Apache Roller 3.0 RC1
From the roller-dev mailing list (with minor edits for HTML readability):
Finally, we have a release candidate for Apache Roller 3.0 (incubating).
I've provided links to all of the release files, what's new information,
updated docs and Roller Support project downloads.
Please test out the new release and provide feed back here on the list
in our JIRA bug tracker. I expect that there will be a least a couple more
release candidates.
The Roller webapp (the binary release)
The Roller source (the source release)
*** New features
This is a major new release of Roller with these new features:
* The front-page blog
Front-page of a Roller site is now an easy-to-customize weblog
* Completely new URL structure for weblogs and feeds
Old URLs are HTTP 301 redirected to appropriate new URL
* Completely new macro system
With complete documentation. Old system is deprecated but still supported
* Non-core themes and plugins moved to Roller Support site
For development, support and maintenance by wider Roller community

*** Roller Support project sources
Roller Support project now responsible for development, support and maintenance
of non-core Roller themes, plugins and other add-ons.
Roller Support project: home page, additional themes, additional plugins, required JARs.
Nice work Roller dev team! I didn't contribute much to this release, but I sure am looking forward to using it.
1. The themes and plugins available through roller-support are only in tar.gz format. That's *really* weak, and instantly drops the number of users for roller to a minority of unix users.
2. I really hope someone put's together an one click "install" for roller. Since moving to apache forces hibernate jars to be distributed elsewhere, it's made installing roller a heck of a hassle. Makes me wonder what the benefit of being an apache project is? straight up hosting through java.net (like roller-support) would make it easier to integrate with LGPL libraries.

boolean allowNewUsers = RollerRuntimeConfig.getBooleanProperty("users.registration.enabled"); System.out.println("<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< allowNewUsers: " + allowNewUsers);It returns a "false" although it is set to "true" in the rollerRuntimeConfigDefs.xml file.
System.out.println("<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Properties: " + RollerRuntimeConfig.getRuntimeConfigDefsAsString());This print statement prints the entire file as a string and it confirms that the "users.registration.enabled" property is set to "true".
Why is RollerRuntimeConfig.getBooleanProperty("users.registration.enabled") returning false?
I went a set further and hardcode allowNewUsers to "true" and I was able to input my registration info but upon submitting I got an error saying "New users disabled!" when I traced the error string I found out that the the newUserAction class was also reading the rollerRuntimeConfigDefs.xml to make sure "users.registration.enabled" property is set to "true". and so it did not save the user.
I ask again why is RollerRuntimeConfig.getBooleanProperty("users.registration.enabled") returning false when the value is set to "true"?
