Version 4.1.0

Contents

â€¢ Repairs  
â€¢ Usability  
â€¢ Features

This release fixes the license and RSS feed validity, and  
improves usability and entry summarization.

1 Repairs

â€¢ The license was non-free because it disallowed selling.

â€¢ Headings are now omitted from entry summaries. For  
example, if your entryâ€™s text starts out with a heading  
like

```
h1. Introduction

then that heading will not be put into the summary. See
the config/entry.erb template for details.

```

â€¢ Invalid URI characters in URLs (for sending e-mail  
comments) were not properly escaped in the RSS feed.

2 Usability

â€¢ Added a â€œtrail of bread crumbsâ€, with links to an  
entryâ€™s tags and archive, just below an entryâ€™s name.  
This makes it easier to browse entries and find related  
entries. See the config/entry.erb template for details.

â€¢ The â€œEntriesâ€ link now appears just after the â€œHomeâ€  
link in the main navigation area because it seems more  
natural to want to see a listing of all entries after  
youâ€™ve just seen the most recent ones.

3 Features

â€¢ The blog authorâ€™s name (at the bottom of the config/  
html.erb template) is now hyperlinked to the comments  
e-mail address if the e-mail comments are enabled.

â€¢ The String.table\_of\_contents method now accepts a  
block, which allows for custom processing of the  
hierarchical structure of an XHTML document.
