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)

    http://slashdot.org/palm/ doesn't do it for you?

    Well, the obvious answer is to have a separate slashdot user ID for reading off your Palm, and set that user to read in light mode. It shouldn't hurt too much having an extra user since, I would guess you wouldn't want to do that much posting from the Palm anyway. Of course, I don't know enough about Avantgo to know if this answer makes sense.

    Add year to (at least some of) the dates.

    Login.
    Go to the homepage preferences.
    Choose a time/date format with a 4 digit year.
    Voila.

    There already is a Gnus client for Slashdot. It allows you to use Gnus scorefiles and everything. Sometimes I wonder if Emacs hackers belong to a totally different species.

    That is somewhere with one of the next couple of items I will toss in. Expect it sometime in the next couple of weeks (I have other changes that I want to go in at the same time).

    Actually the gzip filter is a really clever way to determine whether you're posting ascii art or repetition.

    It's been eased up a couple of weeks ago and now catches very little except ascii art. It used to catch comments posted in the mode "Code" pretty frequently but that's been fixed as well.

    If anyone has good examples of genuine attempted comment text that trips the compression filter, email it to me and I'll see about fixing it.
