We’ve upgraded this blog to Wordpress 2.2 and, due to the sponsored themes issue, we’ve also changed the theme with Fluid Blue from srinig.com.

So, the only week away from a PC and has been discovered a vulnerability in the Askimet plugin for Wordpress.
The vulnerability has been promptly fixed with the version 2.0.2, but there is no word about this release on the Askimet blog.
That’s really strange.

PS: Wordpress 2.2 is out!! We will update this blog soon (and, after the sponsored-theme issue, with a new theme).

We’re glad to announce that Open Sitemap Generator is now a db4o Community Project.
You can access its Project Space here.
Thanks to German for his support.

The version 0.6 is out!
In this new version we’re using the great db4o technology to store all the retrieved URLs.
At the moment it’s only a temporary database that is deleted at the crawling’s end, but this will enable us to add a sitemaps management in a future version.
So the main new features are: splitting big sitemaps and using an index file, added an option to ignore html comments, also an installer version (this software is still fully portable).
All the news about this version and a download link are available at the OSG home page.

So, as known, Wordpress 2.2 has been delayed from its original 23rd April release date.
The reason is that the tagging system will not be added in this release.
The developer team is analyzing a new taxonomy system that should be more powerful than the first implementation.
We’re waiting the 2.2 to update this blog that is using at the moment the 2.0.x code.
