Roller 0.9.7 is available.

Comments[5] by Dave in Roller

I'm going to forgo the RC nonsense and call today's release Roller 0.9.7. Release Candidates are just too much useless process for a little project like this. If somebody finds a problem with Roller 0.9.7, and they will, then we'll have Roller 0.9.7.1, 0.9.7.2 and so on.

Change notes

I've still got some 0.9.7 related work to wrap up, like finishing the User Guide and Castro vs. Hibernate testing, but that is no reason to hold up the release. Speaking of docs, the User Guide and Install Guide are now part of the Roller WIKI. This means that they will never be complete. Instead, with your assistance, they will be constantly evolving. Still, I'll do my best over the next week to bring the User Guide up to date with the new Roller 0.9.7 features.

We've been working on Roller 0.9.7 for so long that I almost forgot how much work Lance Lavandowska back in the early months. Lance was responsible for the new comments feature, the conversion of Roller macros to VelociMacros, adding a spell-checker for blog posts, and adding the very useful theme-switcher UI (he also added GZip compression for pages and RSS feeds, but that still has Tomcat issues). BIG round of applause for Lance!

Dave, I added some Resin specific information as Appendix B of the Installation Guide.

Good call IMO Dave! I hope to upgrade in the next couple of days.

I am anxious to look at the updated version. I'm excited about promoting your project it is pretty cool. One issue, for the non-programmer I noticed and haven't figured a work around, authentication. Assuming you are using tomcat standard realms/authentication list, this is great, however, if you want to use another type of realm for users than your tomcat realm it's a problem. I think user authentication would be nice to have separated from that, ie: perhaps hooks for your own access restriction/ldap/etc... just a few ideas.. keep up the great work. todd

Look at the org.roller.presentation.Authenticator interface. It may do what you want, but it has not yet been tested.
