I know you're supposed to enter a features freeze before releasing a beta up to the final release, but WPFF is such a tiny project that I could not resist adding a few features in this latest beta:
-
a search interface, with RSS/Atom subscription for search results
-
categories feeds (they were already there, I added a page to display them)
-
author pages, listing the author's details and posts
-
new hooks for plugins
Apart from the new features, I have fixed quite a few minor bugs. I am starting writing detailed user and developer docs, and a couple of support scripts to install WPFF and manage the config.php and .htacsess files. As soon as I have finished them I will declare WPFF stable and release 1.0.0.
On a side note, WPFF is now handling around 15-20k pages (not hits, pages) a day on an owerworked old Celeron 900, who is doubling as db server (MySQL+Interbase) and doing tons of other things as well (mailboxes, spam filtering, stats aggregation in SQL, etc.). We often have serious traffic spikes, with a 30 min average of 5-6Mb/sec (which means burst rates of at least double that) which WPFF handles without any problem.
The tarball is in the usual place.
First comment, first bug spotted. :)
Note to myself: post_permalink is not set in plugins/PostComment.php. Uhm, I remember having already fixed it on our sites…..
Unstable 1.0.0 beta3 As promised, I have applied most the patches Jerome sent me yesterday night and released 1.0 beta 3. I chose not to apply the following two patches:
query logging in DB_lite/MySQL.php, it’s a good idea and very useful when you need to debug a SQL …
I noticed the post_permalink vs. notify_post_permalink tag issues – sorry, should have warned you about those. You should also check post_comment_notification.txt for the same issue in beta-3.
Whoops, ignore that last comment – it’s my version that’s broken.
