This is just a short note to all you guys that there is a new serendipity-beta-release Garvin bundled today: s9y 0.7b1. Read the huge list of new features and everything else related with this release, or just believe that there has been a lot of coding going on and satisfy yourself with this short list of

New features:

• Redesigned admin interface for editing entries, searching/filtering entries now possible
• MySQLi and SQLite support
• iconv engine will be used for UTF-8 conversion, where available

So make sure to update your installation (Here's a how to. If you're impatient or a very cool person, just unpack the tarball over your old installation and open your blog in a browser to complete the upgrade process (backup the serendipity/ directory and the database if you don't feel so very cool)).

If you're not using s9y (YOU SHOULD BE!) or have no clue what I'm talking about, ignore this entry and assume I'm still on vacation and offline.

If you have no clue what I'm talking about, because you don't know english, pray to the lord and read the Deutsche Betafreigabeankündigung posted by Garvin in the meantime. Yikes.
