Slash 2.2.0 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the blog-yourself-silly dept.

If you meander over to Slashcode, you will notice that Slash 2.2.0 has been released. This is of course the website engine that runs Slashdot. The release has the message system, improved journal functions, new comment filters, and countless bug fixes. And of course a variety of optimizations that continue to make it possible to serve a quantity of pages that no other open source package like this can even touch :) Plus it's way easier to install. Now that we've got the Fry tree out of the way, its off to work on Zoidberg (which will include subscriptions, killfiles, and a few surprises)

    ...Slash code has a variety of new improvements for users and administrators alike!

    For example, the new SlashTag &ltgoatsex>, which saves you the tedium of having to do all that HREF and HTTP:// stuff.

    "I there any plans to stop this first post c##p in the code"

    Yes, I hear that Taco plans to introduce the following snippet into Slash:

    if(comment.number() == 1)
    {
    post.abort();
    }

    ie. anybody trying to post a first comment to a story will be rejected, only the second, third etc. posts will be allowed.

    HTH.

    It's open source, that's really the only documentation any reasonably intelligent person needs.

    You've obviously never read slashcode.
