only need to upload the new files (except the empty config and your templates, of course).

Update at 2:40 (gmt+1):
There was a last-minute bug in this release, that I just fixed.
For those who already downloaded 0.6, no need to re-download it, just apply this fix.

b2 0.6pre5 (category: General)
b2 v0.6pre5 is out !
Check out the b2 downloads on Sourceforge for the release.

What's new:

TrackBack support (not MT's standalone trackback)
Pingback support: Pingback is a new way to put the 'web' in 'weblogs', as it allows your blog to automatically notify other pingback-enabled blogs that you linked to them in an entry
some new template tags
many bugfixes

...and more than could be listed : )

Important Poll: which PHP version are you using ? (category: Development)
I'm at a stage where I have to decide whether to support old versions of PHP, with all the tricks and limitations this would involve, or use new features from PHP 4.1.x and newer.

So I need you to answer this important poll about which PHP version you're using.
Thanks in advance !

BlogApp 1.3 is out (category: General)
Tim Conner just released version 1.3 of BlogApp, a Mac OS X blog client, now with support for the b2 API (note: you need a little tweak in b2 for that, that will be fixed in the next b2 release).
I really wish I had a Mac with OS X : P

pingback in b2 (category: Development)
Thanks to Mort's recent code contribution to b2, the next b2 release will support PingBack.
For those interested to help me test it, grab b2 from CVS and give these features a try.

Listing Posts by Categories (category: Development)
I wrote a small hack to list out the categories with their corresponding posts. It's nothing big, but it may be useful for those who use b2 for galleries, tutorials, and such. b2-include/b2template.functions.php is the only file that needs to be edited.

downloads moved to Sourceforge (category: General)
For greater convenience (and, let's be honest, to save my bandwidth), the downloads have been moved to Sourceforge.

Talking about bandwidth, big thanks to the nice people who proposed hosting and lots of bandwidth, but I've already found a webhost ; )
