Sword 1.0beta4
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.

Mark,
Sword is definitely one of the more promising projects I have seen lately. I’ll be needing an application to host multiple blogs in the near future, and there is a good chance I will be deploying Sword.
Thanks!
