Geeklog 1.7.1 is now available for download. This is a bugfix update for Geeklog 1.7.0, but also adds some new features such as the ability to use Static Pages as templates for other Static Pages.

Bugs addressed in this release include loss of the comment type for plugin comment submissions and an additional HTTP header that was sent in 1.7.0 but conflicted with some plugins, e.g. the Forum plugin. We recommend this update for all users of Geeklog 1.7.0.

After several months required for the development, here is the first official release of the Maps Plugin 1.0.5.

This plugin allows you to create google maps, after creating the necessary key to the Google Maps API. On each map, you can, as well as users of your site, add markers. The idea is to provide a collaborative tool that allows you to create and update maps.

In this first public release, you have an Autotag to show the maps and markers, where Autotag are allowed in your website (stories, static pages, blocks ...). You can also show a map created on the fly using Autotag. To do this, please refer to the documentation page.

The first release candidate for Geeklog 1.7.1 is now available for download.

Geeklog 1.7.1 is mostly a bugfix release over 1.7.0, but also introduces some new features, such as the ability to use static pages as templates for other static pages.

Please download this release candidate and give us your feedback (but keep in mind that it's not the final version yet, so you may want to wait for the final 1.7.1 for mission-critical sites). If possible, we would like to keep this release cycle short so that we can concentrate on keeping our schedule for the next major release, Geeklog 1.8.0, which we still plan to ship some time in November.
