Forum: Typo Typo 5.5 for Rails 2.3.8

Hello,

On July 22th, 2010, Typo version 5.5 named for famous photographer 
Richard Avedon was released to the public. Typo 5.5 is the result of the 
work of the Typo community, just like you, on adding or suggesting 
feature, reporting and fixing bugs.

With its new admin and setup, Typo 5.4.4 was supposed to be the latest 
minor version running on Ruby on Rails 2.3, and we spent a few months 
exploring 2 new ways.

The first one was being able to upgrade to Ruby on Rails 3.0 as soon as 
it would be released as production ready. Despite porting our own code 
without problems, we promptly discovered that too many plugins needed to 
be ported to Rails 3.0 before we could release.

The second one was making Typo multiblog aware. Despite some interesting 
results, making it production ready was not the work of a single 
release. Our architecture is definitely mono blog oriented, and making 
it multi blog would force us to rewrite most of the code.

So, we decided to make one more release on Ruby on Rails 2.3, upgrading 
to Rails 2.3.8. This release is Typo 5.5. It comes with a few new 
feature, bug fixes, and internal improvements.

== Highlights:

Typo now runs on Ruby on Rails 2.3.8, which means it won't run with an 
older Rails version.

Being a long time wanted feature, Typo now handles password protected 
posts.

Typo visual editor had no way to upload, browse, and use images. Thanks 
to htty, we now have a very nice resource browser CKEditor compliant.

As I wrote on Typo Weblog (http://res.to/aQz6), we've added a way to 
display users plugins setup into Typo admin. This is a first step on the 
way to a real plugin API.

Typo now comes with a new cache system, way simpler than the database 
based cache we used to do. Files are stored into public/cache and Typo 
knows how to served cached file. You may need to update your 
configuration, please read doc/CACHE.SETUP.README

For more information on Typo 5.5, please read the CHANGELOG file.

As usual, we want to thank the Typo community, and in particular, by 
reverse commit order: Daniel Schweighoefer, htty, Yannick 
Francois,Szymon 'jeznet' Jeż, Diego Elio 'Flameeyes' Pettenò, Kristopher 
Murata and Michael Reinsch.
