Typo 3.99.4

Posted by Scott Laird Sat, 22 Jul 2006 06:43:12 GMT

Typo 3.99.4 is out. Hopefully this will be the final 3.99.x release, and I’ll be able to release 4.0.0 this weekend.

There are a ton of bugfixes in this release, plus a couple new spam-handling features.

First, Typo now includes Akismet support. Akismet is a blog spam filter implemented as a web service. You’ll need to register with them and get an API key before it’ll work. Once its enabled it’ll work alongside the existing spam blacklist system. If a new comment or trackback fails the spam test then it will be saved in a queue for moderation.

There’s a also new ‘Feedback’ tab in the admin interface that shows all recent comments and trackbacks and allows you to publish, unpublish, and delete comments.

I’m really happy with 3.99.4. Give it a spin. You should be able to run gem install typo once Rubyforge finishes replicating it, or you can download the .gem from my server, or you can download a tarball or zip file from RubyForge.

    3.99.4 is a nice upgrade. I did a svn update the other day and to my surprise the admin interface had a new refreshing look with new features. Very nice (especially the new feedback page) and very stable Scott. Nice work!

    Brilliant work, thanks.

    Working fine for me locally (waiting for the 4.0 release to switch over my live blog to typo from wordpress).

    It’s working ok here.

    The DB migration problem I had with 3.99.3 is gone (I moved from Typo 2.6.0)

    Thanks!

    hi scott,

    I’m getting a problem with my host because they have most of the ports closed on the svn service because of people using out of date php scripts. What port do I need open in order to download the typo trunk?

    TCP port 3690.
