BlogX rev 15

The addiction continues... I have several internal beta users at MSFT, and it looks like there are a couple of "real" people out there using it also. I have my hotmail filters a little too strong, or I would have fixed Chris Brooks' reported problem with my RSS link on permalink pages being broken (although it may be fixed... turns out releasing builds at 1:30am is bad).

Warning If you have a site that is working with rev 14 or before, be warning - rev 15 has a whole new CSS model.

Fil Fortes (someone that actually understands CSS) gave me a whole new mockup of what HTML I should be generating, so it can actually be configured with CSS correctly. Anyway, needless to say - if you drop rev 15 onto your site, you will need to update you blogx.css file, or be broken.

Warning There is a new SiteConfig file need - blogxfooter.format.html. I added this for parity with the header - everyone wants their footer to look different, so... there you are.

Anyway, the changes are:

  • WinForms fixes (misc reported bugs from beta users, too early in the morning to remember them all)
  • Added 80% of the work for Windows authentication... this would have been all done, except the winforms front end breaks with Windows auth on... doh!
  • Complete change of the HTML structure outputed - now much more configurable with CSS!
  • Added category RSS feeds

Sources and binaries

Oh, and for those of you that are interested, I have my SourceForge project started... I just need to upload the files!
