Beta 2 released!

Beta version 2 has been released today.  It adds a couple of features and many bug fixes.

  • Feeds for individual categories and multiple categories
  • Archives are now "paged" with Next and Previous Entries links
  • Administration now shows when there are updates for skins available
  • Search function will do a search in the database if Verity is not available

Category Feeds

You can now have RSS and Atom feeds of single, multiple or all categories (default). <mango:CategoryProperty> tag accepts an attribute to output the rss or atom feed address: rssUrl and atomUrl. No skin currently shows the feeds for categories, but you can add them to your skin. The feed addresses would look like: feeds/rss.cfm/category/somecategory. If you want to have multiple categories in a feed, you can add them in a list format: feeds/rss.cfm/category/category1,category2

Archive paging

A single category can contain many posts. The more posts to be shown in a single page, the slower that page will be. For this reason, I added "paging" of archives. This applies to category archives, date archives or search results. In all skins, I also added a link in the blog home page to previous posts, from which the reader can navigate through all the posts in chronological order.
