Bashblogger / News: Recent posts

We've uploaded a new tarball for the 0.3.7 release. There are a number of new features, as well as, bugfixes for this release.

The tarball now matches the dev SVN repository, so, if you grabbed a copy in the last day or so, and it works for you, well, ignore this. The new tarball is solely for consistency with the dev SVN repository. There are some directory differences and some slight changes w/the installer, but everything else is exactly the smae.... read more

Mario has decided to take his codebase and release it as "POSIX blogger", so I've disabled CVS until I can get sourceforge to remove his commits.

Mario is a very talented programmer and I hate to see him fork off his own project, but I enjoyed working with him and learned a great deal. If you like bashblogger, you will, no doubt, also like Mario's posixblogger. We'll link to his code as soon as he posts it somewhere and I wish him well in all of his endeavours.... read more

Today i've uploaded my latest development version to CVS, so everybody can see where we are heading. Beware, that this CVS is borked more than the most CVS versions out there. Expect the worst: daily changes in the command line arguments, new databases etc. In return the new version of bashblogger will be a lot faster and more portable. If you want to actually use bashblogger please use the latest release 0.3.5.

I've fixed a couple of user submitted bugs and rolled up a new tarball. I haven't heard from anyone else regarding bug reports, so I'm assuming this release is bugfree. ;)

Ideally, there will be a new release every two weeks until everything in the TODO is completed. A month a release on the outside.

If you've run across any bugs that didn't get fixed this release, either submit them to the bugtracker or email 'em to me at grim_at_grimthingDOTcom

There was a problem with the tarball released earlier tonight. I'd attached the wrong script and then the right one had some last-minute bug squashing.

If you downloaded the tarball Saturday September 9, 2006 between 1500-1900 CST -0600, download it again, I fixed it.

Well, RC1 has been available for about two weeks and I haven't heard a peep about any bugs so we're going to assume everything's fine and post a second release candidate.

Nick Anderson submitted a remote synchronization function that seems to work quite well. It uses either rsync or scp.

The rsync method is the way you want to go if you can get it as the scp is a brute force sync - it uploads the entire site, every time. I hope to make the scp option a little more elegant in the future, but it's there as an option now for those of you that want to try it. ... read more

After nearly a years hiatus, I'm back with a potential release for bashblogger. If anyone's wondering where the heck I've been during the interim, you can go to the Home Page for the full details. The short of it is, I'm now a daddy.

My little girl was born August 24th. My wife had a high-risk pregnancy so, naturally, my attention has been on things other than the project.

Mother and daughter are both home, and both are doing well.... read more

My wife and I got the computers moved over to the new place _early_ this morning. We put in an order to get the cable transferred, the cable man should be over sometime tomorrow morning and development will start back at full steam thereafter.

If you've emailed me (Phil) and haven't heard anything back yet, I should be able to respond by tomorrow night or Saturday at the latest.
