Serendipity 2.3.1 released

The first bugfix release for our new stable branch is out: Serendipity 2.3.1, fixing some bugs that crept into the 2.3.0 release as well as some older faults.

Mass delete for the media library is working again, as well as the pagination feature of templates like Timeline that couldn't cope with the "stable archives" sorting order, and the plugin lists in the backend got links to their Spartacus entries (if they are installed from Spartacus, that is).

Please see the release statement on GitHub for more details.

You can download the release file and unzip it to your installation as usual, or update from within Serendipity using the Serendipity Autoupdate Plugin (serendipity_event_autoupdate).

Serendipity 2.3.0 released

We are very happy to present Serendipity 2.3.0, our new stable version, after more than two years of work.

  • ... uses voku/simple-cache for its internal cache!
  • ... has a new maintenance mode option!
  • ... will now receive multiple trackbacks and pingbacks!
  • ... has improved plugins, e.g. the nl2br plugin!

Please see the release statement on GitHub for more details.

You can download the release file and unzip it to your installation as usual, or update from within Serendipity using the Serendipity Autoupdate Plugin (serendipity_event_autoupdate).

Serendipity 2.3.x will be our new stable branch; development will continue on Serendipity 2.4.

Many thanks to all our contributers, theme and plugin developers, all you bug reporters and testers and forum users! Without your help this would not have been possible.

We are happy to hear your feedback about our new release - as always - on our forums!

Serendipity 2.3 - First Release Candidate published!

We are happy to announce the availability of the first (and hopefully last) Release Candidate for Serendipity 2.3.

Please test it, if you can, especially on current PHP installations (PHP 7.2 up to PHP 7.4), and report all errors and (PHP) warnings. We feel comfortable with suggesting you to try out this release in a production environment, as long as you make a backup of your database and files first, as you should always do.
