| 5 | This is Zine 0.2 the second release of Zine. |
|---|
| 6 | It already provides quite a few features: |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | - of course, basic blog functionality: posting, comments, categories, |
|---|
| 9 | tags, and ATOM feeds |
|---|
| 10 | - user, group and permission management |
|---|
| 11 | - theming support |
|---|
| 12 | - importers for WordPress and Atom feeds. |
|---|
| 13 | - an advanced plugin system |
|---|
| 14 | - a translatable interface (although with this first release, only |
|---|
| 15 | English and German translations are available) |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | But some things are still missing. The following things (and more) will |
|---|
| 18 | be included in Zine 0.2 (tentatively set to be released in April, 2009): |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | - search functionality |
|---|
| 21 | - file upload system |
|---|
| 22 | - notifications about new posts, comments, etc |
|---|
| 23 | - more translations |
|---|
| 24 | - documentation for (plugin) developers (for now, there's a documented |
|---|
| 25 | example plugin called "Eric The Fish" included in Zine's source. If |
|---|
| 26 | you want to develop plugins, that's the starting point.) |

|---|
| 55 | If you encounter bugs or if you want to suggest a new feature be sure to |
