Several small bugfixes and the trackback client stuff are now ready for download. And new debian packages are in the repository for metakit, too. Those should be more debian like (the older ones where quite bad hacks). |

PyDS 0.4.19 missing strptime.py in setup archive |
|
I missed adding the strptime.py to the MANIFEST file and so it is missing. Download it here and put it into your PyDS library in for example /opt/pyds/lib/python2.2/site-packages/PyDS/ strptime.py: 22.00 KByte, last change: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 07:50:53 GMT, type: text/x-python click here to download file |

Small bug in NuggetsTool |
|
The NuggetsTool is missing a commit in the definition of new nuggets. As a result, if you only create a nugget without ever changing it in that run of PyDS, it will vanish on stopping the server (due to the implicit roll back at server stop). To solve this, just make at least one change to the nugget. Or upgrade to the current CVS version. |

This is an updated description with all nuggets and template changes needed to fully render your site with weblog trackback enabled. Especially this puts trackback:ping fields into your rss feed, so trackback pinging from aggregators is much simpler. |

Trackback client support now in CVS |
|
Ok, now trackback client support is complete in CVS. You can enter your trackback URL manually with every post, or if your aggregator fetches a feed with embedded trackback:ping tags, this field will be filled automatically. The trackback URL isn't saved with postings, so you have to put in a URL every time you want to ping. Usually this is only with the first creation of a post. This is consistent with the TopicExchangeTool. |

Trackback and PyCS |
|
PyCS is now able to do trackback. I am currently playing around with Python Desktop Server to get it to render trackback links. A description of how to do it follows. There are two nuggets you need to create: You need to call them like the commentsScript and weblogCommentsLink macros in your WeblogRendering.tmpl. You can fetch my default theme with trackback support. |

New metakit packages in the debian repository |
|
The debian repository has been updated to the new 2.4.9.2 version of metakit. The new packages now are repaired (before the libmetakit1 package only consisted of documentation and all stuff was in the -dev package). Newer versions of Python Desktop Server (up from 0.4.20) will only rely on libmetakit1. I sent the URL of my packages upstream to the debian maintainer and hope that he is willing to upgrade the outdated official packages. |

The last fix to make restore going again under windows broke the support for restore under linux. Now it should work under both systems. |

This release contains the listed bugfixes and enhancements below. Nothing fancy, but since it solves some problems, you should upgrade. There are template changes, so you better remove your local templates in ~/.PyDS/templates/ or merge changes back in. Most notably the RSSFeedRendering.tmpl should be taken from the distribution (this is usually not changed, so you can just remove your local copy). |

minimize pinging to weblogs.com and community server |
|
The upcoming version 0.4.18 will have better RSS feed generation that generates much less weblogs.com pinging than the current version. Currently the rss.xml file changes with every rendering, because there is a field in it that is filled with the current date. From 0.4.18 on the lastBuildDate in RSS feeds will be filled with the pubDate of the newest item in the feed. This minimizes pinging, because it minimizes actual changes in the RSS feed file (layout changes for example don't actually change the RSS feed). |

Hal Wine notified me that the restoring with 0.4.17 doesn't work because of a bug in UpstreamTool.py. He sent in patches that will be in 0.4.18. If you need restore, you can download the linked version of UpstreamTool.py and put it into your installation to make restoring work again. |

There were several small bugfixes (a complete list in debian/changelog) to the Python Desktop Server. Most important ones in the backup/restore stuff. The history of seen articles in the aggregator was improved, so you now can synchronize two pyds instances with backup/restore and not be forced to read stuff twice and there are improvements in the XML-RPC and SOAP stuff. The most important change might be the addition of the blogger API and the metaWeblog API (both are currently implemented but not tested!). Due to the many changes an upgrade is recommended. |

metaWeblog and blogger API in PyDS |
|
The Python Desktop Server now supports the blogger and the metaWeblog API. The implementation currently is only in the CVS tree, so if you want to give it a try, get the latest checkout. Especially using other tools with the APIs would be good, to find out interoperability problems. The APIs will be part of the upcoming 0.4.17 release. |

Little bug in categories |
|
If you use categories, there is currently (as of 0.4.16) a bug in the generating of RSS feeds for those categories: they will include all postings, not only those for the category. To repair this, you can upgrade to the 1.74 CVS version of WeblogTool.py, that repairs the bug. |

Switch on Upstreaming |
|
One of the most often asked question: why isn't the Python Desktop Server upstreaming, even though I posted stuff? Simple: as a default, the upstreaming is disabled (as is regular pinging of the cloud). So just go to your preferences for upstreaming and activate upstreaming. Afterwards everything should run fine. |
