Dogfooding Subtext vNext...

Dog Food I just finished pushing the latest bits for the next version of Subtext out to my server... so are they working?

Phil recommended (and I agreed) that it would be a good idea if I tested the upgrade process for the 1.9.3 version on my live blog - and you know what? It worked like a charm! (knocks on nearest piece of wood)

Got a few minutes?

If you've got a few spare cycles this morning, please poke around the site a little bit and make sure that everything looks good and the damn thing doesn't blow up! Most of the changes for this version were centered around implementing the BlogML 2.0 specification, but we also fixed several reported bugs... and I even found time to fix a few other bugs under the hood.

Assuming that we/I don't come across any major show stoppers today, you can expect the latest bits to drop sometime this evening. I'll post the official release notes on this site shortly after the official release.

What others are saying.

Since we didn't come across any real show stoppers today, I went ahead and dropped the latest bits tonight. :)

See my other post for the Release Announcement.

So, first things first; something on this comment page is doing a check on my URL and reporting "Url is not required, but it must be valid if specified."

http://vernsblog.thegillfamily.us:8180/ is an entirely valid URL.

As for st, I am running what you put on sf last night and it seems ok except my comments/trackbacks are 0 (wrong) and my skin doesn't look right. The skin isn't the st dev team's problem per se, just thought I'd mention it.

And, please, how the HELL do I get the HostAdmin reset?

Hey Vern, sorry about the URL validation... seems like my RegExp didn't account for URL's with a specified port number (like yours). I've tweaked it to take that into account... so please try again!

As for the stats being incorrectly reported... that was a bug that I fixed in 1.9.3, but unfortunately the 1.9.2 upgrade also causes the issue. Anyhow, simply posting a new comment should trigger the stats to update correctly.

Just for the record, the new RegExp that I'm using for URL validation is:
^(https?://)?([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+([\w-./?%&=:]*)?$
Let me know if that one works any better for you.

That seems to work now...
