Bad Behavior 2.0.23

Plugins

Michael Hampton has been busy updating Bad Behavior, blocking new spambots and fixing the occasional false positive. Since the Geeklog version of Bad Behavior was a few revisions behind, I've made a new package to update the Geeklog plugin to the latest version 2.0.23.

You can download Bad Behavior 2.0.23 for Geeklog from the download area. For the release notes, please see the Bad Behavior homepage.

Reminder: Geeklog at FrOSCon

Geeklog

Just a quick reminder: Geeklog will have a booth at this year's FrOSCon, an open source conference to be held in Sankt Augustin, Germany, on August 23 + 24, 2008. If you have a chance, drop by and say Hi!

Some of the FrOSCon presentations will also be streamed live, including the keynotes by Andrew Tanenbaum (on Saturday) and Rasmus Lerdorf, the inventor of PHP (on Sunday). For Dirk's presentation about the Atom Publishing Protocol, you'll have to be there in person (or wait for the recording to be made available after the conference).

See you at FrOSCon!

Future PHP and MySQL support in Geeklog

Geeklog

As you may have seen, August 8, 2008 saw the release of PHP 4.4.9, the last version of PHP 4, ever. In other words, support for PHP 4 by the PHP developers has now officially ended.

For those of you still running your site on PHP 4, now would be a good time to start looking into upgrading to PHP 5. Check with your hosting service.

What does this mean for Geeklog? While there is no immediate pressure to drop support for PHP 4, it would certainly make our lives a bit easier. There will be a bugfix release for Geeklog 1.5.0 with the exact same minimal requirements as 1.5.0 (i.e. PHP 4.1.0). After that, we will start integrating the results of this year's Summer of Code - and we may very well raise the minimum requirements a bit for that release.

But by how much? Let's have a poll to find out what you are running on.

Install from backup coming to Geeklog

Summer of Code

Geeklog is getting a migration feature with a little help from BigDump.

One of my projects for the 2008 Google Summer of Code is to add the ability for a user to install Geeklog from a previous backup. The goal is to make it simple and easy for you, the user, to migrate and install Geeklog from a backup database file.
