I have installed Cygwin yesterday and that'll allow me to run some basic Unix shell commands on my Windows boxes. As a result, future releases will be tarballed and gzipped, instead of zipped. That'll make smaller download size (.zip = 55kB, .tar.gz = 43kB), and will make it possible to just type tar -xzf b2.tar.gz in a terminal to unzip it.

Another possibility is bzip2 compression, but that's not readable by WinZip yet...

From now on I'm creating the images in the GIMP, so since that program can't save .gif files (I could install a fix but I don't have an UniSys license), all images will be of the .png format. Gif format sucks anyway.

What is b2 ?
A classy news/weblog tool (aka logware).

How does it work ?
You type something and hit "blog this" and in the next second it's on your page(s). You can write extended entries, or even entries that span multiple pages. You can also use BloggerAPI clients to post to your b2 weblog.
What's original in b2 ? Pages are generated dynamically from the MySQL database, so no clumsy 'rebuilding' is involved. It also means faster search/display capabilities, and the ability to serve your news in different 'templates' without any hassle.

Requirements ?
A server that can run PHP4, and a MySQL database (you can install b2 in an already existing database, and you can put several b2's in one database).

Where can I download it ?
b2 0.6pre4 is the latest public release. Check the releases folder for the different formats.
You can also visit the CVS server for the latest code, at your own risks.
See the ReadMe file for requirements and installation instructions.
