slate v0.3.2 released
March 16th, 2007 — 11:53 am —We’ve just released slate v0.3.2 today, which contains a number of new features:
- default content (see our preview of this feature)
- ZIP file support (see our preview of this feature)
- Textile support for blog comments
- RSS feeds for blog comments
- Pagination for blogs
- Syntax highlighting support (blog articles)
...as well as many more new features/changes to the administrative side. I also finally have exceptions being emailed to me again (it did this in a previous release but something apparently broke).
Just some more notes: (from dave)
- help and HOW-TOs will be updated over the next week
- need a better preview of what your content will look like on your page? we’re now drawing all snippets even in preview mode. also, if you click on ‘Preview ‘not only will you get a preview in the content editor but if you look at the related region on your page the new changes will be viewable there. no need to save a draft and then reload the page anymore just to see the style and layout of your new content.
- no more need to hide “new” pages. if you create a page and haven’t published content it will automatically be hidden until you publish content.
- for site admins, have the need to create a custom CSS style? There is now a feature via your site properties to create your own CSS stylesheet. Just put in your CSS code and it’ll be included on every page.
- for those using blogs there are lots of new features. Feedburner support, ability to delete comments, pagination for a blog, Textile support in comments and overall an upgrade to the admin look

I just realized that the RSS feed isn’t terribly informative (i.e. it doesn’t tell what article a comment is associated with).
