``` Rassmalog ``` A static blog engine based on YAML, eRuby, and Rake. It transforms blog entries written in Textile or other formatting systems into valid XHTML files that you can view on your computer or upload to your website. ``` http://rassmalog.rubyforge.org ``` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Version 11.0.0 Contents • Thanks • Caution • Improvements □ Usability • Repairs This release removes needless cruft (keep it simple!), adds new plugins, adds support for Ruby 1.9.0, freshens the default CSS theme, fixes translation files, and updates the documentation. 1 Thanks • Aggelos Orfanakos contributed fixes for the Greek language translation file. • Josef ‘Jupp’ Schugt suggested the Lazy Blogging feature. • Greg Weber suggested creating an official preview task and contributed a HTML validation plugin (plugins/ validate.rb). 2 Caution • Trailing dashes are now correctly removed from generated file names (the result of String# to\_file\_name). As a result, you may need to update hyperlinks to blog entries generated with a previous version of Rassmalog. • The entire config/entry.erb template is no longer rendered inside the RSS feed. Instead, only the text of the entry (and a “read more” link, if necessary) are rendered. • The search page no longer has a JavaScript-based search implementation. Instead, visitors are urged to use their browser’s built-in search mechanism, which is far superior to what is possible with JavaScript. 3 Improvements • Added the plugins/new.rb plugin which provides a Rake task for easily creating new blog entry source files. See the documentation for more information. • Added an official preview task which continuously generates the blog while you write your blog entries. • Added documentation about plugin usage, creating mulitple RSS feeds, and the preview task to the user guide. 3.1 Usability • Added an “all entries” link (in between the older/newer navigation links for a blog entry) which takes you to the corresponding place in the list of all entries. This allows users to access nearby entries without fear of having to scroll through the gigantic “all entries” list, just to return to where they were a few pages ago! • Enhanced the default CSS style by providing more visual clues about the navigation menu, document structure, and page layout. 4 Repairs • Fixed several Ruby warnings and added support for Ruby 1.9.0 ---
