of files that have been changed since the last release.</p>
+ <h2><a name="changes1310">Geeklog 1.3.10</a></h2>
+
+ <!--
+ <h3>New Default Theme</h3>
+
+ <p>This release comes with a new default theme: We've chosen the Professional
+ theme, kindly provided by Victor B. Gonzales (of <a href="http://aeonserv.com">Aeonserv</a> fame). The theme has been modified slightly and is now fully HTML 4.01 and CSS compliant.</p>
+
+ <p>We've also decided to remove the old set of themes (Classic, Clean, Digital Monchrome, Gameserver, Smooth Blue, XSilver, Yahoo) from the distribution. They are now available as a separate tarball.</p>
+ -->
+
+ <h3>New Features</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Story Archive feature: It is now possible to move stories to an "archive"
+ topic or have them deleted automatically at a given time.</li>
+ <li>PDF support: Stories can be converted into PDFs (requires installation
+ of third-party software - see config.php for details).</li>
+ <li>Customizable menu bar: The site's menu bar can now be configured in
+ config.php, i.e. you can choose which entries should be displayed there and
+ in which order. It's also possible to add custom entries by providing a
+ function in lib-custom.php.</li>
+ <li>Clickable links in text postings: URLs in non-HTML postings are now
+ recognized by Geeklog and displayed as clickable links.</li>
+ <li>Customizable welcome email: The email that is sent out to users
+ registering with your site is now fully customizable by providing the
+ text in a text files (/path/to/geeklog/data/welcome_email.txt).</li>
+ <li>Timezone hack: The popular "timezone hack" is now included. It lets you
+ set the site's timezone for when your server is located in another
+ timezone.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Other Improvements</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Various changes have been made to improve the overall performance.</li>
+ <li>The calendar's week can now either start on a Sunday or a Monday.</li>
+ <li>The Static Pages plugin now has an option to display a printer-friendly
+ version of a static page.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h4>Comments</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The comment code has undergone major changes to improve performance and
+ add improvements like the ability to link to individual comments,
+ paging comments, etc.</li>
+ <li>Users can now report abusive comments to the site admin.</li>
+ <li>The site admin can get an email notification when a new comment is
+ posted (similar to the notification emails for new stories, links,
+ events, and users).</li>
+ <li>The IP addresses of comment posters are now tracked and can be looked up
+ directly by linking to a Whois service (or you can install Tom Willet's
+ <a href="http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=68255&package_id=95743">NetTools</a>, which include a Whois function).</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Bugfixes</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Previewing and saving a story submission left the submitted story in the
+ submission queue, but did additionally save it as a new story.</li>
+ <li>Deleting an event from the personal calendar didn't work.</li>
+ <li>Old userphotos weren't removed when the new photo had a different file
+ type (e.g. when changing from a .gif to a .jpg).</li>
+ <li>Scaling images didn't work when the image exceeded the max. height but
+ not the max. width.</li>
+ <li>Keeping an unscaled image wasn't possible when using gdlib to rescale
+ images.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>This release contains various improvements provided by the Geeklog community
+ (see the <tt>docs/history</tt> file for proper credits). Thank you!</p>
+
+
+ <h2><a name="changes139sr1">Geeklog 1.3.9sr1</a></h2>
+ <p>This release addresses the following security issues:</p>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>It was possible to post anonymous comments, even when anonymous comment
+ posting had been switched off in config.php.<br>
+ This bug was apparently exploited by spammers to send hundreds of spam
+ posts to certain Geeklog sites.</li>
+ <li>Added additional speed limit checks for comments and submissions.</li>
+ <li>If none of the topics were visible for anonymous users, the site's index
+ page may still have displayed some stories for anonymous users, depending
+ on the stories' permissions.</li>
+ <li>Users still got Daily Digest emails for topics from which they had been
+ removed (bug #178).</li>
+ <li>It was possible to subscribe to the Daily Digest for all topics, even if
+ the user did not have access to certain topics.</li>
+ <li>Comments to stories were sometimes listed in a user's profile, even if the
+ user viewing the profile didn't have permissions to access the story the
+ comments belonged to.</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <h3>Other fixes</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fixed an SQL error in <code>COM_showTopics</code> if users excluded topics
+ from their preferences.</li>
+ <li>Fixed sporadic "Duplicate entry '...' for key 1." messages in error.log,
+ caused by the handling of pseudo-session ids for anonymous users.</li>
+ <li>Fixed incorrect author names in Daily Digest (bug #207).</li>
+ <li>The <code>plugin_profileblocksedit_<i>plugin-name</i> Plugin API function
+ wasn't working due to a missing piece of code in usersettings.php.</li>
+ <li><code>COM_extractLinks</code> will now ignore anchor tags that do not
+ contain "<code>href</code>" (bug #183).</li>
+ </ul>
+
