07/05/2007: "Greymatter 1.7.3 is released"



The latest and greatest next release of Greymatter has been released a few days ago. Greymatter is the original weblogging and journal software originally written by Noah Grey and now maintained by a group of developers hosted out of the greymatter forums. It is written in Perl, doesnt need a database, supports most blogging features; comments, banning spam, feeds (RSS, RDF and Atom) and much more.


I have updated this and my other blogs to 1.7.3 and everything seems to be going well. A big thanks as always to Coldstone for his sterling efforts on this version. The new features and updates (from the forum) are:

WARNING: Default wonderland password now crypted, GM 1.7.4 will not allow plaintext passwords, see notice

Refactored gm.cgi to use new request routing logic (to prepare for admin overhaul)

NEW FEATURE: added 'pageing' to Control Panel Log. Pages are 100 lines.

NEW FEATURE: added 'pageing' to Ban List. Pages are 25 lines.

Fixed bug with poorly optimized sorting:

You could at least make an effort to say what Greymatter *is*. Believe it or not, but not everyone knows your pet-program as well as you do.

Sorry, good point. I have updated the post to show a little about what Greymatter is.

cheers

It was good decision to write a little about what Greymatter is. I'm surprised that Greymatter doesn't use a database. It's a little strange...

Thanks for your post Robert. Whilst my day job is database security I have always liked Greymatter because of its simplicity of implementation and non use of a database (smaller target). There are however plans to move to a database in the future if the user so wishes.

cheers
