Hello, We’re very pleased and proud to announce the release of Typo 5.2 “Helmut Newton” for Rails 2.2, the famous blogging engine, 4 months after our last release. Typo 5.2 is more than a simple port from Rails 2.0.2 to Rails 2.2, it’s a major, deep, rewrite of the application. We’ve ditched lot of code, aiming at stability and performance, dividing Typo’s memory footprint by 4 on some large blogs. We’ve also fixed a huge, very huge amount of bugs, too many to be told here, actually, from functionnal aberrations to security breaches. See the CHANGLOG for more information. There are also some new features. - A brand new admin, focusing on both efficiency and usability. - The new editor, coming with easy to use XHTML quicktags toolbar for people who don’t like FCK Editor. - Search engine optimization everywhere on your blog. Too much to say here. - A new theme catalogue, allowing you to browse and download up to date themes from your Typo install. - Our old code syntax highlighting plugin has been replaced with Coderay. - Excerpts, that allow you to display on your index something completely different as on your article, which won’t appear on your RSS feed. - Our _live search_, which was so hype 2 years ago has been replaced with a more traditionnal and clearer search engine and left as a plugin. And many more you can read about on the official release note: [http://blog.typosphere.org/2009/01/25/typo-5-2-helmut-newton-for-rails-2-2-released](http://blog.typosphere.org/2009/01/25/typo-5-2-helmut-newton-for-rails-2-2-released) You can download Typo 5.2 on Rubyforge: [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=555](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=555) or using the good old gem Install Typo from sources: [http://wiki.github.com/fdv/typo/install-typo-from-sources](http://wiki.github.com/fdv/typo/install-typo-from-sources) Install with Typo installer: [http://wiki.github.com/fdv/typo/install-typo-with-typo-installer](http://wiki.github.com/fdv/typo/install-typo-with-typo-installer) Once again, thank you to every contributor who made it possible.
