There's now a variable available in the Header, Footer, Right Sidebar and Left Sidebar that prints a list of the most recent posts: RecentPostTitles — it's documented on those pages.
I've uploaded the first version of Powerblogs initial configuration wizard. It should help force a few important choices before people start blogging to make things easier. At some point, it will probably also mention tips and tricks, too.
I fixed a bug in autosave where it wasn't saving backing up the entire post.
Our weekly archives are now true weekly archives, i.e. the run from sunday through saturday, and will span months or years as necessary to achieve that.
The re-written archives code also fixes all of the over-inclusion problems which had been in the previous weekly archive code.
(Of course, the old type of weekly archives are still being generated in case anyone had a permalink going to it, since permalinks must never break.)
The "Moderate Recent Comments" page now groups unmoderated comments first by post, then by date. This should make the moderation process smoother and easier. Thanks to Dean Esmay for the idea.
The Magic Comments Import script can now import comments as well as posts.
When Powerblogs started, it was tedious to insert images because you had to upload them, then copy over the name of the image. If you were ambitious, you'd also look up the width and height of the image and add them to the image tag.
The "Upload & Insert a Picture" tool improved the situation a lot because it combined the upload and the insertion into one, plus it harnessed the power of computers to do boring work to add the width and height attributes.
It was still tedious to insert the same image into multiple posts, though. While life was good for people who wanted to post pictures of some particular event, there was no good way to use images to signify some category, like a picture to categorize what you're talking about.
All that is finally at an end. There's now a tool to browse through the images which you've already uploaded and insert them! At long last, most anything you'll want to do with images is now easy. Enjoy!
There's finally a script to break post chains. In particular, the "Break Post Chain" page allows you to break one or more posts out of their chains ("Break Post Chain" is found in the "Posts" tab).
Update: There had been a bug with this script where not all of the archives in the post chain were getting rebuilt. That's now fixed.
I just fixed a subtle but really stupid bug in the regeneration code which would cause it to not update some weekly archives if one had sufficiently rewritten history (i.e. changed the display dates significantly on enough posts). It's really amazing how much work it can take to figure out which are the three lines that need changing.
Anyhow, thanks to Steve's help in figuring this bug out, it's now history.
I just fixed a bug in the interface preferences page which wouldn't allow one to select manual formatting as the default.
