Lots of changes:
Many major changes in this release. The archive has now been split up into 2. One for code, the other for templates, images and skeleton files. Unless stated otherwise you shouldn't have to update the data archive at all when new releases are made.

New features:
Plugin support.
Major overhaul of the install process.
Added new Bluedash theme.

Please be aware that the bundled Smarty library has been updated to 2.5.0 which requires you to clear out your old cached and compiled templates. This is done automatically for you. Since this degrades performance somewhat, you the administrator will be mailed to remind you to remove the "clearing" code.

New in 0.4
==========
1. Major modifications to the install process.
* The installer will now check for incomplete installations, it'll stop
if you haven't copied the data directory in properly.
* It will check the database configuration.
* It won't reconfigure b2++ unless you delete the previous configuration files.
* I removed the b2InstallUser, this may be replaced by a hash value for security in the future.
* Database/table creation will silently fail instead of printing errors.
* A user with the same name as the weblog ID will be created.
* If you have register_globals off the installer will stop.
2. Comment posting has been fixed.
3. Problem with other users only seeing the root archives fixed.
4. Added bluedash theme.
5. Fixed some url errors in the templates.
6. Added Smarty templates to b2rdf.php
7. Fixed options bug. (Found by Andreas Banze.)
8. Moved data directory into a seperate archive.
9. Added Smarty plugin support, including 2 plugins.
10. Updated Smarty to the current 2.5.0 release. When Smarty is upgraded old cached files have to be cleared out. To make this as painless as possible I put those "clear" commands into smarty-config.inc.php
You'll be mailed a reminder to remove those lines once everything is working. The next release will not have these lines.

After fixing b2login.php so it has the right lines in it.
require_once($b2inc.'b2-include\b2template.functions.php');
require_once($b2inc.'b2-include\b2functions.php');
require_once($b2inc.'b2-include\b2vars.php');
Had this .
require_once($b2inc.'\b2template.functions.php');
require_once($b2inc.'\b2functions.php');
require_once($b2inc.'\b2vars.php');

Then when I got to b2login.php page I got this ?

Your SQL query:
SELECT * FROM WHERE user_login = ''

MySQL said:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'WHERE user_login = ''' at line 1

The new snapshot I just uploaded to http://cork.linux.ie/filemgmt/viewcat.php?cid=4 should catch more install errors. I also fixed a few more bugs, and added another plugin.

Candle - I don't think you have mod_rewrite enabled as I got similar errors until I enabled that. Take a look at the INSTALL file for the instructions to enable it. The same instructions now appear in your browser. Thanks for testing b2++ so much!

==========
1. Many changes to make things work with register_globals off.
2. Hide "root" from the url.
3. If b2 isn't configured then redirect to install page.
4. Removed timer() stuff.
5. Changed registration process - user is mailed the validation url now.
6. Hopefully the installer can catch when mod_rewrite is not installed now.
7. Fixed lots of links in the templates: categories, b2rss, login, new blog..
8. Added highlightsearch plugin: http://blogs.linux.ie/xeer/archives/p/89490286/c/1
9. This version has been tested and works in Windows. YMMV.
