Blogging Roller: Roller 0.9.7.2 is available.

Roller 0.9.7.2 is available.

This is a minor bug fix release, see JIRA for the fix list. The release is available on SourceForge or you can get it via CVS from the ROLLER_0972 tag.

The most significant fix is that all URLs generated by Roller are once again relative (as they were in earlier versions). Also, a new setting has been added to the Website:Config page to allow you to configure the base URL for those URLs that cannot be relative (those in RSS feeds, XML-RPC return values, Trackbacks, etc.). These changes make it easier to run Roller behind an HTTPS configured web server.

The out-of-memory problems reported by users have turned out to be the results of misconfigured JVM, Tomcat, and OSCache settings, so I think Roller 0.9.7.2 is ready for deployment on FreeRoller.

UPDATE 3:02PM EST: If you have already downloaded the build, please download it again. I found a little glitch and had to do a respin.

"The out-of-memory problems reported by users have turned out to be the results of misconfigured JVM, Tomcat, and OSCache settings" I'm also looking into using OSCache with Tomcat, could you give any details on how it was misconfigured?

For OSCache: max entries were set too high (1000 entries). For best results, I've found that you need to set the max entries as low as you can and you need to cache to both memory and to disk. OSCache tuning seems to be a bit of voodoo-science.

Thanks!

What's "as low as you can" - i.e. 100? That's what mine has been set at for a couple weeks now.
