webgen users - Dec 2007 - webgen 0.4.7 relased/infos on 0.5.0

# webgen 0.4.7

I released webgen 0.4.7 today which features some minor feature
enhancements:

* added support for Haml markup
* added support for Sass markup
* gallery file handler is now multilingual aware
* hidden files can now be used by the file handler plugins if the
parameter Core/FileHandler:useHiddenFiles is set to true
This is a recommened update.

# Information on webgen 0.5.0

Alas, webgen 0.5.0 will not be released this year although it is
already very useable. However, it lacks support for some plugins that I
want to have in the release like the gallery and sipttra file handlers.
I think it will be released in January or February.

A short status update on the development (if you want to stay uptodate
constantly, consider subscribing to the webgen-commits mailing list):

* Core/ResourceManager and Tag/Resource are not implemented and working
* a preliminary version of File/BlogHandler implemented which creates a
blog like interface for a collection of pages
* many tags and all content processors from trunk implemented, some
tags are still missing
* many small fixes

The devel version in the repository is always in a consistent state, so
one can use the devel version already by following the steps:

    svn co svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/webgen/branches/head webgen
    cd webgen
    ruby -Ilib -rubygems bin/webgen help
    ruby -Ilib -rubygems bin/webgen -d doc #generates the documentation

Since the blog handler is currently more or less only a proof of
concept, I would appreciate any feedback on it regarding needed
features.

Happy new year everybody,
  Thomas

No, I just said that RSS support is already in the *devel* version
which will not be a 0.4.x release because it is a complete rewrite of
the core webgen code (plugin mangement et al). The devel version will
become the 0.5.0 release once the missing plugins are in there.

So, if you want RSS support now, you would need to go with the current
devel repository as explained in the topic starter. As I already said,
the code in the online repository is always in a useable/stable state,
it''s just lacking some plugins (gallery/sipttra file handler, tag
plugins, misc plugins).
