We found a few more bugs in 1.8.0rc1, so we decided that another release candidate was necessary. Geeklog 1.8.0rc2 is now available for download.

This version fixes problems with the plugin update option, with updating from an old Geeklog version, and also fixes a (non-exploitable) SQL error with comment notification emails.

We would appreciate any feedback on this release candidate. Also, if you have a chance to run this version on a test setup, please try to upgrade a copy of your site's database to help us ensure we've solved all the upgrade problems now. Thank you!

If all goes well, the final 1.8.0 will be out by mid-June.

The first Release Candidate for Geeklog 1.8.0 is now available for download.

This version fixes the problem with OAuth and OpenID users being logged out after 2 minutes. Users which log in via Facebook or LinkedIn OAuth now also get their full name as their Geeklog username instead of the number / string of random characters that were used before (Twitter OAuth was not affected and continues to use the Twitter username).

Please try out this version and help us track down any remaining issues. Thank you.

The second beta version of Geeklog 1.8.0 is now available for download and has also been installed here on geeklog.net for you to try it out.

The new features have already been documented elsewhere, but the most visible ones are those "Login with Facebook" and "Login with Twitter" buttons. So if you are using one of those services, you can now use your Facebook or Twitter credentials to log into geeklog.net (and, potentially, any other Geeklog site, if the site admin enables it).

As for changes since the first beta - there were quite a few of them, actually. Quite a few things had to be tweaked, including the theme and the language files, so we decided that a second beta was necessary before we move on to release candidates. And for that, we need your help!
