Blosxom 2.1.1 released
July 30, 2008.     Axel Beckert

Blosxom 2.1.1, the "never trust a dot zero release" bugfix release for 2.1.0, has been released.

It mainly fixes two bugs:

  • Lilo von Hanffstengel noticed that the GUID in Blosxom 2.1.0 was not working as link and therefore isPermalink shouldn't be set to true. This has been set back to "false" for the default RSS story template. This won't change the GUID itself, but prevent it from being used as link anymore. That's what the tag is for anyway.
  • $url, which contains the base URL according to the documentation, contained the complete URL in some cases, e.g. when called from inside an SSI document. This has been fixed in 2.0.2, but caused the problem to show up in other situations. The (at least with Apache 2.2's environment) no more working manual base URL detection code has been rewritten. It has been made simpler and easier to understand. And it only applies if the base URL was not set manually.

    In those rare cases where neither CGI.pm nor Blosxom manages to correctly determine the base URL, you can easily set $url in the config file to the correct value and no base URL magic happens anymore (except the removing of a trailing slash if present — as before). This closes issue #2032685.
