b2evolution 0.9.0.12 "Amsterdam" released

Posted by on May 08, 2005 in New releases

b2evolution version 0.9.0.12 "Amsterdam" has been released. Get it from the downloads section.

This is a maintainance release only. It ships with the following:

Security fixes, especially this one.
Minor bug fixes
Many many locale/translation updates and additions. (Translations are now available for the following locales: cs_CZ, da_DK, de_DE, es_MX, es_VE, fi_FI, fr_FR, gl_ES, hu_HU, it_IT, ja_JP, lt_LT, nb_NO, nl_NL, pt_BR, pt_PT, sk_SK, sv_SE, th_TH, tr_TR, tr_TR_utf-8, zh_CN, zh_CN_utf-8, zh_TW.)
A brand new skin: "natural pink"

It is only necessary to upgrade if you haven't applied the latest security patch yet. However, upgrade is recommended for everyone (it is very very easy, especially if you are already running a 0.9.0.x version).

This release is aimed at maximum stability, thus there are no major new features in this release. New features will ship in version 0.9.2 (or whatever it will be numbered). We cannot give an estimate release date for 0.9.2 yet, but you can get the new features from CVS if you really can't wait.

0.9.2 will shift the focus to modularity and scalability.

Important: you will also need to apply this patch.

Any chance you’ll release a diff version?

Comment from: fplanque

No, we’re not releasing diff versions. You can easily find out the diffs with tools like WinMerge.

Comment from: James

does this version have function to auto resize large images? rather than creating smaller version of same pic as thumbnail can it generate thumbnail on demand?

Comment from: Thanh Ha

Very interesting software. I would like to request a locale translation for Vietanmese. Many thanks.

Will this upgrade break current templates?

Hi,
are there planned captchas for comments and trackbacks? I have a lot of spam in my blog with comments and trackbacks.

Comment from: Mohamed

Will it support sending MMS directly to my blog via email?

Comment from: George

Well, installed the latest update and got hacked, and spam attacked. I am kinda disapointed by the script. Its too slow, cant handle a lot of traffic either and really still needs a lot of work. Hope the next update will be better, in the mean time I will look for alternatives.

Taken from http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=2732&highlight=
Please make it so that the autopruning only happens once per hour. This wil increase the performance dramatically. I have implemented EdB’s proposal, but that is not really a “good” solution. I think the “right” soluation would be to prune the post only once per hour, instead doing it by every request.

Is this implemented already?

Comment from: blueyed

No, Julien, it’s not in the 0.9 series.. :(

Comment from: kozen

Do you plan to implement a feature that allows me to set a maximum number of blog reports that will be shown? Or only the reports of the last two months or sth. like that? IMHO that might be a nice feature. I am running 0.9.0.10 currently and could not figure it out, so i guess it’s not implemented yet ;)

That “modularity” for the new version, could that also include support for Smarty templates? http://smarty.php.net/
