Subversion

Posted by Michael Dale on Fri, 11 Aug 2006 6:32 PM

We're currently testing public read-only subversion access.

To checkout the latest version of Bluetrait 1.2

svn co svn://svn.bluetrait.org/bluetrait/branches/1.2

Currently you cannot upgrade to a stable version from the Bluetrait 1.2 trunk.

To checkout the dev version of Bluetrait 2.0

svn co svn://svn.bluetrait.org/bluetrait/branches/2.0

As of Bluetrait 2 Alpha 1 you can upgrade from the trunk.

Please note this is the latest code and may have major bugs, please don't run it in a production environment.

Security Issue

Posted by Michael Dale on Fri, 11 Aug 2006 6:18 PM

There is a security issue in the current beta that involves the file upload script. This has been fixed in the trunk (link will be posted soon). A quick fix would be to delete admin/include/upload-script.php

Please note that this is BETA software and has yet to be fully tested against security issues (which will happen before the final version is released).

Security

Posted by Michael Dale on Sun, 06 Aug 2006 9:38 AM

We've just added a security form. If you find any security issues, or your have been hacked, please use this form to let us know.

Admin Panel and Internet Explorer 6

Posted by Michael Dale on Sat, 05 Aug 2006 10:33 PM

We've noticed a large bug with the Admin panel in Internet Explorer 6. The bug causes most of the images within the CSS not to be displayed. This bug has been fixed and will be included within Beta 3. If you're needing a patch asap please contact us.

We're also working on cleaning up and improving the admin panel even further.

On another note, Beta 3 will be officially released under GPL 2.

Beta 2 Refresh

Posted by Michael Dale on Thu, 03 Aug 2006 4:42 PM

We've just released version 0.5.2. This version includes:

  • Fixes to a XSS vulnerability within the admin panel
  • Better Akismet support
  • "Your Comments"
  • General bug fixes

In this version we've also upgraded the way tables are handled. This version includes two new APIs that can be used:

  • $tb->add_table('table_name');
  • get_config('config_name');

As we work towards the release version we plan to clean up some of the code and increase the number of APIs.

The full change log can be found here; we recommend everyone should upgrade to this version.

Screen Shots
