Version 5.1.0

• Thanks
• Caution
• Features
• Repairs
• Usability

This release fixes several defects and increases the
scriptability of blog entries.

1 Thanks

Josef ‘Jupp’ Schugt reported defects, contributed patches,
and suggested features.

2 Caution

• The RSS feed now contains only the most recent entries
of your blog. {Jupp}

3 Features

• An @entry variable is now available for use within a
blog entry’s text parameter. This variable gives
information about the blog entry, such as its input and
output file names, its tags, date, and so on.

4 Repairs

• strftime("%Z") does not always produce numerical
output. As a result, the RSS feed was not always
passing the feed validator. {Jupp}

• String.to_html now removes <span> tags around acronyms,
which are added by RedCloth. These tags cause unwanted
HTML code to appear when acronyms are used in the title
of a web page or RSS feed items. {Jupp}

• Entries were always summarized on the ‘recent entries’
page, regardless of the summarize_entries configuration
parameter. {Jupp}

• Anchor links in a blog entry’s summary now correctly
take you inside the entry’s web page.

• HTML tags are now removed from the HTML anchors of
headings in the table of contents.

5 Usability

• Added CSS style for the “Read more…†link. {Jupp}
