Version 7.0.0

Contents

• Caution
• Repairs
• Updates

This release cleans up the configuration, restores support
for users with 640×480 screen resolution, repairs some
defects, and improves performance, the default CSS theme,
and the documentation.


1 Caution #

• In config/blog.yaml, the following parameters have been
renamed:
□ recent_entries → num_recent_entries
□ table_of_contents → generate_toc

• In config/format.rb:
â–¡ The <format:verbatim> tag has been renamed to
<noformat> for consistency with the <noscript> HTML
tag.

• All forms of punctuation are now replaced with a single
dash (-) in output file names. As a result, you might
have to update your existing usage of URLs to other
blog entry output files.

• The rake clean command now removes all output files
that were generated by Rassmalog—instead of removing
all files that were copied from input/ into output/.



2 Repairs #

• The search page is now updated whenever a blog entry is
updated.

• The search form was being submitted (causing the entire
search page to reload) when JavaScript was disabled in
Firefox.

• The default CSS theme is now friendly for users of
640×480 screen resolutions. In fact, the theme is now
fully elastic, and thereby supports any screen
resolution!

• URLs for fragment links are no longer shown in the
printer-friendly CSS style.



3 Updates #

• You can now use eRuby directives and HTML formatting
directives in the values of more parameters in config/
blog.yaml. The documentation for these parameters has
been updated with usage emblems.

• The performance of the Chapter#[] method has been
improved.

There were a few overlooked issues with yesterday's 7.0.0
release, so I made a new 7.0.1 patch release with the fixes:

Version 7.0.1

This release repairs the following defects:

• Redundant dashes (-) are now squeezed into a single
dash in URI fragments.
• Added consistent padding for blockquote in the
input/styles/screen.css file
