Tonight I upgraded this site to 
0.8.0.
Okay, this was relatively easy since this site was already running b2evo 0.7.4, but still... everything went smoothly, which is cool! We're one step closer to release! B)
In the next few days I'll be upgrading a couple of other blogs running the original b2 0.6.1. I'll also be activating a few of the new features here! ;) If this, as well as beta testing goes well, we should have a public release in a week or so.
Get ready for the beast! :D
PS: if you want to participate in the upcomming beta test, please join the group!

Woops I first spelled it sundaes! :. And that was correct too! :))
Actually, the cool thing about sundays is that the day before is saurday... and that gives beta testers a lot of time to test b2evolution!
I sure wasn't expecting that much positive response from all over the world today! :yes:
This is really nice! B) Thank you all for your support. I'm working on rolling out a release ASAP! ;)

You know, I’m on a mission for clean permalinks !
Well, they’re comming closer… Today I implemented them in the trackback/pingback code so that when excerpts of a b2evolution blog appear on another site, they appear with a clean URL there too. :D
Sounds like a small job, but believe me, dealing with the pingback code was no picnic! :-/

Sometimes I think debugging pingback is the greatest pain... ever! XX(
[Please excuse for this disguised live test ;D]
Actually, there is in XMLRPC for PHP there is this cool xmlrpc_client.setDebug() method that helps a lot. I thought that would make my day for a while.... That was until I realized I had just spent half of the day debugging two bugs in the b2 pingback implementation! >:-(
This would have been far more efficient if the original developper for this (Mort) had finished the debugging in the first place... and this is precisely why I'm not rushing my own b2evolution out before I iron out as many quirks as I can! B)

- No referential integrity
- No transactions (at least not enabled by default so hosting providers would have them)
- No subqueries in DELETE statements
- No UNION statement (can you believe it?)
- and of course no triggers of any kind…
Not that I think mySQL is a bad thing… just that I don’t understand how this can be called 3.23! Actually, 0.3.23 would be more appropriate! :>>
I’m so close to making 0.4 (some call it 4.0 :>>) a requirement for b2evolution!

Still pushing the envelope: today I implemented sub-categories! :D
Check them out on the right. If you look at the Soft Culture Blog you'll even see a second level of nesting.
