Pebble 1.5-beta3 is available to download from here and changes from beta2 include the following.
PEB-81 : more flexible/configurable and informative multi-user index
PEB-101 : Leave the "save as field" blank
PEB-121 : Multi-user search
PEB-122 : Tidy up previewing of blog entries and comments
PEB-123 : Tidy up admin panel
PEB-125 : Export of blog via RSS/RDF/Atom
PEB-126 : Update documentation
PEB-127 : Add ability to edit multi-user blog properties via web
interface
Providing nothing major gets reported, this is pretty much the 1.5 final release (give or take a few doco tweaks). If you've built a theme in beta2, please be aware that template.jsp and blogEntry.jsp have changed slightly. Other than that, everything should work as is.
A few people have asked why you have to specify the blog.url parameter in the web.xml file and the answer is because it helps to make your permalinks permanent - particularly important if your blog can be reached via more than a single IP address/hostname. However, something I have done is made Pebble deployable "out of the box" by providing some defaults in the web.xml file. Blog entries will be stored in ${user.home}/blog/, blog.url is blank and blog.multiUser is set to false. In other words, if you want to try Pebble out, it really is as easy as deploying a WAR file.
Pebble ... the fastest Java blogger around and the easiest to deploy? Maybe.
