Feed Description: My thoughts on Java, software development and technology.
It's taken a little longer than I wanted, but Pebble 2.1-RC1 is available to download from SourceForge. The major changes are the Ajax comment previews, user configurable private blogs and the new theme templates. Here's a summary of everything.
Fixed problem with local characters and HTML entities in comments.
Added ability to get newsfeeds for private blogs via HTTP Basic authentication.
Tweaks to bundled themes.
Added support to upload multiple files at once (in the file browser).
Fixed problem with ampersand character being escaped in website URLs when adding comments.
PEBL-8 : Image option in Blog properties does not work
Added Hungarian translation, provided by Zoltan Levardy.
Fixed broken link in plugins help page.
First version of Ajax comment system.
Added some Scriptaculous effects.
Added support for sup and sub tags in allowed HTML for comments.
Fixed problem in blog entry/comment/TrackBack body truncation code to prevent truncation occurring in the middle of a HTML entity.
Added an "about" property to blogs and a sidebar component that displays this content.
Added generic feed reader sidebar component.
Added ability to clone blog entries.
Added ability to make a blog private, without needing to modify the Acegi configuration.
Fixed "Number of blog entries in sidebar cannot be set to 0" bug.
Added username/password labels to the login sidebar component.
Fixed problem with archives in sidebar to prevent dates way back in the past being displayed.
Most things are straightforward enough and covered in the online help. There are a couple of things to be aware of though.
Pebble's configuration settings are now specified in the /WEB-INF/pebble.properties file instead of /WEB-INF/applicationContext-pebble.xml file.
For those of you using your own theme, you'll need to take a fresh copy of the default theme and customize it. The new theme layout is pretty much what I blogged about here although there have been a few minor changes. See the online help for the most up-to-date information on this, including a list of all the sidebar components and their parameters.
As always, please use the pebble-user mailing list for support and send over your feedback if you have any.
