The first beta version of Geeklog 1.6.0 is now available for download. This release incorporates the following projects implemented during the 2008 Google Summer of Code:
- Site migration support and easier plugin installation, by Matt West
- Improved search, by Sami Barakat
- Comment moderation and editable comments, by Jared Wenerd
Other new features include a new plugin to produce proper sitemap.xml files (provided by mystral-kk) and quite a lot of "under the hood" fixes and improvements, e.g. many new and extended plugin API functions. Please see the included changelog (docs/history) for details.
This being a beta, we want to encourage you to try it out and provide us with feedback and bugreports, but you probably shouldn't be running it on a live site just yet.
To recap the 3 projects from GSoC 2008: Matt's improvements address the common problem of changing paths and/or URLs when moving a site to a different server. Plugin installs are now much easier, as you can simply upload the plugin tarball or .zip file directly from within Geeklog. Sami's new search no longer presents the results separated by plugins, which should be more in line with your visitor's expectations. And Jared's comment improvements provide a comment moderation queue, editable comments, comment notifications, and the ability for anonymous users to enter a name (similar to what the Forum plugin already does).
Looking ahead, Geeklog 1.6.0 will be the basis on which this year's GSoC students will be working. And this time around, we should be in a better position to get the results out into a new release quickly, thanks to our switch to Mercurial.

This will be fixed in beta 2. But I'm wondering how you guys configured your PHP - you shouldn't be seeing Notices on a production site.
Likewise, it should be advertised that there's an "edited on" line for edited comments. I have some suggestions about that, but I'll put them in the tracker, not here.
That aside, here are some questions:
1) Is there any way to control sitemap.xml? It has no GUI.
2) Can the commenter later change their mind and disable/enable that new "Notify me of new replies" option? It's not the commenter's fault if the admin chooses not to use the new "disable comments for old articles" feature. I guess I'll put a feature request for an individual "notify for how long" setting.
3) Shouldn't the new "Queue Comment Submissions" option logically belong in the general submission options? Otherwise, the submission option for articles should be in the article settings.
Thanks!
Direct replies only.
The XMLSitemap plugin has its own section under Configuration.
Commenters can always unsubscribe from their comment - a link is in the reply notification email and on every comment they subscribed to.
Just putting this up there as a reminder that this is the most pressing issue IMHO.

But why does the story page times out in the first place. What is the underlying problem

CSRF is the problem.

It seems the lib-custom.php is missing from the 1.6.0b1 tarball. If the install goes through but then your site only comes up with an "Unfortunately, ..." error message, then that is most likely the problem. Just copy over an old version of lib-custom.php or create an empty file with that name. It doesn't contain any required code, it just needs to exist.

Is there an improvement to suggest?
Just curious as I mentored this project last summer. Sami put together, what I think, is a great improvement to the search engine. If there is something that should be tweaked or tuned, let us know!
Ok -- So you're referring to a bug and not to overall functionality.
What I asked was if there was something functional that was missing so that can be addressed.

"touch lib-custom.php" will push the install through.
