http://cafelog.com/index.php b2 development site Mon, 17 Mar 2003 03:06:51 GMT http://backend.userland.com/rss092 m@tidakada.com m@tidakada.com en While all browsers support Last-Modified and ETag headers properly, MSIE seems not, it wouldn't let you refresh a page generated by b2 0.6.1. And that sucks, I know. Here is the fix: clickie! [1] (This fix will be included in the releases asap.) [1] http://tidakada.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1563#6988 http://cafelog.com/index.php?p=498&c=1 b2 0.6.1 is out, waiting for you to download [1] it! :) What's new:TrackBack 1.1 (adds compatibility with newer MT versions' TrackBack).RSS 1.0 (b2rdf.php) and 2.0 (b2rss2.php) feeds. For those who upgrade, writing to b2rss.xml is still supported but you're encouraged to just use b2rss.php.b2 now generates Last-Modified and ETag headers based on your last post's date (very useful for aggregators).Improved paged presentation when using next_post() and related tags.Clearer PingBack excerptsVarious bugfixes, as usual.Also, w.bloggar [2] 3 is out too!

This bug is there because of daylight savings, but there's a fix for it [1]! :) (Needless to say, that fix will be in the next version.) [1] http://tidakada.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1469#6371 http://cafelog.com/index.php?p=496&c=1 b2 v0.6 is out ! It halts a serie of pre-releases, fixing pretty much all the remaining bugs. As usual, downloads [1] are on Sourceforge. What's new:right-click bookmarklet for Windows IE users: just check your profile for this optionvarious 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 [2].

Check out the b2 downloads [1] on Sourceforge for the release. What's new:TrackBack [2] support (not MT's standalone trackback)Pingback [3] 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 entrysome new template tagsmany bugfixes...and more than could be listed :) [1] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=51422&release_id=112200 [2] http://www.movabletype.org/trackback/ [3] http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback http://cafelog.com/index.php?p=493&c=1 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 [1] about which PHP version you're using. Thanks in advance !

I really wish I had a Mac with OS X :P [1] http://www.webentourage.com/blogapp.php [2] http://www.webentourage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4 http://cafelog.com/index.php?p=491&c=1 Thanks to Mort [1]'s recent code contribution to b2, the next b2 release will support PingBack [2]. For those interested to help me test it, grab b2 from CVS and give these features a try. [1] http://mort.mine.nu:8080/b2/ [2] http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback http://cafelog.com/index.php?p=490&c=1 I wrote a small hack to list out the categories with their corresponding posts [1]. 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.

Talking about bandwidth, big thanks to the nice people who proposed hosting and lots of bandwidth, but I've already found a webhost ;) [1] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=51422 http://cafelog.com/index.php?p=488&c=1
