I am proud to announce that we have a new major version of Campsite ready
for download. As you will see, Campsite 2.2.0 "Mara" marks a new direction
in Campsite development and a lot of work has gone into it. Most kudos go
to Mugur Rus and Paul Baranowski.
Here are the highlights:
- JavaScript-based HTMLArea has replaced the Campfire Java editor, ending
Campsite's reliance on the Java VM plugin and bringing all sorts of
enhancements, including full what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG).
- a streamlined and beautified user interface
- improved management of multiple instances of Campsite on a single server
(new instances can be created without reinstalling Campsite)
- Automatic publishing/removal of selected articles without human
intervention at a specified date and time
- Article ordering
- New handling of Images (and other Multimedia)
- Publication site aliases: aliases allow Campsite to identify a
publication based on multiple domain names
- Shorter, Search Engine-Friendly URLs
