webby version 0.8.3
by Tim P.
http://webby.rubyforge.org/
(the “Mother Cluckers” release)
== DESCRIPTION
Webby is a super fantastic little website management system. It would be
called a content management system if it were a bigger kid. But, it’s
just a runt with a special knack for transforming text. And that’s
really
all it does - manages the legwork of turning text into something else,
an
ASCII Alchemist if you will.
== CHANGES
- 2 major enhancements
- Added blogging support
- Added S5 slide presentation support
- 6 minor enhancements
- Changed the arguments to the DB#find method
- Added locals support for page templates
- Updated atom feed generation template
- Partials now support local variables when rendering
- Can guard rendering results from processing by subsequent filters
(useful when rendering partials or embedding other pages)
- Support for “content_for” style captures [M@ McCray]
- 5 bug fixes
- Fixed reference to an non-existent Error class
- Basepath filter now handles XML files properly
- Removed the “–delete” flag from the rsync options [Denis D.]
- Fixed a nil cursor bug in the rendering filter stack
- Recursive find now works from the root content folder (bug 20281)
== FUN FACT
The author of Webby built a chicken coop over Memorial Day weekend.
Three
happy hens now reside in the backyard – hence the name of this release
of
webby.

Typo in the subject line. Version 0.9.0 of Webby has NOT been
released. The current version is 0.8.3.
Too much automation – not enough coffee or sleep.

Not CGI, but Disqus
may help.
(I’ve not used it, only read about it.)

i’ve used it - it’s excellent.

I have used it and recommend it. It stores comments based on the URL,
so you can drastically change your site and keep the same URL and the
comments will still apply.
BTW, Tim, have you heard anything about an error that HAML complains
of having too many params when evaluating the pages? I’ll get a
backtrace here if you need it (it’s not immediately available on this
machine).
I’m using HAML 2.0 now. Also, I’ll make sure that this new version of
Webby doesn’t fix the problem… I’ll let you know what I find either
way.

Shoot me an e-mail off-list with the stack trace. I’ve not used HAML
too much, so there certainly might be a bug there.
