The second beta version of Geeklog 1.4.1 is now available for download. While we still have to sort out some issues (with MS SQL and in a few other places), this release should provide a much more polished experience and preview of the next Geeklog version.

Beta 2 fixes problems with MS SQL, improves multi-language and UTF-8 support, sorts out display problems with the Professional theme, and fixes several other bugs. It also includes updated PEAR packages (specifically PEAR::Mail, which addresses a problem with SMTP). Please see the included changelog for a complete list of changes. There's also a file, docs/changed-files, that lists all the files that changed over beta 1.

After long waiting Garden 1.4 is now available for download!

This theme was developed for french portal www.geeklog.fr where you can see it in action.

Note: This theme is best experienced in Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Internet Explorer 7.

A first Beta release of Geeklog 1.4.1 is now available for download. After the various security issues we had this year, we concentrated on code reviews and bugfixes for this release, but there are also some new features, namely

• Support for Microsoft SQL Server. Yes, for the first time in its history, Geeklog will now also run on a database other than MySQL. The MS SQL support was developed by Randy Kolenko who posted more about it here.
• Calendar plugin. Moving the events and the calendar to their own plugin concludes our work on making Geeklog more modular. Don't need a calendar on your site? Now you can simply uninstall the plugin.
• Multi-language support. It's now possible to build multilingual Geeklog sites where not only the navigation but also the content changes when you switch languages.
• Various other changes, e.g. better spam protection, an option to mass-delete users, redesigned account information, and more.

We're labelling this as a beta mainly for three reasons: The new MS SQL support, the mass-delete user option, and the various changes we made in the Professional theme, all of which will probably need some tweaking. So while you're invited to install 1.4.1b1 and try it out, you may not want to run your site off of it just yet.
