7 * Story rendering is cached, resulting in faster page loading.
8 * An existing story can be copied to another topic from the story
10 * The template `stories_by_date' has changed the order of their
11 output values; now they are topic_id, id and date.
12 * The RSS template now accepts an optional CGI argument `tag', to
13 get feeds on stories by tag.
14 * Multiple sources are no longer supported; it never really worked
15 well, made the code cumbersome and had no real advantage after
16 all. The cgi caller needs not to be changed, as the `sources'
17 argument is still supported (only the first one is used, though),
18 but the scalar `source' is preferred now.
19 * The file format in the FS source has changed; the `.META' extension
20 has been changed to `.M', and `.TAGS' to `.T'. Also, new files
21 appear in the `stories' directory with the `.A' and `.B' extensions,
22 holding the rendered abstract and story body, respectively. The
23 transition is made automatically on the first run, no manual
25 * New argument `hard_top_ten_limit' to Gruta::Source::FS, to set
26 the maximum number of stories to be tested when generating the top
27 read stories index (previously hardcoded to 100).
28 * New argument `min_size_for_gzip' to Gruta::CGI, to set the minimum
29 size for the output body to be Gzip compressed (previously hardcoded
31 * If a story pointed by a story:// pseudo-url has a publication date
32 in the future, only the title is shown (i.e., it's not clickable).
33 * The Mbox source is officially deprecated.
34 * Artemus 4.1.2 is required.
39 * Fixed a last time bug in the DBI schema generation.
44 * On-the-fly Gzip compression (if browser accepts it).
45 * New special uris; `abstract', to paste a story's abstract, and `body',
46 to paste the full body of another one.
47 * A new renderer, Text, for plain text content.
48 * New Artemus variables to set HTML metadata; `html_title',
49 `html_description' and `html_keywords'.
50 * A new supertemplate called CSS, that returns the Cascading Style
51 Sheet instead of having it embedded in all output.
52 * A new supertemplate called SITEMAP (to be aliased to /sitemap.xml).
53 * If a story called `index' is present in a topic, the 'TOPIC' template
54 shows its body instead of the list of stories in it.
55 * Several new commands in the `gruta' command line tool; _new_story_ (to
56 create a new story from STDIN), _import_rss_ (to import an RSS file
57 into a topic), _update_story_ (to update a story from STDIN).
58 * Topics and stories now have a new field, `description', that is used
59 in the HTML description meta tag in `TOPIC' or `STORY'.
60 * Internal server errors set the HTTP status to 500.
61 * Some old function templates have been deleted and moved to Artemus.
62 * Many templates have been simplified with new Artemus keywords.
63 * The DBI driver is less verbose on errors.
64 * Those templates more prone to be changed when configuring a new
65 site have been renamed to have a prefix of 'cfg_'.
66 * Added POD documentation to some templates.
67 * Date formatting functions now accept `%w' to print the week day
69 * New global argument `dummy_touch' to avoid updating the `hits' count
71 * Several fixes to the Mbox driver.
72 * Don't generate empty 'about' and 'legal' links in 'meta_menu' if
74 * Confirmation is requested when deleting a story.
75 * New global argument `static_urls', that forces some urls (mainly
76 links to topics and stories) to use a simplified, static-like look.
77 You *need* to have the following Apache's mod_rewrite keywords
78 for these urls to be re-converted to usable ones:
81 RewriteRule /(img|download)/.* - [L]
82 RewriteRule ^/(.+)/index\.html$ /?t=TOPIC&topic=$1 [PT]
83 RewriteRule ^/(.+)/(.+)\.html$ /?t=STORY&topic=$1&id=$2 [PT]
84 RewriteRule ^/(.+)/$ /?t=TOPIC&topic=$1 [PT]
85 RewriteRule ^/rss\.xml$ /?t=RSS [PT]
86 RewriteRule ^/sitemap\.xml$ /?t=SITEMAP [PT]
