Version 3.2.0
This release improves usability and simplifies the blog’s
appearance.
1 Features
• Tags and archives now use the tag cloud visualization
method.
â–¡ You can configure the cloud generation in the
config/chapter.erb template.
• A config/index.erb template has been added for
customization of generated index*.html files.
â–¡ The search page now explicitly states that it is
really just an exhaustive listing of the content of
all entries available on the blog.
2 Usability
• Jakob Nielsen’s guidelines for web design are now
followed.
• Added horizontal rules (
) to improve readability
in text-mode browsers.
3 Mechanics
• Entry summarization is now the responsibility of the
config/entry.erb template.
â–¡ When entries are summarized, their meta information
(date, tags, etc.) is now omitted because I feel
that people are more interested in the content of a
blog entry than when it was written and how it is
tagged. This omission leads to a much cleaner and
simpler user interface.
As always, you can change this behavior if you
wish.
• The String.table_of_contents method now operates on
XHTML instead of Textile.
â–¡ The generated table of contents can link directly
to any HTML heading because it now supports
nonstandard characters, such as HTML entities (and
thereby non-English languages), nested HTML
elements, and so on.
