vthemes plugins version 1.5.1 is now available for download.

What's new : Some bugs fix, improvements and an online config. Visit the vThemes Wiki for more information.

Ever since its inception, Geeklog has been using CVS as the source control system. We have discussed moving to a more "modern" system (e.g. Subversion) on more than one occasion, but the benefits always seemed minimal. And so we kept on using CVS.

Fast-forward a few years and a new class of version control systems has arrived: Distributed version control (DVCS). These systems come with support for easy branching and merging built in, which allows for parallel and experimental development that can still be merged back easily into the main development line. And a checkout is a self-contained repository that can even be used offline (and changes can be merged back later).

After the successful test run with Mercurial during this year's Summer of Code, we have now made the switch: From now on, the Geeklog repository is powered by Mercurial.

Pure 1.5.1 is now available for download! It is a tableless and full css design in the same way of Nouveau (Eric Warren) and Chameleon (Mark Evans)

Features:

• Tableless markup. All appropriate markup is created with tags and other elements.
• SEO friendly where content comes first in the code, followed by side blocks.
• MooTools Javascript Library v1.11 integration. (learn more at http://mootools.net) We have also included some MooTools based javascript widgets.
• Additional typography elements with enhanced block class styling, quote and code styling, list styling...

We have tested it in Firefox 2/3 IE 6/7, Opera 9, and Safari 3 on Windows.
