v2.3.0

Feature Release

This release includes a few new features and a bunch of back-end code improvements. The former include updates to the post editor to support more configuration and make it easier to deal with uploading files, for instance by adding controls to insert attachment links and upload images attachments by pasting from the clipboard. The latter include major revamp of the support for RSS feeds. As a side-effect (?) of that work, we now support not only RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0, but also Atom feed generation! Those formats have also been made available for doing blog exports (in case you want to migrate to something other than WordPress). More details are in the official release post.

Upgrading

Compatibility note: In the interests of not being hideously insecure and out-of-date, the minimum supported PHP version for LnBlog is now 7.4, which is the oldest version that gets any updates at time of writing. Note that this is a hard requirement - LnBlog will no longer work o older versions of PHP.

Upgrading from the supplied release ZIP file is recommended. If you choose to just pull changes from Git, note that you will need to run a composer install --no-dev to update dependencies.

Note that the existing RSS plugins have been replaced by the new RssManagement plugin. You will probably need to configure that plugin to match your desired configuration. Note that the new plugin includes functionality to manually force purging and regenerating RSS feeds, which can be used to migrate your feeds to Atom if desired.
