Project Roller

The Apache Roller project is pleased to announce Apache Roller 6.1.6.

Roller is a full-featured, multi-user and group-blog server written in Java, suitable for blog sites large and small.

This is a maintenance release with bug fixes and small improvements. Users of 6.1.5 and earlier are encouraged to upgrade.

A few changes affect existing installations:

• Initial setup now requires a one-time token that Roller prints to the server log. This applies both to a new installation and to a restart that migrates the database schema.
• Incoming and outbound Trackback support is removed. The endpoint no longer exists and the entry editor no longer sends pings.
• WSSE AtomPub authentication is retired. The authentication.method setting now takes basic or oauth, and an installation still set to wsse fails on startup, so change it before you upgrade.
• Media file content types are derived from file content rather than from the upload request.
• Table detection during installation is scoped to the database the connection points at. This fixes MySQL installs into an empty schema on a server that also hosts another Roller database.
