This major version of our application is not only about upgrading > to Rails 3. It also bring the usual quota of bug fixes and improvements. > > You can download Typo 6.0 as a zip archive ( > http://typosphere.org/stable.zip) or as a tarball ( > http://typosphere.org/stable.tgz), or just try our online demo at > http://demo.typosphere.org. > > Upgrading to Rails 3 was a long and difficult path. Typo was born when > Rails was very very young. We sometimes had to chose some ways to do things > while Rails would chose a totally different way to fix its lacks. Typo 6.0 > is only a first Rails 3 compatible version, and we’re still planning to > ditch the remaining piece of antiquities we're still carrying. > > * Good bye gem and installer > Typo installer has been around for 6 years now. When Rails 1.0 was > released, it really looked like a good idea. Unfortunately it quicly became > an abandonned blotware. Since then, lots of easy way of deploying a Rails > application came, mostly thanks to Passenger and Bundler. That's the reason > why we have decided to drop it. Installing Typo is now easy as, let’s say, > installing any other mainstream blogging engine: fill in your database > credential, run bundle and you’re done. > > * Finally a real plugin API > Thomas Lecavelier did a wonderful job working on what’s going to be the > real plugin API we’ve dreamt of for a while now. He started with making > avatar provider pluggable and knows how much he still has to be done. Good > news as he’s the latest addition to Typo core team. We’re really glad to > welcome him onboard. > > * Admin, SEO and usability > We’ve made some SEO improvement, adding a bit more options, and making tags > URL really SEO friendly. Admin usability has been improved to, but we’ve > many other things we want to make better as well. > > > * Theme changes > Theme structure has been change to be compliant with Rails views structure. > If you’re using a custom template, you’ll have to move the layouts folder > into the views one. Nothing you can’t handle. > > * Bug fixes > As usual, we have fixed a bunch of bugs, Typo 6.0.1 being a real bugfix > release. Please, read our complete changelog about this. > > We're now going to work on a 6.1 version bringing you new feature. > > All the best, > Frédéric, Matijs, Cyril and Thomas > > -- > Frédéric de Villamil > "What's mine is mine.
