Looks like either the forum is under a heavy load or my (cheap, yes that’s why I ask to donate ;)) host is under heavy load, but I’ve found a bit difficult accessing the forum in the last few minutes.

Now, see why I like FlatPress? :D

I think I’m almost ready for a release, but I need you to test! test! test!.

Sooo, if you’re willing to help download FlatPress 0.803 (Vivace) now! :)

Get it while it’s hot :D

I hadn’t updated the changelog in a while, but changes are huge, a new DB backend (still not the best, but for that there’ll be the thesis), a new system to let plugin hook the admin panel, new cookie handling, new security features (wpnonce), etc etc…

Known Issues

I’ve found out issues with sessions I couldn’t track down.

This means that if you have “AccessibleAntispam” enabled it might not work giving a “wrong result” error.

The problems is that this happens even if the result is correct.

Unfortunately this doesn’t happen always, so I wasn’t able to fix it. I hope you can help.

How to upgrade

• BACKUP your fp-content/; please I WON’T be responsible for any damage! (but I’d anyway feel responsible if anything happened, so be kind, and save me another headache ;))
• Check your drafts. Drafts are now working in a different way. So either publish your old drafts or they’ll result on your home page. You can also re-save them, once you have finished upgrading.
• Rename your old FlatPress installation
• Upload the new FlatPress directory you have already unpacked
• Install the new FlatPress
• Move to the new fp-content/ your old content/ and images/, attachs/ (if any). Do not move config/, cache/ or users/ to the new installation
• Clear the cache/ contents
• Point your browser to the home page and wait for it to recreate the db (it will take a while, depending on the number of posts).
• Once the page is loaded FP is ready. Login and enjoy.
• (remember your drafts ;) )

If anything goes wrong please report it on the forum and let me know; in the meanwhile you can take back your old FlatPress installation by moving back the content/, images/, attachs/ dirs.

Please report any bugs!

bye!

…so please be patient guys if I can’t be quick answering your questions…

I’m err… almost… done with my exams.

It’s been a long month and it’s still not finished, d’uh!

On Wednesday there’s another test, and hopefully the next week there should be the last one (if all went well for the written part… I’m a bit worried)

bye!

Simon Jolle:

I requested a Debian Package for Flatpress, see http://bugs.debian.o … eport.cgi?bug=466297.

Feel free to add comments to this open wishlist request

That’s cool, thank you :)

On Monday I’ve committed the hash thingie; it seems to be working nicely.

Also, I’m almost officially a thesist, and, can you guess? The thesis will involve FlatPress.

We have to still define the details but it will probably involve rethinking and rewriting the indexing system (which is still quite crappy), and maybe multiuser support, so you’ll fianlly stop asking when it will be there :P

Supporting more than one user, despite what you might think, is anything but a trivial task, and not because I’ll have to handle registrations for users, but because of the usual concurrency problems, which at the moment aren’t critical.

So it might end that those damn Petrinets will come in handy after all.

Now I’ve only to pass this 3 exams.

Please be nice to me, I’m very busy :P
