The first thing I noticed (a minor issue at best) is
jdbc2_0-stdext.jar is included in the support JARs on java.net. Isn't
this only needed for JDK 1.3?

I tested this release (from scratch) on Tomcat 6.0.13 on OS X with JDK 5.

Issues:

* It seems strange that the "handle" field gets the focus when
creating a new blog. Shouldn't it be the first field?

* This release has a lot of themes in its "themes" directory. Is this
"as designed"? I thought we cleaned out a lot of them?

I used the andreas08 theme and was successfully able to create a new
entry, add a comment, etc.

The andreas08 theme looks far from polished, but that's more my fault
than it is Roller's so I wouldn't say it's an issue.

Next I tried upgrading my existing site on raibledesigns.com (local
upgrade). I think the current version is 3.1 RC3. No, it's not a final
release.

I did this by populating my (MySQL) database with a dump from my site.
I didn't run the 300-to-310 upgrade script since it's likely I'm
already upgraded.

Starting Roller results in....

INFO: Server startup in 8255 ms

No CSS, a bunch of Velocity syntax at top of blog. Need to add
roller-custom.properties to $CATALINA_HOME/lib, turn on password
encryption, support for legacy models, etc.

Restart....

CSS now looks good, there's a few issues though:

1. # for comments still generates an invalid anchor. Looks like
comment anchors work on Dave's site though, so maybe it's a bug on my
system?

2. My "All" category link is collapsed and blue (instead of green).
Sounds like I need to customize some templates. I've had to do this
with past releases, so I don't think it's a bug.

Starting Parallels/Windows for Beyond Compare, hoping that it doesn't
lock up my MBP again.

Modified templates, all looks good now. However, search doesn't seem to work.

3. When I enter a search term in the search box, it just hangs and
somewhat causes Firefox to lock up - but not really since I'm writing
this message in another tab. Maybe this is because I have so much
content and Lucene is busy indexing it?

Heh, it actually finished while I was typing this, so I guess no issue there.

As far as I can tell, my only issue is with the following macro:

#macro(showWeblogEntryComments $entry)

Looking at your blog (Dave), I see the following in your comments:

<a name="comment-1189420108000" id="comment-1189420108000"></a>
            <div class="comment odd" id="comment1">

In mine, the <a name> is missing:

<div class="comment odd" id="comment1">

Where is <a name> supposed to be coming from?  It doesn't appear to be
in WEB-INF/velocity/weblog.vm:

    #foreach( $comment in $comments )
        #if($comment.approved || $model.commentForm.preview)
            #if($config.commentEscapeHtml)
                #set($content = $utils.escapeHTML($comment.content))
            #else
                #set($content =
$utils.transformToHTMLSubset($utils.escapeHTML($comment.content)))
            #end
            #if($config.commentAutoFormat)
                #set($content = $utils.autoformat($content))
            #end
            #set($content = $utils.addNofollow($content))

            <div class="comment#if($velocityCount % 2 == 0) even#else
odd#end" id="comment${velocityCount}">

Thanks,

Matt
