Dotclear 2.4.2

By xave on Saturday 11 February 2012, 17:45 - News

Hi all!

Here comes a new Dotclear version. This one has been made necessary because four XSS vulnerabilities have been found this week[1]. No time to lose: we corrected them and here comes Dotclear 2.4.2.

As usual, it can be found there: http://download.dotclear.org/latest.zip

As always, have fun.

I'm dreaming of a white Dotclear

Here is our Christmas surprise: Dotclear 2.4.1.2... We did not skip a version, we just decided to numerate this one specially for Christmas (for the more Americans among you, "24/12" means the 24th day of the 12th month, you date-order-challenged! :)

You won't find many new features in this one, but some small tweaks here and there and the patching of a an SQL injection vulnerability that hid itself so well no one found it until now, except for our forum member Adjaya.

That's all. Enjoy yourself, happy Holidays, have fun!

Dotclear 2.4

By xave on Sunday 13 November 2011, 16:13 - News

You can now download our new version:Dotclear 2.4.

In this version, you'll find an new iconset, specilly designed for us by Thomas Daveluy. This allow us to go back to a full GPL distribution, as the version for the icons introduced in Dotclear 2.3 was limited.

You'll also find a new theme, named Ductile, designed to be both easy to adpat to your needs and to fit wathever screen size your readers may use. Along with this theme comes a new plugin, named SimpleMenu, whose purpose is -you guessed it- to allow you to manage a menu of links in a simple way.

This version includes, as is now usual, incremental ergonomic and accessibility modifications. It can be found, as always, at the following URL: http://download.dotclear.org/latest.zip

You may have noticed that two files are attached to this post. once unzipped in the /admin/images/iconset/ folder of your blog[1], they'll allow you to find a new setting in your user preferences, where you will now be able to chose your iconset. Don't let the new icons prevent you from installing the 2.4 if you just loved the 2.3 ones, you can install them if you want.

EDIT: Please note the if you did not apply the changes needed for Dotclear 2.3.1, you will now see a warning in the admin interface.

Notes

[1] That folder has to be created, and each file has to be uncompressed in a specific sub-folder of it. We plan to create a GUI for that feature.

Dotclear 2.3

By xave on Monday 16 May 2011, 21:21 - News

Bonjour everybody !

Here comes the brand new Dotclear 2.3. Whereas our last version was targeted towards internal changes that were not obvious to the user, you will notice changes at once with this one, as it includes the first results of the ergonomics and accessibility study we launched several months ago (and that is just a first step, as it is a work in progress.)

favicon

Please allow me to introduce:

  • An admin backend refresh, harmonization and new icons;
  • More accessible forms;
  • A new handling of user preferences;
  • A new safe mode, for those cases where a plugin locks you out;
  • A new configurable side menu.

While we were working, we squashed quite a log of bugs, not all though, to be sure we'll release other versions in the future. New versions where we will also implements ergonomics and accessibility enhancements.

This new version was well received by our beta testers, I do hope you will like it! Have fun!
