As you may have noticed, we had a few problems with our infrastructure. But now our project site (where you can submit bug reports, feature requests, and patches) and CVS (both the CVS viewer and anonymous CVS are back up again. Please use them.

You may want to check if you have a registered user on your site who's email address is new@sys54.3fn.net or new1@sys54.3fn.net (or a variation thereof). On at least two Geeklog sites (including geeklog.net) that user has suddenly started posting comment spam (for drugs and pills) after the account lay dormant for a year or longer. The oldest accounts found so far date back to August 2004.

Account names differ but follow a pattern: 9NoraRebecca, 3BillAlika, 7FlossieOma, 9AlmaNoguri

We suggest that you delete or at least ban that user (banning a user is only supported as of Geeklog 1.4.0). If you find any interesting variation of the above patterns and suspect it's the same user, feel free to email us and send us the details.

Just in time for the new year: The first release candidate for Geeklog 1.4.0 is now available for download.

Quite a few bugs have been fixed, some minor improvements have been made, and so this should provide a much smoother experience than the beta. But still: Remember that this is not the final version yet, so if in doubt, you may want to wait for the official release in the not-too-distant future.

In the meantime, please help us squash the remaining bugs by reporting them in the official 1.4.0rc1 bug thread in the forums. And you don't have to install 1.4.0rc1 to do that, since the demo site has also been updated.
