« Etnies | Main | Gin Kiss »

blojsom 2.21 (Codename: Chopin) - Released November 24, 2004

A special thanks to the folks, Philon Terving, Youngho Cho, and Robert Buren, who have volunteered so far for the localization effort. This release bundles German (from Philon), Korean (from Youngho), and Swedish (from Robert) localizations. Check those links for previews of what the administration interface looks like localized.

Changelog (with links). Upgrading to 2.21. Download source code and/or updates. Download the Quickstart bundle. Bugs fixed.

Core

Added format(String pattern, Object[] arguments method to ResourceManager interface. This method is a wrapper for the java.text.MessageFormat#format(...) method.
Added getBlogLocale() and getBlogAdministrationLocale methods to Blog class.
Changed default extension for entries written using XML-RPC and Atom to use .html instead of .txt. You can change your default by changing the blog-xmlrpc-entry-extension property in your blog.properties file.
Added blojsom-installed-locales parameter to blojsom.properties. This setting is a comma-separated list of the installed locales used to localize the administration console. If not present or blank, this setting defaults to en_US.
Added blog-administration-locale to blog.properties. This setting is used to indicate the localization setting for a blog when viewing the administration console. If not present or blank, this setting defaults to en_US.
Implemented save and delete methods on FileBackedBlogCategory.

Extensions

Updated XML-RPC handlers and the Atom API handler to use titles of blog entries as the permalink name. If the title is not present, a GUID is generated.
Patched XML-RPC library to correctly handle UTF-8 for remote editing via XML-RPC.

Languages

Added German, Korean, and Swedish localizations for the web administration interface.

Plugins

Updated RSS Enclosure plugin to explicitly add the following mime type mappings.
audio/x-mpeg mp1 mp2 mp3 mpa mpega
audio/x-mpegurl m3u
Updated Send Email plugin and Moblog plugin to allow for SMTP authentication either via a JNDI context or a supplied username and password.
Fixed double encoding in Entries Administration plugin and Trackback Auto-Discovery plugin.
Updated Entries Administration plugin to use the title of the post as the entry name instead of the cryptic auto-generated ID scheme previously used. You can still override the entry name using the "Proposed name" field when adding a new blog entry.
Updated Entries Administration plugin and Bookmarklet plugin to use titles of blog entries as the permalink name. If the title is not present, a GUID is generated.
Updated Moblog plugin to use subject of e-mails as the permalink name. If the subject is not present, a GUID is generated.
Updated Properties Administration plugin to allow user to choose among installed languages for localization of the administration console.
Improved page for editing blog entries to display select list for language and country codes available on the current installation. NOTE: These are Java Virtual Machine (JVM)-specific and may differ between JVMs.
