Another step closer to WikyBlog 1..7.1, the first release candidate builds on the advancements made in the previous beta releases. Changes specific to the release candidate include renaming comments along with files and bugfixes.

The gallery plugin was updated today. The newest version of the plugin maximizes the browser window space for gallery images by placing the thumbnails and control buttons on the side of the window. We've also added larger control buttons, placed the image captions along side the images and improved image preloading.

Here's an example gallery of a recent climbing trip I went on.

Section editing is a popular feature on other blogging platforms that hasn't quite made it into WikyBlog's feature set for various reasons. It's a feature I'm a big fan of, that is except for the addition of edit links at every heading. So, after some testing and playing around, I've come up with a way to accomplish section editing without all the annoying edit links.

This new feature is currently in testing, and initial tests on Firefox and Explorer are promising, it won't be available until it has been fully tested.

A new plugin was added to WikyBlog today. Users of WikyBlog can now collaborate on galleries (slideshows if you prefer) in true wiki fashion with image searching and drag 'n drop organization.

The Gallery plugin can also be downloaded and added to your own installation of WikyBlog.

Version 1.7, the newest stable release of WikyBlog is now available for download. Notable for the newest version of WikyBlog are enhanced image attachment, revision history and organization features. WikyBlog has also been made faster and more efficient by simplifying tab/content tracking, further optimizing queries and improving content negotiation.
