Changes
This document is intended to give a quick overview over the most import
and / or obvious changes. For a detailed list of changes, please consult the
ChangeLog.
Geeklog 1.3.6
New Features
- User submission queue: When activated (in config.php), new
users will need to be approved by an admin before they receive their
password.
- The submission queues can be switched off separately.
- When posting source code (e.g. PHP, HTML, ...), you can now use the
[code] ... [/code] pseudo tags to enclose those portions of your posting
that should be reproduced verbatim.
- The links section now uses a categorized and paged display (can be
switched off separately and even back to the pre-1.3.6 style listing).
- Anonymous users can now be blocked from almost every part of the site
(e.g. links section, site stats, ...), if needed.
- A Geeklog site can now be disabled easily (e.g. for maintenance) by
setting a flag in config.php.
- Theme changes: Please consult the themes
documentation for a list of changes.
Bugfixes
- Several fixes have been made to ensure that permissions are taken into
account properly (e.g. not revealing story titles of stories that the
user has no access to).
- Several fixes have been made to make sure that Geeklog can now be
properly localized (provided you have a language file that is up to date
and have chosen the proper locale settings
for your country and language).
- The variable $_CONF['site_admin_url'] is now used properly so that you
can rename Geeklog's admin directory if needed.
- New RDF parser will now import most (if not all) RDF news feeds
properly
Notes
- Since there are a lot of new variables in config.php, it is
recommended you start with a fresh copy of that file instead of copying
over your old config.php from your previous installation.
- Please note that currently only the English, German, Italian, Polish,
and Japanese language files are up to date. Using one of the other
language files may result in your Geeklog site not working properly.
