Hello, On July 22th, 2010, Typo version 5.5 named for famous photographer Richard Avedon was released to the public. Coming with a new admin and setup, Typo 5.5 runs on Rails 2.3.8. Being around since March 2005, Typo is (probably) the oldest blogging platform in Rails. It has a full set of feature you would expect from such an engine, powerful SEO capabilities and full themes and plugin extension. It is available at [http://wiki.github.com/fdv/typo/](http://wiki.github.com/fdv/typo/) as a gem or source tarball. Highlights: We have extended our plugin API to provide plugin management within your blog administration. This is a first step on the way to a full plugin API. Typo now comes with a new cache system, way simpler than the database based cache we used to do. Files are stored into public/cache and Typo knows how to served cached file. You may need to update your configuration, please read doc/CACHE.SETUP.README Being a long time wanted feature, Typo now handles password protected posts. Typo visual editor had no way to upload, browse, and use images. Thanks to htty, we now have a very nice resource browser CKEditor compliant. For more information on Typo 5.5, please read the CHANGELOG file. As usual, we want to thank the Typo community, and in particular, by reverse patch order: Daniel Schweighoefer, htty, Yannick Francois,Szymon ‘jeznet’ Jeż, Diego Elio ‘Flameeyes’ Pettenò, Kristopher Murata and Michael Reinsch.
