I've upgraded my site to "Apache Roller Weblogger Version 5.1.0-SNAPSHOT (r1618351)" and the blogs hosted on my Roller instance look pretty good:
http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/ http://rollerweblogger.org http://photophys.com I ran into a bunch of problems with my themes, but I believe all problems were due to my schema, which had a bunch of pre-5.1 dev stuff present. I should have time to roll a first release candidate next weekend. - Dave On Sat, Aug 16, 2014 at 2:34 PM, Dave <snoopd...@gmail.com> wrote: > I had some success testing 500-to-510 upgrade script against > rollerweblogger.org and blogs.apache.org. > > With rollerweblgger.org, I had to use a custom version of the script > because the schema there is a mix of 5.0 and 5.1 stuff.
