nntp//rss.
Hey, this nntp//rss thang is pretty cool and it works might fine with Roller as long as you 1) enter a space for your blogid and 2) enable Blogger API support for your weblog in your blog's Roller config settings page.
I'll be adding MetaWeblog support in Roller 0.9.7 so that titles will work too.
Powered by Hibernate.
This blog is now powered by Hibernate. The upgrade went smoothly. Those asking about how Hibernate compares to Castor will have to wait a bit, I'm focusing on Roller 0.9.7 development right now and I may not have time for comparisons until after the release.
Hibernate implementation done.
As Matt reports, I have finished the Roller-Hibernate implementation and committed it to CVS. Tonight, I will upgrade this site to the latest code from CVS. Matt wants to know how it works, but I don't know yet. Hibernate has been a pleasure to work with and the results seem fast, but I have not done any benchmarks yet.
Right now, Roller has a pluggable persistence layer with two implementations Hibernate and Castor. I'm not sure how long that will last as it is no fun maintaining two implementations of the very same thing.
