Version 2.4.0

This release adds individual tasks for each part of the blog generation  
process, improves usability, and reintroduces some styling elements from  
previous releases.

Details

• Added individual tasks for each part of the blog generation process.  
For  
example, this allows you to quickly preview a blog entry as you  
write  
it—without having to wait for the tag and archive indices to be  
generated  
every time.

• Added a “jump to content” link, which is not visible in web browsers  
that  
support CSS, at the top of the page. This improves usability for  
text-based  
web browsers, where they can skip the navigation menu and jump  
directly to  
the content in one keystroke.

• The default set of blog entries that come with Rassmalog have been  
moved  
into entries/rassmalog/ so that (1) they do not interfere with your  
entries  
during upgrades and (2) they are readily obliterated if you want.

• Restored the old way of presenting date, tags, and the comment URL  
(one per  
line) in entry template.
