I released the theme to this site a few days ago to be included in the new dasBlog release 2.2. But if you just looking for a theme for your current dasblog then you might want to take a look at this theme now.

To use, just unzip into your theme directory and change your configuation via the configuration page to use this theme.

The theme gives a link for detail on how to edit your theme to your taste.

We have quite a few new features along with a few new bug fixes.

Custom Macros: The number one issue resolved by this release is the 2.1 version inability to support legacy custom macros. This has been resolved!

Resolved Theme loading issue: (missing Mobile Theme crashed system for mobile browsers)

Added check to delete entry method: only admin or author is allowed to delete; (Window Live Writer (WLW) editing allowed contributor to delete admin posts.

Added OPENID identifier editbox to user edit page: And some cleanup of the sitesecurity classes; (extensive OPENID for comments support added)

web.config for use in IIS7 Integrated mode: (sample file for IIS7 hosting in default Integrated mode, document in release.

Fixed live comment preview bug: (The last allowed tag was not working correctly in the live preview)

Added support for themed 404 pages: (an optional feature if you control IIS)

Fixed IsDaylightSavingTime bug: which always returned false, resulting in comments always being off by one hour.

OPENID Improvements: Added configuration page options for OPENID comments and admin, and updated site.config file; (version upgrades should take updated site.config file change into consideration)

BLOG Stats Macro: Blog Stats macro bug resolved.

Enjoy!

OK We have new Dogfood dasBlog 2.2.8252.15603

This site is Dog Fooding dasBlog 2.11.8163.12568 daily build. I created and posted this daily build today at dasBlog.info, link at CodePlex.

This is a release candidate for 2.11 which resolves the third party macro issue and resulting dupe "Util class" issue.

We were slow enough fixing those issues that the team has pretty much now completed the OPENID for comments capability.

I also made the source is VS2005 buildable, we have a tendadancy to drop VS2008 project files in the source which is a pain for anyone who has not upgraded to VS2008.

Hopefully we will have a good test, and release 2.11 ASAP

Cheers

I updated the dasBlog repository today to resolve the "Utils class defined twice" issue. This release will be tested for the final 2.1.x release soon. We have been having minor problems with SVNBridge, that is why it took so long to update.

I am calling this update 824 here in my blog, that's sort of based on the fact that the old subversion source control incremented by one each time it was updated. And since I started with 823 from SourceForge and this is my first update this would be 824.

The way the TFS source control works is  mystery to me, the first update was change control # 11773 and my new update is 13133. I can only assume that the change control set numbers is for the entire repository and not for just dasBlog. That sort of sucks to be plain about it.

This change control set numbering is going to impact our release numbering also. While we were at SourceForge, before we moved to CodePlex, our release scheme was "version.date.svnrevision#".
Now we will have to consider "version.date.tfsrevision#", which losses some of its value to me!
