b2evolution 1.8.1 "Milestone" released / translations

August 17, 2006 @ 20:44, by Francois Planque • Category: New releases

Hello everybody!

We are pleased to announce immediate availablity of b2evolution 1.8.1 "Milestone".

Download here!

This is a Release Candidate. This means that it is ready for production and basically the only thing missing is translations/localizations into more languages (English, French & German included).

Translators, now would be a good time to update translations.

Also, we are looking for someone to manage a central repository of translations/localizations/language packs (or whatever you want to call it). The idea would be to have something like locales.b2evolution.net linked into here.

Of course we would prefer someone who is doing localization himself, who has some minimal clue about UTF-8 and various charsets, who isn't afraid of uploading translations into CVS and who is willing to spend some time communicating with the translators (who will send you random .po files without any identification if you don't ask!)

Okay, that's already a lot! You could also host the site, but we'll handle that part if you don't want to

New in version 1.8.1:

Members of the admin user group (not just user #1) can easily validate their account with 1 click (blueyed)
More improvements to account validation through email (blueyed)
Fixed static page generation (fplanque)
Fixed feed stubs, especially for blogs that allow skin switching
Fixed "Ban" URLs on the stats pages
Fixed output for windows-1251/cp1251 (cyrillic) charset (blueyed)
Reintroduced the previous ru-RU locale next to the new ru-RU-cp1251
Fixed display by date mode (fplanque)
Fixed next/previous post links
Moved credits to the real bottom of the skins
Plugins enhancements:
- API: Added Plugin::get_plugin_url() method
- Added events: AfterUserInsert, AfterUserUpdate, AfterUserDelete
- Fixed the Auto-P plugin again (blueyed)
- LDAP plugin: Fixed creating new usergroups based on template group (blueyed)

While not asking for a full file compare, is it possible to list files that have NOT been changed, since 1.8, in this update?

Cheers
John

There is a ZIP on sourceforge containing only the new/changed files.
It's 1 MB of changes!

Hi Francois!

First of all, thanks for a wonderful piece of blogging software.

Small question - will it be an easy update for me ? I'm running 0.91 and I've been waiting. I was just about to use the summer beta, but you've released this so now I'm going to use this, but I want to know if there's anything I need to do first.

Upgrading from 0.9.2 goes smootly if you have no customized skins.
If you use a default skin - or are willing to use a default skin in the mean time - you can upgrade without any hassle.
Just take into account that you have to grant all usergroups or users that have to be able to upload files those priviliges (group permissions - wide) in the blogstab)

Upgrading a skin is not that difficult, when using the manual EdB wrote : http://manual.b2evolution.net/Upgrade_Skin_from_0.9.2_to_1.8

I've not tested upgrading directly from 0.9.1 yet.

Is it possible to get a changelog? So i can see all the new goodies thats been added, as if there isn't anything new, i can wait a while. Can't really be bothered re-hacking a new version atm (unless it's worth my while

)

Upgrading from just works perfect. Everything goes smooth. Now I just have to convert my skin, but the new included ones also look very nice.

Congrats!

Hi there,

I am running the most recent 0.9 version and have a few modifications in a few files, as well as using a custom skin.

What is the best way to install the new version and then add back the modifications I've made?

Thanks much,
Ross

Just want to say it Loud : this version is Waaaaaahhhhhw !! just the fact to dissallow the comments in one click to all blogs is perfect, then i can see in my stats how much of the access i get is actually spam, without being "infected" !

Keep up the good works!

cheers,

One feature that is still badly needed: static pages like it is known i Word Press.

Pages where you can put text, but that are not part of the normal blog structure with dates etc.

These pages can be used for information about the blog, the blogger etc.

As said badly needed!

But thanks for the good work on the new version.

Okay, I added a little "changelog" to the post above, as well as links to translation resources.

This is just ... wonderful.

the last time I was on this site was on june...
and now I'm very surprised for the quick evolution about ameliorations you brought to this software.

I'm working a script that will let the users upload their picture in the user's profile and allow them to control its display on their site but it's not perfect because of the comments that are not added on all changes I've been made (Snooper).
I'll email it to you in few days.
