This is the first release of the contributed plugins pack for PyBlosxom 1.3.

Here's a list of changes between contributed plugins pack 1.2.2 and 1.3:

General

• Added release dates to CHANGELOG.txt file.
• Fixed all logging to use the new functions in PyBlosxom 1.3.

comments

• Adjusted the behavior so that comments are shown if "showcomments=yes" is in the querystring or if the pyblosxom request is for a specific blog entry (as opposed to a category with only one blog entry in it). In doing this, I moved the code from cb_pathinfo to cb_prepare. (Thanks to Matt Weber for the idea!)
• Removed the "showcomments=yes" from the comment-form html code.
• Fixes to allow the comments plugin work with Python 2.2. (Thanks Nathan!)
• Adjusted the documentation text to make it clearer that the bit about what properties each entry needs to have applies only to developers. Added __description__ and __url__ information.
• Fixed issues with rendering. Also removed the "if this is rss, then don't do stuff".
• Fixed an issue where if the config.py file doesn't have blog_encoding set, the comments plugin would die.
• Fixed a security problem where the url and author fields were not getting sanitized. (Thanks Tung Wai Yip!)
• Unfixed the url not getting sanitized--we already remove html from it and sanitize unnecessarily adds an <a href...> </a> to it.
• Re-added the logging code that the comments plugin uses when things go sour.
• Added SMTP-sanitization to the email field. (Thanks David!)
• Changed the comment reject callback so that rejection plugins can return 0 (the comment is fine), 1 (the comment is rejected) or a tuple of 1 and the error message as a string.
  
  For example:
  
  • return 0
  • return 1
  • return (1, "This comment contains a blacklisted address.")
  (Thanks Steven!)
• Changed the format of the body of the email that the comments plugin sends the blog owner to be more informational and readable. (Thanks Alec!)

pycategories

• Fixed a cosmetic issue where an extra / was getting added to the root url
• Fixed a problem where the finish template was incorrectly pulling from the category_finish config property. (Thanks Rob!)
• Fixed a problem where the totals weren't being counted correctly. (Thanks Rob!)
• Added "_urlencoded" versions of the category variables. (Thanks Petteri!)

rst entryparser

• Added two configurable options to the rst entryparser. The first sets the starting level for rendered heading elements. The second enables and disables the promotion of a lone top-level section title to the document title. (Thanks Jan-Wijbrand!)
• Fixed the rst entryparser to handle metadata. (Thanks to spanezz!)

xmlrpc_metaweblog

• Fixed _getCategories so that it returns a list of dicts rather than a list of strings. This conforms to the metaWeblogApi (http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi) and fixes the getCategories request. (Thanks Rob!)
