Subtext 1.9.4 is available for download

Subtext 1.9.4 is available for download from sourceforge. Steve has the breakdown of what's changed; for me the important fixes include

1586661 - PreviousNext.cs double-encodes titles
1596444 - Comment count reset to zero after upgrade
1624536 - Permalink incorrect on Comments control
1629555 - XSS vulnerability in the Admin - Referrers page

New features include

1197046 - Category/ies Displayed In Post
1263669 - Implement Google SiteMap Page

If you're upgrading you should note that Google SiteMap support does need a change to your existing web.config file. In the HttpHandlers section you need to add

<HttpHandler 
  pattern="(?:/Sitemap/?(Sitemap\.ashx)?)$" 
  type="Subtext.Web.SiteMap.SiteMapHttpHandler
    Subtext.Web" 
  handlerType="Direct"/>

Your sitemap URL will be ~/sitemap/sitemap.ashx

Those of you using Google SiteMaps already may know that google wants the sitemap as high up the directory structure as possible and asks you to register the /sitemap directory as a seperate web site. If you don't want to jump through that hoop you can change the pattern for the handler to be

<HttpHandler 
  pattern="(?:/Sitemap\.ashx)$" 
  type="Subtext.Web.SiteMap.SiteMapHttpHandler
    Subtext.Web" 
  handlerType="Direct"/>

to have the sitemap appear in ~/sitemap.ashx

I noticed that you've added your "Back In Black" skin to the Subtext 1.9 branch and it is included in the latest release (Subtext 'Windward' Edition). Was that on purpose? If so, we should probably add it to the Skins.config file so it can be used out of the box.

That probably happened when I pushed a checkin; and forgot to exclude it. Heh.

Feel free to cull it from the central package if you want!

OK, maybe I'm just going crazy... I took a second look and I don't see it either - but I swear I saw it the other day.

At any rate, I downloaded your skin from the SubtextSkins.com site and I noticed that you didn't include a config file. So... if you could, can you update the .zip file and add a Skins.User.config file with the settings needed for your skin?

Thanks Barry!

Ah but if I include a Skins.User.config file, then people may overwrite their existing one; hence the readme.

I should actually document the adding process to the skins download site

I totally missed the README earlier... my bad.

*hangs head in shame*

Thanks for adding the Skin Installation Instructions to the site, that was a good idea. Though, had you not mentioned it I probably would have missed it too.

I really need to be sure to get my caffeine fix before I start my day.
