So, what's new in blojsom 2.18?

* Event and listener API - This is the biggest addition in functionality to blojsom. If you are developing components (dispatchers, fetchers, listeners, and plugins) for blojsom, then you can use this API to subscribe to and publish events to other components running in the system. Thanks to Mike Stanley (a new blojsom user) for proposing changes to this API early on that allowed us to hit the ground running with more functionality sooner rather than later.

As of blojsom 2.18, the only events published are added, updated, and deleted entry events from the entry administration plugin. The only events subscribed to are in the Weblogs Ping plugin which listens for those events and updates the weblog notification services defined in your blog properties.

In blojsom 2.19 and later versions, I'll be adding more published events and more listeners to act on certain events.

For more information, visit the event notification and listener API page on our documentation site.

* The Blogger, MetaWeblog, and Atom API extensions were updated with minor improvements in functionality.

* Improved functionality in some of the administration plugins.

* Improved security with the file upload plugin. The new functionality allows you define a set of file extensions for files that users cannot upload. This list defaults to .jsp, .jspf, .jspi, .jspx, .php, .cgi.

Why add this functionality? Users could potentially upload a malicious JSP file. Administrators might want to disable JSP compilation if you still want users to be able to upload JSP-related files.

* Fixed a couple of bugs.

Simply the best!
