Blogging Roller

Roller 0.9.7 approaches.

Roller 0.9.7-RC1 should be out in the next day or two. Here are the new features:

Comments, Trackbacks, and Linkbacks
   * Both in-page and pop-up style comments are supported
   * Remember-me feature for comments
   * You can delete comments that you don't like
   * Support for Movable Type style Trackbacks
   * Trackbacks are treated as comments
   * You can send Trackback pings to other weblogs
   * Support for Mark Pilgrim style "for further reading" Linkbacks
   * Linkback searches referering sites and RSS feeds for excerpts
   * Linkbacks can be disabled by Roller administrator
   * New #showLinkbacks() macros displays Linkbacks for day
   
MetaWeblog API
   * Support for both Blogger API and MetaWeblog API
   * Allows both titles and categories from w.bloggar and other clients.

General
   * Simplified main page is much faster than before
   * Main page displays most recent posts and most popular blogs
   * Main page RSS feed aggregates all posts on site   
   * Remember-me feature for logins
   * New VelociMacros are replacing old page macros
   * One click to post as public or post as private 
   * Spell checker for posts

I don't expect Anthony to upgrade FreeRoller until the final release.
