Geeklog 1.6.1 BETA 1

Announcements

The first beta version of Geeklog 1.6.1 is now available for download.

This releases fixes quite a few bugs (especially with the comment handling) and rough edges in Geeklog 1.6.0. We've also thrown in some new features, e.g.

  • support for meta tags (keywords and description) for articles, topics, static pages, polls, and the index page
  • better timezone support
  • you can now have one featured story per topic
  • ... and a few more

Please note that this is a beta release, so you may not want to run it on a "live" site just yet. But please try it out and send us your feedback (or bug reports, if necessary).

Special thanks to Tom Homer for providing patches for several of the new features, including the meta tag support.

>Bugfixes: The admin group for the Static Pages plugin was created with a wrong name in Geeklog 1.6.0 (fresh installs only).
Please mention if the upgrade fixes it for those sites or does it only concern fresher installations?
