Changelog

Features Added

• You can now use the enter key to advance through the login field and log in.
• RSS links added for tags, refs, and subscription feed.

Bugs Squashed

• Login form now properly defocuses after login.

Features Added

• Added media support for images. Image links will now have a play button that will replace the text with the image.
• Added a back-end Perl module for the file-level blerg API. The idea is to allow ancilliary functionality (like RSS and mail notification) to be built in Perl rather than C. Hardcore C and shit is good for core database structure, but it's a royal pain for formatting/templating. The docs have also been updated to describe this new low-level API.
• New, less brain-dead RSS implementation using above Perl module. It supports RSS feeds for mentions, tags, and the subscription feed, but it's not currently worked into the UI.
• Database location is now configurable with environment variables.
• Added a way of installing Blërg to an "environment directory" that includes most of what you need to run Blërg (see make install-environment). Still lots to do before I can make Blërg "make install"-able.

Bugs Squashed

• Numerous fixes for 64-bit cleanliness, bad behaviour, and general stupidity.
• Fixed media functionality for Firefox.
• Tested compilation with clang; fixed numerous warnings.

Features Added

• New full-screen editor dialog with preview and reply views.
• Add Markdown and GitHub Flavored Markdown-style code blocks, and GFM-style strikethrough.

Bugs Squashed

• Fixed link clicking in Firefox and Chrome (and probably Safari and Opera). My link handler would consume all clicks, preventing the user from opening links in new tabs with middle-click, or getting a context-menu on right-click. It now only activates on left-click.

Features(?) Added

• Updated frontpage style to better scale to different screen sizes, and maybe even look better.
• Upgraded to Enyo 2.2.

Bugs Squashed

• After posting, you are now redirected to your user page. This was intended behavior, but broken for the past few releases.
• Fix clicking on internal hash/user references in Firefox.
• Properly handle nonexistent/empty hash/user pages.

Features Added

• Passwords are now hashed with scrypt instead of lame old MD5. Source for scrypt 1.1.6 is embedded as it provides no readily usable library.
• Password formats are automatically upgraded upon login.
• mailto: is now supported in markdown links
• Added new Privacy and Data Policies

Editing

• Minor edits to the documentation.

World Turned Upside-Down

• Rewrote front-end using Enyo 2.1

Bugs Squashed

• Links are now recognized inside parentheses/brackets, provided there is whitespace ahead of it.

Features Added

• Added password change support

Bugs Squashed

• Added missing application/json Content-type to success/failure responses

Features Deprecated

• Blerg.httpd (the standalone HTTP Blërg server) is now deprecated. It will not get new features and has been removed as a default build target. Libmicrohttpd is just too obtuse to continue to support. Look for a FastCGI version in the future, or maybe a new standalone version written using libevhtp.

Features Added

• Added support for inline media formats (mp3/ogg) played via the audio tag
• Added autoconf build system graciously provided by Boris Manojlovic

Features Added

• Passwords are now stored as MD5 hashes. See tools/convert_to_md5_passwords.pl to convert old passwords.
• Added notification of new messages from subscribed feeds.

Bugs Squashed

• Users can now log in from multiple locations without clobbering their previous login.
• Fixed some relative URL problems so that Blërg can be more easily used on a subpath.

Features Added

• Added "stalking" (follow)
• Added markdown-style headers (lines beginning with #), wiki-style headers (lines beginning with =), lists (groups of lines beginning with * separated by blank lines), and quoting (lines beginning with >)
• Added permalinks to posts
• Added a new kind of ref tag (@user/N) that links to a specific post, as well as a reply link that auto-enters the perma-ref tag into the content of your post

Bugs Squashed

• Removed the extra whitespace at the end of multi-line posts.
• Fixed paging so that each page is its own URL, which means the back button works in more places
• Fixed a number of places where switching views would do nothing
• Allow formatting metachars to be escaped with backslashes

Features Added

• Added recent tags and posts display
• Added a link to see chatter for users other than yourself
• Changed ref/tag link colors to be gray so that they aren't confused with hyperlinks

Bugs Squashed

• Fixed a few XSS vulnerabilities in regex parsing for urls
• Fixed tag accessibility issues for longer tags
