The Pebble 2.3 release is available to download from SourceForge and includes quite a few small new features and fixes, some of which I've written about before. Here's the full list.

• Added a "friendly" URL for the aboutAuthor action (/authors/username/).
• About author page now shows the author's profile and their recent blog entries.
• Added an RSS/Atom feed for individual authors (/authors/username/rss.xml|atom.xml).
• Added e-mail subscription functionality, where readers can subscribe to new blog entries via e-mail.
• Enhanced log summary reporting (e.g. statistics view showing a breakdown of the total requests and unique IPs for newsfeeds, page views and file downloads).
• Added log summary by country.
• Fixed date formatting problems with Atom feeds (they weren't being formatted in UTC).
• Normal themes can now be used for the multi-blog pages, with the theme being switchable via the Pebble Properties page.
• A static page can now be configured (via blog properties) to be the home page for a blog.
• Minor HTML cleanup and tweaks to theme.
• Added a GZIP compression filter to reduce page loading times.
• DWR scripts are now cached to reduce page loading times.
• Fixed a problem where JavaScript would be served up when logging in to a private blog.
• Fixed problems with unit tests failing in non-English locales (patches from Frédéric Chuong).
• Moved admin links from the sidebar to the top of the page.
• Separated out blog security configuration from the general blog properties.
• Pebble now uses the ServletContext for getting MIME type information when serving up files.
• Added a user preferences page and moved configuration of the rich text editor for blog entries/static pages (on/off) to be user specific.

If you have any feedback, please use the pebble-user mailing list. Have fun!
