Subject: [ANN] Samizdat 0.0.4, with multimedia messages and query publishing

Greetings!

Samizdat 0.0.4 is out. As promised, this version allows to upload
multimedia messages, including images and verbatim plain text, and
introduces publishing of user-defined RDF queries in form of
"application/x-squish" messages.

When migrating from older Samizdat versions, you have to drop and
recreate your database from scratch because of incompatible database
schema change (content is now stored as a blob). In addition, file
upload feature relies on StringIO module that is available as part of
the Ruby 1.8 or can be installed separately from the Ruby Shim library
for Ruby 1.6[1].

Next stop:

Development in the next release will focus on rounding up implementation
of core Samizdat concepts by introducing basic tag management. At that
point, Samizdat will finally be useable as a generic open publishing
engine with arbitrary structuring of information.

Thank you for your interest,

[1] Special thanks to Nobu Nokada for the shim reference!
