These are just a few highlights. The 0.4 release contains almost 100 minor bug fixes, including numerous fixes to styling, the markdown editor, admin interface behaviour, security, rss feeds and the Casper theme.
Ghost has also been refactored significantly, meaning the codebase is considerably improved. Some key areas of refactor work occurred around config loading and management, storage and retrieval of paths and URLs, the removal of the ghost.js file, cleanup work around the API and a complete re-write of the database migrations system.
Finally, there has also been significant advances in the test suite, including running tests against sqlite, mysql and pg, improvements to unit, functional and integration tests and the ability to generate a coverage report. This improved test suite makes it easier for us to move faster and deliver more features with confidence in the future.
A few of our new features are worthy of further explanation.
You can now toggle any post to be a "page" from within your post settings menu on the editor or content screen. This will remove it from your post feed. About / Contact / Terms galore!
We'll now give you a heads up when you're about to lose unsaved changes. So you can, you know, save.
Clicking the star on the content screen will mark a post as featured. Featured posts get an extra class so they can be styled differently.
Always know when Ghost is doing something, a little blue bar crawls across the screen to let you know!
You can now slap /edit/ on the end of any post URL and, boom, you're editing it.
Available from the general settings menu, you can now get Ghost to output URLs in the format: /:year/:month/:day/:slug/ rather than just /:slug/.
You can now configure your URL in config.js to contain a subdirectory, such as http://my-ghost-blog.com/blog/.
