b2evolution 0.9 "Europe" released
Posted by fplanque on May 17, 2004 in New releases
As promised, here it is!
There's so much good stuff in this one I don't even know where to start! ;D
So I'll start by thanking blueyed for the incredible work he did on this release. I don't think a single contributor has ever coded that much into a single release. It was quite hard for me to keep up! :>>
Okay, let's go for a quick rundown of new features:
- Install and start using b2evo without editing a single config file (fplanque)
- Localized install screens (blueyed)
- Most settings moved to backoffice
- Improved antispam with full control on what you report to the centralized blacklist (fplanque)
- RSS & Atom Feeds for Comments (fplanque)
- Comment authors are automatically identified with their profile if they are logged in (fplanque)
- Comment permalinks (fplanque)
- New template tags (object oriented) (this is the visible part of the code cleaning iceberg ;) (fplanque)
- Enhanced Calendar (counts posts, links to archive of month, browse by year...) (blueyed)
- More link type options (fplanque)
- Search Engine Friendly Permalinks: use post title in the url (URL titles) (fplanque)
- Community blogs: protected posts are now restricted to blog members and are no longer visible by any logged in user. (fplanque)
- Optional output buffer handling, which provides ETags-support and handles gzip compression. (blueyed)
Plug-in system, with value added plugins included: (fplanque)
- Texturize plugin.
- Auto-P plugin.
- Textile 2.0 plugin.
- Comments can be closed / open / disabled (post per post). (fplanque)
- Full locale support instead of lightweight language support.
- Locales can be fully administered in the backoffice now. (blueyed)
- b2evo will redirect to correct blog if permalinks point to wrong one (fplanque)
- Blogrolls have been renamed to Linkblogs which should be a little easier to understand.
- Backoffice improvements.

Wow, Francois, this new version looks like a great accomplishment for b2e. I’m really impressed. Hopefully this summer I’ll have time to upgrade my site (I’m still running on b2, can you believe it?!) and maybe even contribute a bit.
Anyway, congratulations on this release.
