Release Notes

This release makes SimpleBlog compatible with Plone 3.x. It uses viewlets, GenericSetup and the new portlet architecture.
This release requires Plone 3.0x.
You may have to reinstall the product and run
the migration so you can use the new portlet mechanism.
There is a migration button in SimpleBlog's configlet.
You also may have to reindex the catalog.
There is a new permission for the visiblity of the new
portlet. Go to ZMI and then the security tab for your
plone instance and check the SimpleBlog permissions
for this.
Also, check the configlet because a few things
have changed.

anonymous users may see the portlet or not.
