Version 10.1.0
Contents
• Thanks
• Caution
• Improvements
• Repairs
This release adds support for plugins, adds more
translations, and fixes some bugs in RSS feed and blog
generation.
1 Thanks
Laurent Vallar and Greg Weber contributed patches and
suggestions!
2 Caution
• The import task has been renamed to import_rss.
• The gen task is no longer invoked when the Rakefile
file changes.
3 Improvements
• Added a plugins/ directory for non-essential Rake
tasks. You can add your own files (which provide Rake
tasks) into this directory and load them into your
Rakefile.
Currently, there is a plugin that provides a Rake task
for importing blog entries from an RSS feed.
• Laurent Vallar translated more strings from the
templates for the French language. I have updated the
Telugu and other translation files accordingly.
• Comments are now omitted when an entry is summarized,
because you would like the reader to fully read your
blog entry before they make comments about it. {Greg
Weber}
• The Chapter#[] method now raises an error when you try
to access an unknown section by name. It also lets you
access sections by index or range—the traditional array
access idioms. {Greg Weber}
4 Repairs
• Entry content was omitted from RSS feed when summary
was not available.
• The “read more†link was omitted for summarized entries
in the RSS feed.
• Greg Weber suggested that the first HTML block-level
element should be accepted as the summary of a blog
entry (in addition to the current scheme of accepting
the first “paragraph†of text) because the current
scheme makes strong assumptions about RedCloth’s
implementation.
• The URL for author’s e-mail (at the bottom of config/
html.erb) was being escaped twice. {Greg Weber}
• Laurent Vallar and Greg Weber fixed the renaming of
Rassmalog[:url] to Rassmalog[:website]. In addition,
Greg Weber added protection to raise an error if such
mistakes are made in the future.
• The index.html file was not updated when the “front
page†file changes.
• Redundant nested
elements were not being
collapsed by config/format.rb.
