Rassmalog is 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.

Rassmalog 12.0.1

Contents

â€¢ 1 Improvements  
â€¢ 2 Repairs

This release fixes the RSS feed template and task  
dependencies, and improves the documentation and CSS  
styles.

1 Improvements

â€¢ Make version numbering system table self-explanatory in  
the user guide.

â€¢ Make visited links more prominent by coloring them as  
MediumVioletRed. This color complements the solid blue  
of unvisited links well. In fact, the pair is somewhat  
reminiscent of Flickr.comâ€™s blue and pink color theme.

â€¢ Add background-color to _emphasis elements just  
like the Webby project. This makes it much easier to  
spot emphasized text._

 

_â€¢ Lighten the style for element so that it is easier  
on the eyes._

 

_â€¢ Lighten the color and italicize for blockquotes to  
indicate that the quote is from an external source._

 

_2 Repairs_

 

_â€¢ Blog title and entry title were not emitted as inline  
HTML in RSS feed._

 

_â€¢ Fixed task dependencies for hidden blog entries: the  
search page was being triggered when a hidden blog  
entry changed!_

 

_â€¢ Fixed task dependencies for entrance page: it should  
only be regenerated when the blog configuration file  
changes._

Hello,

Since nobody has downloaded this release yet,  
I took the liberty to sneak a small bug fix  
into the 12.0.1 release packages:

- entrance page was not updated to point  
to newest entry when new entry is added

Cheers.
