The final feature I wanted to put into Pebble 1.6 was a way to view day and month summaries for all blogs within a multi-user (multi-blog) install. If you click through the links in the calendar of any Pebble blog, you'll be taken to a page showing the blog entries for the chosen day or month, in reverse chronological order. Most other blogging apps support this, although sometimes they are referred to as "archives" (although I'm not really sure why, to be honest).

Pebble has always provided aggregated newsfeeds for a multi-user install, but now you have the ability to view the data in a different way - you can view day and month summaries across all (public) blogs on a multi-user install. This follows on from the today page in that it provides a really useful way to view blog entries in a team environment.

Of course, this functionality is fairly useless without a way to navigate, and some changes have been made to the underlying object model to allow the calendar to work across all of the (public) blogs within a multi-blog install too. Providing there aren't anymore issues with JDK 1.4.2_06 and JDK 1.5, expect a final 1.6 release soon.
