Welcome to Geeklog Wednesday, May 22 2013 @ 11:08 AM EDT
The second beta version of Geeklog 1.4.1 is now available for download. While we still have to sort out some issues (with MS SQL and in a few other places), this release should provide a much more polished experience and preview of the next Geeklog version.
Beta 2 fixes problems with MS SQL, improves multi-language and UTF-8 support, sorts out display problems with the Professional theme, and fixes several other bugs. It also includes updated PEAR packages (specifically PEAR::Mail, which addresses a problem with SMTP). Please see the included changelog for a complete list of changes. There's also a file, docs/changed-files, that lists all the files that changed over beta 1.
Here's what others have to say about 'Geeklog 1.4.1 beta 2':

Yeah, no database or language file changes over beta 1 - just copy the files over the old ones.

In addition, please add Unicode e-mail headers' support for subjects too.
Other than that, I wish you'd add more overdue patches like a public dummy site mail and a protected real site mail.
The patch includes the subject:
http://project.geeklog.net/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/Geeklog-1.x/public_html/lib-common.php.diff?r1=1.583;r2=1.584;cvsroot=geeklog;f=h
Test/look before complaining.
2. Feature requests are not overdue. Security patches might become overdue. Your requested feature, however useful, is never overdue since you are not the one setting schedules on features.
You request for an alternative email message is not a security measure. You are free to use a free email address in case you are afraid of receiving spam and forward only emails incoming from your server to your actual private email address to receive all notifications.

But it is my right to believe protecting my e-mail address is a security request. Imagine if Geeklog didn't protect addresses in its e-mail forms and you'd say "big deal, so use free addresses." Plus, since it's a patch and not just a request, there's no much work applying it.
I got around this by setting staticpages top_en and top_ja both to display as "centerblock whole page" in PHPmyAdmin, as the staticpage editor only allows one staticpage to be set as centerblock whole page for homepage only (obviously correct behaviour without the multilanguage option on).
If multilanguage option is enabled, staticpage editor should allow several pages to be set to top page (best) or default to a single page for all languages (not my preferred option but would be fine too).
Cheers,
Euan.

Can the formatting be moved out to a template and css?
CSS, baby:
(a straight quote from the Professional theme's style.css, btw)
