Run gem install typo and then typo install /some/path to install Typo.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Tags. The ‘keywords’ field in the Typo admin UI (as well as many blog editors) has been commandeered to provide tagging for Typo. Tags are separated by spaces (just like Flickr). If you want to include a space in a tag, then use quotes.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Improved spam management. There’s a “Feedback” tab in the admin interface that lists all comments and trackbacks so they can be bulk-deleted. In addition, Typo can now use Akismet for spam filtering.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>File uploads. You can now upload images and other content directly from the admin UI.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Podcast support (experimental).</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Email and/or Jabber notification of new content, including comments and trackbacks.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Support for posting articles with a future posting date. Pre-posted articles don’t appear on the blog or feeds until their posting date passes.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>A new cache system that automatically times out stale entries. Several types of content, including the Flickr sidebar, will automatically cause the page to be rebuilt every few hours to ensure freshness.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Cleaner migrations.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Rails 1.1 support. Rails 1.1.4 is strongly recommended. Rails 1.0 won’t work at all.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Improved sidebar support, with a cleaner <span class="caps">API</span> and more built-in sidebars.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Gravatar support for comments.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Comment previews.</li> </ul> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 06:08:00 -0500 urn:uuid:2541a4f2-4813-43f7-a5e6-9e7a07d235ca Joe Homs http://www.typogarden.com/articles/2006/07/24/typo-4-0-is-out <p>Leevi! Just the guy I wanted to talk to. Origami fails horribly on 4.0. I wonder if there were any quick way to make it work with 4.0?</p> Fri, 04 Aug 2006 11:55:34 -0500 urn:uuid:0bf190f7-7b27-4a47-83af-a0a820e12bdc http://www.typogarden.com/articles/2006/07/24/typo-4-0-is-out#comment-778 <p>Why not have another theme comp???</p> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 07:55:31 -0500 urn:uuid:56ec45e6-3fa5-4883-b84b-27a7f4ff4c1a http://www.typogarden.com/articles/2006/07/24/typo-4-0-is-out#comment-777 <p>A number of old themes might break the new version of typo. It might not be a bad idea to put out a call to all the theme contributors for this site to go back and update their themes for the latest version of typo.</p> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 17:01:00 -0500 urn:uuid:6e004675-bb73-4d88-8201-733a691e4d7c http://www.typogarden.com/articles/2006/07/24/typo-4-0-is-out#comment-768
