From: Suraj Kurapati Date: 2007-11-02T13:22:09+09:00 Subject: [ANN] Rassmalog 8.0.0 Rassmalog A static blog engine based on YAML, eRuby, and Rake. It transforms blog entries written in Textile or other formatting systems into valid XHTML files that you can view on your computer or upload to your website. http://rassmalog.rubyforge.org ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ There is a new "rassmalog-talk" mailing list here: http://rassmalog.rubyforge.org/mail ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Version 8.0.0 Contents • Thanks • Caution • Improvements • Repairs This release improves appearance and navigability, and updates the documentation. 1 Thanks • Michael Kwan and Alaric Holloway reviewed the new “look” of Rassmalog and provided insightful usability feedback. 2 Caution • In the config/blog.yaml file, the menu parameter has been renamed to links. The other templates and CSS files have been corrected accordingly. • The entry/list.erb has been renamed to entry/ listing.erb. • The “permalinks” at the end of every heading have been removed because they were unsightful and useless: since Rassmalog does not follow the typical blog software convention of jamming old blog entries into a single “archive” page, there is no reason for a “permalink” in Rassmalog. • There are new terms in the translation files. Some unused terms have been removed. 3 Improvements • Added older/newer links to a blog entry, next/previous links to a section, and highlighting of the item in the navigation menu that corresponds to the current web page (also known as “bread crumbs”). This makes the blog feel more connected. • Added a @solo variable to the config/entry.erb template which allows you to customize how the entry appears when it is rendered on its own page vs. when it is embedded inside something. • A blog entry’s summary & tags are now put into the ‘description’ and ‘keywords’ HTML META fields instead of the blog description. 4 Repairs • Added error reporting when loading the config/blog.yaml file. • Made the HTML META redirect in output/index.html more standards compliant. • A double horizontal-rule (hr) is no longer shown at the bottom of the web page in text-only browsers. • The sorted-by-name table in the main archives index is now sorted by date instead. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
