nospam@example.com (Matthias Mees) — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 08:24:00 +0000

Along with the release of Serendipity v1.2.1 came a new version of Bulletproof, v1.2. It's available for download at http://s9y-bulletproof.com/index.php?serendipity[subpage]=download. (Please note that you do not need to download this release if you have installed or are planning on installing s9y v1.2.1!)

Changes in this release are:

Fixed: Added missing # to skiplinks so they actually work.
Added: Selective inserting of skiplinks.
Fixed: Relocated skiplink anchors to occur just before container instead of within.
Added: print.css stylesheet for print media.
Fixed: Sticky entries now use dateformat defined in template options.
Added: Basic hAtom microformats.
Added: New class of .author to override formatting applied by address tag for entry author.
Fixed: Entry_summary now uses dateformat defined in template options. Minor additional styling for entry_summary for better separation between summary entries.
Added: Class of archive_summary_details.
Added: Rules of abbr, acronym and new class of help to stylesheets.
Fixed: Removed hyperlink from contact form.
Fixed: Relocated frontend_header hook to occur immediately after <title> element.
Fixed: Corrected typo in plugin_staticpage_searchresults.tpl which was emitting an erroneous '>'.
Added: AddThis.com bookmarking widget option.
Fixed: Livesearch support for navbar quicksearch.
Added: Container serendipitySideBarTitleEmpty for sidebar items without title.
Added: Classes and and changed structure of entries_archives.tpl and entries_summary.tpl. Also changed serendipity_Entry_Date from padding to margin.
Fixed: Revised skiplinks. They use existing ids instead of extra skiplink achors, have a lang attribute so screen reader can identify the language used, and the CSS to hide them from visual browsers has been changed.
Fixed: Changed 1col layout. Now both sidebars are put into one (right) sidebar sitting below the content column. Items in this sidebar are be floated left.
Added: theme option to use user.css as an additional stylesheet to override BP colorsets.

Users using BP as their blog's template are strongly encouraged to update to v1.2. Template designers are strongly encouraged to update their BP derivates to this release also.

Major changes will be documented in this blog over the next couple of days (well, might be weeks ). The BP development team is of course available for short notice support in the s9y forums.

nospam@example.com (Matthias Mees) — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 14:04:00 +0100

The Bulletproof development team has finished the most important changes and therefore released v1.1 of the Bulletproof template framework. BP v1.1 is available for download at http://s9y-bulletproof.com/index.php?serendipity[subpage]=download.

Changes in this release are:

added: automagic detection of additional user stylesheets (thanks to Grischa and Garvin!)
added: new theme option for alternate display of number of comments and trackbacks
added: new theme option to suppress the display of footer and/or header for sticky entries; also added a new class for sticky entries to make it possible to style them differently
added: Bulgarian translation (thanks to Ivan Cenov; the Bulgarian translation might not be completely up to date, though)
added: classes to style each row of the calendar individually
added: new theme option to display text and/or icons for the previous/next page links
fixed: display of the BP footer
fixed: display of counter code in BP footer
fixed: the link to the favicon in index.tpl has been commented out due to excessive apache error logging when it does not exist
fixed: firefox horizontal line bug
fixed: new classes for various combinations of sidebars and content
added: new navigation classes for first and last link
added: new div containers at top and bottom of wrapper
added: support for IE5 through additional IE5-specific stylesheet; BP is still not working perfectly in IE5 (and probably never will be), but at least it is usable now
added: default style for preformatted text in entries
fixed: the sidebar sitenav is now contained within a .serendipitySideBarContent container for consistency
fixed: display of 2 column, sidebar left layout in IE (all versions)

BP 1.1 will of couse also be included in forthcoming versions of Serendipity. Users using BP as their blog's template are strongly encouraged to update to v1.1. Template designers are strongly encouraged to update their BP derivates to this release also.

The development team will document these changes in detail over the next couple of days in the Bulletproof documentation blog, but right now, we all could use a little break We are, however, available for support in the s9y forums.
