Hi Tom.

That's quite an impressive list of new features and improvements. I have a few questions about dasBlog 1.9 that I hope you can answer:

1. Does it run on ASP.NET 1.1?
2. Does it upgrade seamless from version 1.8?
3. Does it include the macro "PostTitleRaw" for use with Digg, Del.ico.us etc.?
4. When does it ship?

Thanks in advance

Yes it runs on ASP.NET 1.1, it is still native 1.1, it will run under 2.0 with the standard minor web.config changes.

The upgrade is almost seemless. No changes needed for contents.

Yes the macro PostTileRaw is included!

You will need to move your settings for Site.config (i.e. you need to use the new Site.config, you will need to update it for your current configuration and the new available configurations)

If you have not messed with your web.config then no problems, if you have, you will need to add them also to the web.config and use the one provided with 1.9.

Ship is just any day now, as soon as the team decides that the beta is good, and no more changes are in the offing, I expect this week.
