Colors 1.5.0 is now available for download!

Green is the first color, blue, red, orange and a black and white version will be available soon.
This theme was developed by ::Ben from french portal www.geeklog.fr.

After almost 18 months in the making, Geeklog 1.5.0 is now officially out and available for download.

To recap: This version incorporates the results of the 2007 Google Summer of Code, namely:

• New user-friendly install script by Matt West
• New Configuration GUI (replacing config.php) by Aaron Blankstein
• New Webservices API based on the Atom Publishing Protocol by Ramnath R. Iyer

A big round of applause please for Aaron, Matt, and Ramnath for adding these great new features to Geeklog. And a big thanks to Google for running the Summer of Code program and making all this possible!

Geeklog 1.5.0 also brings support for OpenID and LDAP, subcategories in the Links plugin, support for XHTML, and more.

We also owe you information about some security issues in Geeklog that we haven't disclosed yet: All Geeklog versions prior to 1.5.0 are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery attacks. There are also some security issues in kses, the HTML filter we're using in Geeklog.

The second release candidate for Geeklog 1.5.0 is now available for download. We expect this to be the last release candidate before the final release, so if you haven't had a chance, now would be a good time to try out the new features in 1.5.0 and help us track down any remaining bugs.

The changes over rc1: The bundled plugins will no longer read the old config.php files, setting the site's default language and theme in the Configuration now works, and inconsistencies in the layout of the admin screens have been fixed. There were also quite a few changes for internationalisation, which also required a few more theme changes.
