Changes since the last release. Download source and/or updates or Quickstart bundle. Upgrading instructions.

Here's what I've been up to since the latest release of blojsom. I've added 6 new plugins that improve on the overall functionality of blojsom. One of the interesting aspects of blojsom development has been with the plugins. When I looked at where my development has been focused, it's certainly been with respect to the blojsom plugins. Whether it's quick-posting with the Bookmarklet plugin or podcasting using the RSS enclosures plugin, you've got a well-defined way that you can add to the functionality of blojsom.

Right now we're up to 56 available plugins if you count the web administration plugins! And you really have to count 'em since they're an integral part of blojsom.

Next up is the blojsom user's guide since a lot of the documentation on the site is more developer-friendly. That still hasn't stopped the daily downloads for a system that offers all of this functionality in a package that's less than 2.5 MB!

Core

• The blog-base-url and blog-url are now optional parameters in /WEB-INF/(blog-id)/blog.properties. If either is not present, its value will be determined automatically.
• Added key to user's session when they are authenticated to their blog, BLOJSOM_USER_AUTHENTICATED.
• Added context variable, BLOJSOM_REQUESTED_FLAVOR which is a String that contains the requested flavor for the current request.

Extensions

• Added support for the MovableType API XML-RPC methods.
• Fixed Atom API support with ecto.

Plugins

• Added Bookmarklet plugin to allow you to post quickly to your blog from a popup window.
• Added All Entries plugin which makes available all of the entries in your blog to your templates.
• Added RSS Enclosure plugin which allows you to attach an RSS enclosure to an entry.
• Added Comment Moderation plugin allowing you to pre-approve comments before they are displayed.
• Added Trackback Moderation plugin allowing you to pre-approve trackbacks before they are displayed.
• Added administration plugin for Show Me More plugin to allow you to change settings for the Show Me More plugin from the web administration interface.
• Fixed issue with Markdown plugin where the execution string to run the Markdown plugin needed to be specified in web.xml as well as each blog's blog.properties file. The execution string now only needs to be specified in the web.xml as given in the setup instructions.
• Modified Abstract Visual Calendar plugin to determine days other entries were posted in the same month when requesting an individual entry.

Themes

• Fixed class in Asual theme asual.css for emoticons images. Changed to emoticons. This is the class the Emoticons plugin outputs in creating a link to the emoticon image.
