## 2008.07.07 - Sputnik 8.07.07

An new "Earth" release is out with tons of new features.  See [[Installation]] and [[Features]].

## 2008.03.11 - SQL Storage, Gitorious, demos and list activity

There has been much activity on the list in the last few weeks.  Jim started
implementation of [[SQL Storage]].  We moved the repository to
[Gitorious](http://gitorious.org/projects/sputnik)
Yuri added two more demos: [[Slideshow Demo]]
and [[Graphviz Demo]].

## 2008.02.21 - LuaUsers Demo

A demo of Sputnik running with [http://lua-users.org/wiki/](http://lua-users.org/wiki/)
content, using lua-users' markup syntax and visual style is available at [[LuaUsers]].

## 2008.02.10 - Updated the demos and documentation

Updated the demos: [[World Clock]], [[Demo Album]] and [[Tickets]].  They all work now.
Also added some new documentation - see [[Features]] for the links.

## 2008.02.08 - This site is now running Sputnik 8.01.01

This should stop the spam.  This also means that a script to port the data from the
old file is ready. I will release it in a few days once I have a chance to test it
a bit more.

The [colors](http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/colors/) library now has it's own home.

## 2008.01.01 - Sputnik 8.01.01

A new Versium-based version is available, see [[Installation]].

## 2007.10.31 - The first version of 0.3-beta

The first RC of Sputnik 0.3-beta is ready and is available in two versions:
[mini](http://media.freewisdom.org/etc/sputnik-0.3.0-beta-mini.zip) and
[full](http://media.freewisdom.org/etc/sputnik-0.3.0-beta.zip).  I recommend
that you start with mini, which has all the basic features, but not the more
complicated examples and extensions.

## 2007.08.15 - Metapages implementation

A more complete implementation of [[Metapages]] committed in trunk and most of
the pages were converted to take advantage of this.  A side effect of this is that
the list of fields for the page is now configurable on per-page basis.  In other
words, to add a field to a class of pages, you just need to add an entry to the
`fields` field of their metapage.  The templates do not yet use `.fields` but they
will soon.

## 2007.07.29 - LuaPOD works in Trunk

The version in trunk now works with Perl-style [[POD]] format.  Lots of small fixes
for display history in trunk.

## 2007.07.18 - 0.3.0 Alpha released

The site has been getting quite a few visits in the last few days, and since trunk was
in a much better shape than the previous release (0.2.1), I fixed a few more bugs and
cut a preliminary release - 0.3.0-alpha.  "Alpha" here means that we are still working
on the full version of 0.3 and the APIs may be unstable.  There are no serious bugs in
the code that we know of, however.

This release includes an update to [[Internationalization]] and experimental support
for [[Metapages]].

## 2007.07.08 - Big fixes in trunk

Lot of changes in trunk.  Most if not all page attributes are now applied immediately
for the display of the page upon save.  For pages that contain Lua code, including
`show_content="show_content_as_lua_code"` in the `actions` field will ensure that the
code is validated whenever the page is displayed (even in preview) and any error
messages will be shown, with problem lines lighlighted.  CSS for diff has been fixed.
`sputnik_actions` and `wikifilestorage` now have LuaDoc comments.  (The luadoc pages
will be up shortly.)

## 2007.06.23 - Bug fixes in trunk, preview, internationalization

The version in trunk now has many bugs fixed and a few important features, including
preview, [[Internationalization]], and per-page RSS (yes, this means you can subscribe
to the RSS feed of edits to this page at
http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/sputnik/Timeline.rss).  The [[Color Schemes]] 
support has also been documented.

## 2007.06.16 - Version 0.2.0, redesign of trunk

Version 0.2 has a release candidate, which is now sitting in its own branch
(/branches/0.2.0).  Meanwhile, the version in trunk has had its CSS refactored, allowing
for easy modification of [[Color Schemes]], plus a bunch of smaller visual changes.

## 2007.05.16 - Another round of re-factoring

I did another round of refactoring, changing the APIs a bit to get rid of more code.
The refactored version is checked in as Revision 24.  This change makes some of the
documentation and examples slightly obsolete, but it will be fixed shortly.

## 2007.05.06 - The Sputnik Site is Up

The Sputnik Site is up at http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/sputnik/, self-hosted of
course.  I added a basic over ([[Sputnik]]), a description of the [[Conceptual Model]]
and a few [[Demos]].  There is also a list of [[Tasks]] if you want to get involved.
