Slash 2.2.0 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday November 7, 2001 @05:53AM 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)

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.
