Release Notes

Requires Five 1.2.x.

This version of Quills is markedly different from the 0.9 series that went before it in many ways. Some effort has gone into keeping migration code at least vaguely current, but it has not been tested. Consequently, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to simply upgrade an existing Quills instance to this version without some work on your own part. We would be very grateful to hear how people get on with migrations.

Back up your data before installing this product on an existin Quills instance! You have been warned.

Change log

Changes too numerous to mention. Some highlights include:

• Syndication feeds per topic and per author, as well as (ANDed) combinations of each.
• Enhanced trackback sending facility, via plonetrackback, that allows you to send an arbitrary number of trackback pings per post (and records URLs that have already been pinged).
• WeblogTopics are no more - replaced by the standard Plone subject keywords. This makes WeblogEntry topics searchable in the catalog.
• (Hopefully) Fixed MetaWeblogAPI support - well, it should be better, at least.
• Numerous UI fixes.
• New portlet_tag_cloud.pt in the skins for (somewhat experimental), um, tag clouds ;-).
