Blogging Roller: Upgraded to Roller 6.1.1

Upgraded to Roller 6.1.1

A note about this site: I just upgraded rollerweblogger.org to run the recently released Roller 6.1.1, and Java 17. There was one snag. This site uses the Roller-JSPWiki plugin and old Lucene dependency in that plugin prevented Tomcat from loading Roller. It took me a couple of hours to figure out how to upgrade the plugin to use the latest version of JSPWiki. That fixed it.

Hi, I think Roller is a great blogg-framework, but not without snags unfortunately. I recently upgraded from 5.x to the 6.1.1 and for some reason my images dissapeared totally. I also used the "Gaurav" theme which does not look like being supported any longer with the 6.1.1 release. I stumbled across a bunch of themes the other day (https://code.google.com/archive/a/apache-extras.org/p/roller-extras) and tried to follow the instructions but neither of them shows up in the drop-down meny in the designer mode. Is there some trick to make them work?
