Version 9.0.1

Contents

• Caution  
• Repairs  
• Usability

This release (1) fixes some bugs that were thought to have  
been fixed by the previous release and (2) shortens the  
source code down to 567 lines!

1 Caution

• The Chainable module has been renamed to SequenceMixin  
and its next and prev methods no longer wrap around the  
array. Instead, they return nil when you try to access  
beyond the end of the array.

• The TemplateMixin module no longer has a template\_file  
method.

• The ERB#render\_with method has been moved to Template#  
render\_with. In addition, the method no longer takes a  
“template name” as the first argument.

• The “Recent entries” phrase has been renamed to “New  
entries” for brevity.

2 Repairs

• ARCHIVES was not ordered by date (again!).

• The next/previous and older/newer links were forming a  
cycle (again!). This can cause confusion when a user is  
viewing the newest entry and sees a “newer” link which  
really takes the user back to the oldest entry!

• The copy task was copying all input/\*.yaml files to  
output/.

3 Usability

• The config/format.rb file now inserts a “border=1”  
attribute on all HTML tables. This greatly improves  
readability in text-mode web browsers!
