With no further ado, FlatPress 0.909 is out with all of the improvements I had already listed in the last months.

• More reliable storage with drafts and entry saving (for your paranoid pleasure)
• More configurable plugins (for your customizating obsession)
• Full PHP5.3 compatibility (for your bleeding-edge joy) and still PHP4 (for your hosting suckyness)
• Plus, comment editing (for your spam hate)
• More awesomeness (for your need for awesomeness)

Upgrading advice is always the same.

Get it at the usual place

Have fun!

Giuseppe Fuggiano found a really bad local file inclusion bug, so I’m really asking you to either update to the last file release on SourceForge (0.812.2), or get the SVN package

thank you, Giuseppe!

Just to let you know, it’s a month I’ve been home now; well, I still hadn’t the time for a full blown release, I’m very busy at the moment, trying to deal with day-life :)

Nothing bad, of course. Just be patient, or either grab the source from SVN: report any bug on the forums, so that when I will release I won’t be drowned with your reports! :p

I’d want to include much more in what will become the next release, but I wasn’t not satisfied with the results.

Anyway, here’s what’s in, currently:

• The new draft system
• Fixes and improvements in the index backend
• Full PHP5.3 compliance (it should still be working with PHP4.3, though, but I suggest to upgrade)
• Comment editing
• New config panels for many plugins, such as BBCode, quick antispam, etc.

If you’re looking forward to try all of this stuff, just get the tarball archive from the link at the bottom of the SF page .

I, for one, I’ve upgraded yesterday to SVN my personal blog and everything seems to be working fine :)

I’m leaving for holidays on Monday (my last exam went really well, if you’re interested :) ), so I won’t release an official package, because I wouldn’t be able to help you by fixing bugs during this summer break; but, please, feel free to test it!

Have fun, relax, and we’ll see again when I’m back.

Hugs :)

In PHP 5.3 they deprecated a lot of the PHP4 compatibility (since PHP4 is now actually dead).

Unfortunately this means the sourceforge package out at the moment won’t work with this version.

Even though I have a private life, I’m studying for my last exam of the month, and then I’m finally leaving for the summer break (during which I’ll probably be studying for a bunch of other exams!), I have committed a temporary fix to SVN :)

If you like living on the bleeding edge, you can get a download from the usual place (click the “Download GNU tarball” link at the very bottom of the page), or sync your local SVN repository.

If you don’t feel like upgrading to the unstable SVN, here’s a temporary workaround for your own installation.

1. Open the file fp-includes/core/core.entry.php
2. on line 22 change

   parent::caching_SBPT(

   to

   parent::__construct(

   and save

3. Then let’s now suppress all the deprecations warnings, by killing the errors altogether (I know, this is ugly): go open defaults.php
4. add this code

   function _dummy(){} set_error_handler(’_dummy’);

Bye!
