Garvin hat mal wieder den Schlossnagle (scnr) auf den Kopf getroffen! George hat keinen Bock mehr auf s9y. Das verstehe ich gut, denn in seiner Version ist noch sein nicht ganz unerheblicher und hier nicht näher erwähnter Bug drin.

Wie Garvin aber auch ganz richtig sagt, inspiriert uns Kristian der Große aus mir unerfindlichen Gründen und scheint s9y zu mögen, wofür ich sehr dankbar bin. Ich bin es schließlich höchstens gewohnt, von ihm bloßgestellt zu werden ;-)

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:

• Threaded comments (viewmode can be toggled by the visitor), comment moderation
• Post to multiple categories
• Nested categories
• Configuration in native language of the blog, uses your Browser's language settings for auto-detection
• Multi-User interface with three userlevels: ADMIN, CHIEF-EDITOR and EDITOR. Assign entries and categories to individual users.
• Categories can have icons associated to them
• Image manager can now handle other file formats and subdirectories
• 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
• All core images can now be altered via the templating mechanism

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.

I have one invitation left. Designers, listen attentively:

Since s9y.org lacks an original design, and I want the default theme of s9y redesigned, I'll offer a free GMail invite to whoever supplies us with a great layout. We need a template for coWiki (s9y.org is powered by coWiki) and a s9y template. It should be a CSS-only design (check out csszengarden.com if you don't know what I'm talking about). So, be creative and send screenshots of your ideas to:

Extra, extra, read all about it: I just released serendipity version 0.4: go to the download page.

So all bloggers: I hope you enjoy this release, download it, install it, test it, tell me how you like it, I'm off to play some basketball now...

Peace

Just wanted to tell you guys, that you can blog via email (if you are using s9y, of course), using the script provided by Sebastian - I'd recommend to have a look at Garvin's modified version first.

Enjoy :)
