I'm pleased to announce the release of Pebble 1.6, which is available to download from here. A summary of the major new features is as follows.

• Access logs written in the standard combined log file format.
• Permalinkable today page.
• Day and month view with calendar navigation across all blogs in a multi-user install.
• Blog entry decorators (a plugin API).
• Enhanced look and feel, with a reduction in the number of JavaScript popups used.
• Compatibility with JDK 1.4.2_06 and JDK 1.5.
• Early version of Pebble deskblog.
• Early version of Pebble moblog.

In addition to these are many other little fixes and enhancements across the entire application, details of which can be found in the changelog. If you're upgrading from an earlier version, you'll need to visit the Blog properties page to modify your comma separated list of pingable websites to be whitespace separated. As with other major releases, there have been some changes to the JSPs used to implement the themes. My advice is to start over with one of the supplied themes and customize them. However, I will write an entry on migrating themes from Pebble 1.5 to the new version.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send an e-mail to the pebble-users mailing list. Enjoy!
