blojsom 2.17 (Codename: <cartman>Bad Kitty</cartman>) - Released July 20, 2004
Core
The caching fetcher now only creates a single instance of the in-memory cache of entries. This should save memory for plugins or extensions that create an instance of the fetcher for their own purposes.
Extensions
Updated Atom API servlet to set parameter decoding for UTF-8.
Updated the web administration console for easier navigation and an improved color scheme.
Added Reload Blog Properties Plugin which synchronizes a user's blog properties in memory with blog properties on disk. This is useful if you are adding, editing, or deleting blog properties not available for editing using the edit blog properties administration interface.
Added Convert Line Breaks Plugin which will convert line breaks into <br /> tags in your blog entry descriptions.
Added Internal Aggregator Plugin to pull entries from the configured blogs that have opted-in for aggregation.
Moved Days Since Posted Plugin and Word Count Plugin to the statistics package. The package name in your global /WEB-INF/plugin.properties will need to change from org.blojsom.plugin.common to org.blojsom.plugin.statistics.
Updated Categories Administration Plugin to accept a category description so users do not have to know the particular meta-data for setting that property on a category.
Added Gallery Plugin. This plugin provides a very simple mechanism for adding links to photos in a Gallery website. It is a work-a-like copy of the Gallery Link Plugin for Movable Type.
