Version 11.0.0


Contents

  • Thanks
  • Caution
  • Improvements
      □ Usability
  • Repairs

This release removes needless cruft (keep it simple!), adds
new plugins, adds support for Ruby 1.9.0, freshens the
default CSS theme, fixes translation files, and updates the
documentation.

1  Thanks

  • Aggelos Orfanakos contributed fixes for the Greek
    language translation file.

  • Josef ‘Jupp’ Schugt suggested the Lazy Blogging
    feature.

  • Greg Weber suggested creating an official preview task
    and contributed a HTML validation plugin (plugins/
    validate.rb).

2  Caution

  • Trailing dashes are now correctly removed from
    generated file names (the result of String#
    to_file_name). As a result, you may need to update
    hyperlinks to blog entries generated with a previous
    version of Rassmalog.

  • The entire config/entry.erb template is no longer
    rendered inside the RSS feed. Instead, only the text of
    the entry (and a “read more” link, if necessary) are
    rendered.

  • The search page no longer has a JavaScript-based search
    implementation. Instead, visitors are urged to use
    their browser’s built-in search mechanism, which is far
    superior to what is possible with JavaScript.

3  Improvements

  • Added the plugins/new.rb plugin which provides a Rake
    task for easily creating new blog entry source files.
    See the documentation for more information.

  • Added an official preview task which continuously
    generates the blog while you write your blog entries.

  • Added documentation about plugin usage, creating
    mulitple RSS feeds, and the preview task to the user
    guide.

3.1  Usability

  • Added an “all entries” link (in between the older/newer
    navigation links for a blog entry) which takes you to
    the corresponding place in the list of all entries.
    This allows users to access nearby entries without fear
    of having to scroll through the gigantic “all entries”
    list, just to return to where they were a few pages
    ago!

  • Enhanced the default CSS style by providing more visual
    clues about the navigation menu, document structure,
    and page layout.

4  Repairs

  • Fixed several Ruby warnings and added support for Ruby
    1.9.0
