After some tidying up, Pebble 1.6-beta1 is available to download from here. It includes a fair number of enhancements, but the key ones are as follows.

• Better logging with the combined log file format.
• The addition of a simple plugin API for decorating blog entries.
• Improved look and feel without so many popups.
• Early versions of deskblog and moblog.
• New Ant tasks.

I've updated lots of the documentation but I still need to update the docs for weblog to reflect the new features and UI. However, there is a page that briefly explains how to write and deploy a decorator if you want to have a play around.

As always, feedback is welcomed. I'll be writing some more blog entries in the next few days about the new release and some of the other new features.
