Version 10.1.0

Contents

â€¢ Thanks  
â€¢ Caution  
â€¢ Improvements  
â€¢ 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

â€¢ The import task has been renamed to import\_rss.

â€¢ The gen task is no longer invoked when the Rakefile  
file changes.

3 Improvements

â€¢ 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.

```

â€¢ Laurent Vallar translated more strings from the  
templates for the French language. I have updated the  
Telugu and other translation files accordingly.

â€¢ 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}

â€¢ 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 rangeâ€”the traditional array  
access idioms. {Greg Weber}

4 Repairs

â€¢ Entry content was omitted from RSS feed when summary  
was not available.

â€¢ The â€œread moreâ€ link was omitted for summarized entries  
in the RSS feed.

â€¢ 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 â€œparagraphâ€ of text) because the current  
scheme makes strong assumptions about RedClothâ€™s  
implementation.

â€¢ The URL for authorâ€™s e-mail (at the bottom of config/  
html.erb) was being escaped twice. {Greg Weber}

â€¢ 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.

â€¢ The index.html file was not updated when the â€œfront  
pageâ€ file changes.

â€¢ Redundant nested

```
elements were not being
collapsed by config/format.rb.
```

Hello,

Since nobody downloaded the release packages yet, I went ahead and  
rolled in another bug-fix into the 10.1.0 release:

- There is now a separate _search_ task for generating the search page.

- The search page was being generated whenever _entry_ task was invoked.  
This defeated the ability to rapidly preview entries while editing  
them.

Enjoy.
