Post-1.1 snapshot

XML-Weblog

I've made a new post-1.1 snapshot available on the xml-weblog ftp site, which includes all of the (relatively minor) changes to date.

HTML "<b>" and "<i>" tags have been replaced with "<strong>" and "<em>" respectively, a new <xwl function="name"/> tag has been added to support post-XSLT processing (currently replacing and much cleaner than the %enter_text% and %cdata_[open/close]% hacks). A "publish" bit has been added to the article object, that determines if an article appears on the home page or not (allowing for drafts), which is utilized by the XML-RPC API to support the flNotOnHomePage flag (used by Radio UserLand). A corresponding block "enable" bit has been added as well. To support Firefox 1.0, an RSS <link> tag has been added to the default style, so you get the nifty RSS button at the bottom of the page. Finally, I've added a 1.1-1.2 upgrade script that automates the back-end database changes.

Note that to get full functionality from the XML-RPC interface, select "Radio UserLand" as the back end system in NetNewsWire (or whatever blogging tool you use). An added bonus, the <xwl function="split"/> tag allows you to split long articles. (with Read More...)

Warning: if you do use the snapshot, you will most likely have to manually update your database as the upgrade script will only work for the official 1.1 release. However, you should be able to accomplish this by modifying the upgrade script.

You can download the new snapshot using the link below.
