In this release many bugs were fixed, some severe ones that would prevent you from creating new posts, and some less important ones. In general, these bug fixes will make Chameleon more stable, so it's recommended you upgrade to this version. I'd also like to thank everyone who reported bugs.

Additionally, this release also ships with a few new features. Along the same line, this release adds unit tests for most of the Chameleon code, which made it possible to find a few bugs, and will make it easier to solve issues in the future. We upgraded to Rails 1.2, which is more stable than Rails 1.1, and includes some new features that should also ease development in the future. Finally, James also added a live preview and an auto-save function to the write page, which should make working with Chameleon easier.

Version 0.6.1.1 is a bugfix release. This small release fixes only one bug, but a severe one. In Chameleon 0.5.5, 0.6.0 and 0.6.1, it was possible for a malicious user to obtain data from the database by loading a specially crafted URL. On some databases, particularly on Microsoft SQL Server, it is possible a user even might be able to edit and delete data. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade as soon as possible.

To upgrade, simply copy the new files over the old ones. Only the file app/controllers/blog_controller.rb changed, so replacing that one is enough.

One major new feature has been added: a new default theme. I found the previous theme to be unsatisfying, while its code was very clear and it was a good theme to base other themes on, it wasn't beautiful enough to be the default theme. The HTML code of the new theme, conveniently dubbed "Simple theme v2.0", is largely based on that of "Simple theme", the previous default theme, however, the CSS has been completely reworked to give the theme a beautiful look. This theme aims to give a good first impression, show how Chameleon is different in its design, and be a good starting point for new themes, all at the same time.

Furthermore, there have been some bug fixes since version 0.6.0. Accordingly, for example, the navigation bar has been reworked to work correctly on a wide range of web browsers, and the defunct Featured Posts plugin has been removed.

Themes can be written using Liquid, a Ruby library and Rails plugin focused on delivering simple and secure templating. Creating a new theme is easy, installing an existing theme is even easier.
Chameleon 0.6.0 includes a simple default theme showcasing the features of Chameleon, and a port of the famous Simpla and Scribbish themes.
