[eluser]Kami_[/eluser]

Open Blog 1.1.0 is here

As I have promised, Open Blog 1.1.0 is finally here!

This release includes many new features as well as some minor bug fixes.

Here are just a few of them:

- Social bookmarking - add your posts to Digg, Technorati, Furl, StumbleUpon or del.ico.us with just a matter of click
- Forgotten password - if you lost your password, you can easily retrieve it
- Dynamic sidebar - now you can enable, disable and position sidebar items
- Dynamic navigation - with a few lines of javascript, positioning navigation items is a lot easier now
- Statistics - view your blog statistics
- Languages - a page that shows installed languages
- Templates - Interlude was removed from the default installation and replaced with Emplode (the Interlude template can still be downloaded as a "custom template" from the templates page)
- Extended tinyMCE WYSIWYG editor with new elements
- Upgraded to CodeIgniter 1.7.1
- Upgraded to a new CodeIgniter Form validation library
- Removed PHP short tags
- Made code more "PHP 5 compatible" (added function and properties access modifiers, removed other deprecated code)

The full list can be found in the changelog.

If you are too lazy to read the list or you just want to see it for yourself don't hesitate and visit the demo!

Because of a short time frame (and a busy schedule), some cool features were left out (for now, I'll keep it as a surprise and won't tell you which), but don't worry as they will be included in the next release.

Updated guides (including the one which describes how to upgrade from Open Blog 1.0.0 to 1.1.0) can be found on the support page and Open Blog 1.1.0 can be downloaded from the downloads page.

If you have a problem or just want to say thank you, you can visit the "official" Open Blog thread located on the CodeIgniter forums or contact me via email (bugs can be reported using the bug tracker).

Sincerely,
Tomaž
