Changelog



v1.0

Actually, this one was for private use only :)

v1.1

  • The first public release of ZompLog?
  • Added the CONFIG.PHP file. Now all necessary information to run the script is in one place.
  • Added a notification when a post is succesfully submitted to the database.
  • Added version-info to the files.

v1.2

  • Added date-display (very necessary!!)
  • Added variable for date-display in CONFIG.PHP (m.d.Y or d.m.Y), so it's easy to localize the date-format
  • Added archive (ARCHIVE.PHP), and a variable for the number of posts to appear on the mainpage

v2.0

  • A complete rework of version 1.2!
  • Added members-area with password authentication because so many people who used version 1.2 requested this feature. Here you go! The authentication-system is an adaptation of SimpleAuth 1.2 by Jez Hancock, which saved me a lot of trouble :)
