<![CDATA[
There is a patch for Bloo version 1.10 that is necessary if you are getting
nasty errors when upgrading from Bloo version 1.00 to 1.10. Basically, the
patch fixes a problem that occurs for webhosts that do not have <a
href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php"
target="_blank">gpc magic quotes</a> turned on by default.<br /><br
/>You&#39;ll know you have the error if you get something that looks like
this when you run the upgrade program:<br /><blockquote> SQL Error: You
have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that<br /> corresponds
to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near<br />
&#39;&#39;Page.sidebar&#39;&#39; at line 6:select o.overlay_id ,o.syntax
from vl_overlay<br /> o where o.syntax like &#39;%Post.form.search%&#39;
and deleted_flag = &#39;N&#39; and<br /> o.name = &#39;Page.sidebar&#39;
<br /></blockquote>Installing the patch and re-running the upgrade will
fix the problem. The patch is relatively small - just two files.<br /><br
/>You can download the patch <a
href="https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=160870&amp;package_id=181029&amp;release_id=603431"
target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />

<![CDATA[
For those of you on version 1.00 that have installed Patch 2, please avoid
creating new themes within the system (i.e, don&#39;t create table-based
themes). A problem has been discovered that will cause the blog not to
initialize if you create a new theme.<br /><br />This has been fixed and
the fix will be in the next release of the software (1.1) coming soon. In
the meantime, if you run into a problem after creating an on-the-fly theme
within Bloo, you can get back up and running by manually deleting the new
theme from the snap_on table.<br /><br />If you need help, leave a message
<a href="http://outofthebloo.com/?contact_administrator=1"
target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />Again, this only affects you if
you&#39;re on Bloo version 1.00 patch 2.<br /><br /><br /><br />

Bloo version 1.00 Patch 2 has been released to resolve some known security
holes in Bloo. If you are a Bloo version 1.00 user, this patch is highly
recommended (note: it is <em>only</em> for version 1.00). You can download
the patch, in either zip or tgz format, <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=160870&amp;package_id=181029&amp;release_id=571192"
target="_blank">here</a>. Just click on bloo.v.1.00.patch02.zip or
bloo.v.1.00.patch02.tgz.<br /><br />(for more information on the
already-released patch01, click <a href="/?post_id=67">here</a>)<br /><br
/>In other news, work on Bloo version 1.1 is movin&#39; right along.
Expect the new version to be released soon!<br /><br />

An error was found in the default Page.sidebar overlay that comes with
version 1.00 of Bloo. The fix for this is trivial, and there is now a
patch available (bloo.v.1.00.patch01) that will fix it, <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=160870&amp;package_id=181029&amp;release_id=571192">here</a>.<br
/><br />Note: If you are an upgrader who has already customized
<strong>Page.sidebar</strong>, most likely you already have a good View
Recent Comments link in your sidebar, so you may not need the patch. For
new installers, the patch is necessary; you can also just customize your
sidebar and fix the View Recent Comments link manually (go to Look and
Feel, Overlays, and find and edit Page.sidebar in the Custom category)
rather than bothering to download and install the patch.<br /><br />The
problem was due to some quotes in the href for that link that were
inadvertently left as html entities in the overlay.<br /><br />Also in the
patch a small problem with the Last Published Date in the Comments RSS feed
is fixed.<br /><br /><br />

This is the big one . . . the first full Production release of Bloo! You
can download it <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=160870"
target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />Here&#39;s what&#39;s new in this
release:<br /><ul><li>Commenters on the blog can now edit their most
recent comment after posting it. This ability lasts for several
minutes</li><li>The Private post type was created, allowing posters to
create posts that can only be read by logged in posters or
administrators.</li><li>The Popular Posts extension now can have a
specified time-window wherein it measures comment activity (rather than
always just measuring for the life of the post)</li><li>The blog now
includes a &ldquo;Lost your password?&rdquo; feature, to allow users who
have forgotten their password to get a new one.</li><li>Now posters can
create static pages, which are like posts but don&rsquo;t display a date
stamp and can only be displayed by going to the static page&rsquo;s
permalink URL. In other words, static pages don&rsquo;t roll along in the
normal post stream. This feature is useful for creating more
&ldquo;timeless&rdquo; pages, such as an &ldquo;About Me&rdquo;
page.</li><li>The Bloogroll can now recognize a constant set in an overlay
that specifies which Bloogroll categories to display. The constant is
bloogroll_category_list, and is set in an overlay (usually Page.sidebar)
using this syntax: _=bloogroll_category_list=Category 1,Category 2=_,
substituting, of course, the real categories you want to display for
Category 1 and Category 2</li><li>Created the Contact extension, which
allows the blog to have &ldquo;Contact Me&rdquo; and &ldquo;Contact Post
Author&rdquo; links which will display forms through which users can send
email messages to the blog administrator(s) or a post author without
knowing the recipient&rsquo;s email address</li><li>Added links for
&ldquo;Older Entries&rdquo;, &ldquo;Newer Entries&rdquo; on the Post
display page to allow for navigation to older and newer posts.</li><li>The
permalink for posts is now, by default, on the post title, rather than the
post time.</li><li>Created the &quot;Favorite Posts&quot; SnapOn, which
allows the administrator to show a list of his/her favorite posts from the
blog.</li><li>Created a Comments RSS feed.</li><li>Created versioning in
the system, which Bloo uses to detect when an upgrade is
needed.</li><li>We now have a new Bloo logo!</li><li>Created a Trackback
Send form, for sending trackbacks to other blogs.</li><li>Form navigation
is now smoother as the first field on most forms is now in focus by
default.</li><li>Changed the display of the &ldquo;Everyone&rdquo;
security role to the more appropriately named
&ldquo;Guest&rdquo;</li><li>Renamed the &ldquo;snapons&rdquo; directory to
&ldquo;core&rdquo;, for clarity&rsquo;s sake.</li><li>Removed the Remote
Blacklist Spamicide extension SnapOn from the core release. Never much
liked how this one worked (too many false-positives)</li><li>Fixed a
security vulnerability in Comments editing</li><li>Fixed a problem with
Post categories that have apostrophes in them (they were blanking out when
the post was re-edited).</li><li>The Bloogroll category drop-down was
getting confused when the Category ID was greater than 10. This is
fixed.</li><li>Fixed problems with the RSS feed that caused it not to
validate in certain feed readers.</li><li>Fixed alignment problems in the
post form when their were no post form extension snapons (such as
Quicktags) enabled.</li><li>Fixed a problem in the Lag Time Spam Checker
extension snapon that was causing it to fail when checking
trackbacks.</li><li>Numerous other internal fixes and
improvements</li></ul>You can read the detailed release notes <a

target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />Below are the features and bug fixes
included in this release:<br /><br /><u>Features</u><br /><ul><li>Multiple
Category Tags. Now a post can be filed under multiple categories. This one
was long overdue . . .</li><li>Modified the post changes protector
extension to handle changes to the post category.</li><li>Redesigned the
layout of the post admin and post display. In particular, made changes to
accommodate multiple categories</li><li>IP Blacklist - yet another Spam
fighting SnapOn for Bloo. This one allows you to blacklist certain IPs so
they can&#39;t leave comments or send trackbacks</li><li>Multiple comment
protection. In the past, people who were too quick on the Submit button
might see their comment hit twice. This has been fixed.</li><li>Reworked
the ThemeSelector so that the admin can select which themes he/she wants
to be in the rotation. This is important because in the past, all themes
showed up, even &quot;Bloo Base&quot;, which isn&#39;t a very presentable
theme.</li><li>Added capturing of the create and modify user id to the
comments and post tables. Now we can see who did what.</li><li>Made some
general improvements to the phoo base foundation classes</li><li>Date
formats are now configurable by the admin. Now the admin can set the date
format for the post date, post time, and comment time display. In
addition, moved Post, Comment date formats and display settings to the
Look and Feel section. Just seemed more natural.</li></ul><span
style="text-decoration: underline">Bugs Fixed</span><br /><ul><li>An
ampersand in a post title screws up the RSS feed. This has been
fixed.</li><li>When comments are sent to moderation, the user is not
notified. Instead, they are just told &ldquo;Thank you for your
comment&rdquo;. This has been resolved</li><li>Those with
&ldquo;Everyone&rdquo; status don&rsquo;t have any real access to the
admin panel. Fixed. Now they see a minimal administration panel, which
basically just gives them the ability to edit their profile</li><li>Error
messages on login are very plain. Made &#39;em look nicer</li><li>Simple
Human Check display doesn&rsquo;t start on its own line. Now it
does.</li><li>CommentFloodQuery was not working. This has been
fixed.</li><li>Upon upgrade or install, SnapOn and Theme lists were not
shown in alpha order. They are now.</li><li>First quote in Bloo Quote was
not being selected as current upon entry of that quote into the system.
Fixed.</li></ul>You can view the detailed release notes <a

A bug was discovered in the BlooQuote snapon that basically freezes it at
the first quote - in other words, doesn&#39;t roll forward through the
daily quotes - when you upgrade to release candidate 1.<br /><br
/>There&#39;s a patch coming out for that. I&#39;m going to test it here
first.<br /><br />Also - multiple category tags are coming! Been working
on the interface . . .<br /><br />

<![CDATA[
The first production release candidate of Bloo, version 1.00, has been
released. You can download it <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=160870"
target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />While it certainly doesn&#39;t
represent as large a leap forward as the <a href="/?post_id=52">Beta 2
release</a>, this first production release candidate contains some nice
features, with more coming (and hopefully quickly) on release candidate
2.<br /><br /><u>New features in this release:<br /></u><ul><li>TimeZone
Processing - Awww yeah! I&#39;ve never been a fan of the &quot;enter the
number of hours between you and GMT&quot; form of blog timestamping. First
of all, that doesn&#39;t work well with daylight savings time, and plus it
just seems kind of stick-and-rock. Now, when installing or upgrading a
Bloo blog, you can actually pick your timezone, and let Bloo handle the
rest - it will adjust time displays for daylight savings time, etc., and
you don&#39;t have to pay attention to whatever your current offset to
Greenwich is. There are new date formats also that will display the
timezone for you in the post timestamp. Also, all internal times are now
stored in GMT. I like platonic ideals - rather than storing internal times
in database tables using the server time or other such fickle measure, Bloo
stores everything in GMT. If you change your timestamp on your blog, all
timestamps on all posts, comments, etc, will adjust.</li><li>Got rid of
one of the SnapOn packages in Bloo - the Lists package. This was used on a
lot of behind the scenes stuff but was basically superfluous. Removing it
also allowed us to remove the list_types table.</li><li>Performed other
cleanups on the settings table.</li><li>Added new Settings menus, split up
the General settings into more manageable pieces, such as Blog Profile,
Discussion Settings, Time Zone settings, and Post and Comment Display
Settings. You can now also adjust the number of posts to display on the
main page, the number of comments to show in recent commentary, and the
formats to use for date and timestamps.</li></ul>Most of these changes,
other than the addition of timezone processing, were just nice and
necessary improvements. Much more is coming in release candidate 2.<br
/><br />Watch me for the changes . . .<br /><br /><br /><br />

Patches for the Bloo Beta 2 release <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=160870&amp;package_id=181029&amp;release_id=487428">have
been deployed</a>. Here&#39;s some detail on what&#39;s been fixed:<br
/><br /><strong>Patch</strong><br /><u>ct_code_001</u> - This fixes a
problem with the ct_code spam filter that caused it to think all comments
made to posts with long names were spam<br /><br /><u>rss_001</u> - This
fixes some formatting problems with the Bloo RSS feed<br /><br
/><u>style_001</u> - This fixes a problem with the styling of links in the
sidebar. <br /><br />These are all minor fixes, but still good to have. No
more patches are expected for the Beta 2 version. Download the patches
from the link above (they all come in one file) and view the readme.txt
files for install instructions.<br /><br />Now, to get to work in earnest
on version 1.0!<br /><br />Watch me for the changes . . .<br /><br />

After testing Bloo beta for a couple of weeks, the &quot;feature&quot; that
wins the dumbest idea prize is making ALL sidebar links block style. That
wasn&#39;t very smart - it affects too many other things. D&#39;oh . .
.<br /><br />Patches will be forthcoming on that, plus there&#39;s a fix
for the CTCode spam SnapOn and some RSS fixes coming.<br /><br /><br />
