Comment and TrackBack spam

All this comment and TrackBack spam is getting annoying, so I will be implementing some anti-spam measures in the next couple of weeks.

Sword 1.0beta5

TrackBack link: http://blog.markjuh.net/sword/trackback/2005/8/19/sword_1_0beta5

Published on 19 August 2005 at 02:48.

It’s been about 13 days and 31 SVN checkins since the previous beta version.

This new version contains several fixes in both code and tests. And it adds a new feature: TrackBack support.

This supports both receival and sending of TrackBack pings. So now we can finally have blog-conversations. ;)

Cache expiration bug

TrackBack link: http://blog.markjuh.net/sword/trackback/2005/8/7/cache_expiration_bug

Published on 7 August 2005 at 11:23.

Of course when you try to page cache your application, you have to think of a lot of things. We added page caching before posts were ever displayed on the welcome page. And then after we added a summary of posts on the welcome page, we forgot to add support for this to the sweepers.

It should now be fixed.

Sword 1.0beta4

TrackBack link: http://blog.markjuh.net/sword/trackback/2005/8/6/sword_1_0beta4

Published on 6 August 2005 at 00:31.

It’s been about 11 days and 41 SVN checkins since the previous beta version.

This new version contains the following fixes and updates:

  • fixed RSS and Atom feed links
  • changed temporary texts with a more sane version
  • removed title from comments (only adds complexity for users)
  • removed the need to fill in contact information for a comment when the user is logged in
  • made RSS 2.0 feed ‘Atomic’ (see Atomic RSS)
  • added instructions how to run this weblogging tool
  • made sure users cannot change their weblog name (this would break permalinks significantly and furthermore it would be uncommon to change the location of your weblog)
  • added some patches to Rails which are not yet included in the Rails repository
  • give the user a choice to use the live preview or not
  • live preview contains rendered content when editing a post
  • store contact information for comment in cookie if user wants this
  • show email-address of commenter when user is logged in
  • totally reworked management of categories (heavy Ajax use)
  • show category in which post is made
  • fixed several pieces of invalid XHTML

The layout has been tuned a bit such that everything looks a bit more uniform. And it’s now easier to distinguish between published and draft posts when a user is logged in.

Sword 1.0beta3

Yeah, there is yet another version…

This version contains:
  • fixed caching bug (Atom feed cache is now expired when posts are added, updated or destroyed)
  • added RSS feed (Atom is nicer, but RSS has more support than Atom 1.0)
  • fixed content-type for feeds
  • updated Atom feed so it now validates (see Feed Validator)
