RSS- Bricolage 1.8.3 Released
https://justatheory.com/2004/11/bricolage-1.8.3
The Bricolage development team is pleased to announce the release of Bricolage 1.8.3. This maintenance release addresses a number of issues in Bricolage 1.8.2. The most important changes eliminate or greatly reduce the number of deadlocks caused during bulk publishes of many documents. Other changes include new contributed scripts for importing contributors and for generating thumbnail images, Russian localization, and various fixes for database transaction, template formatting, and various user interface fixes. Here are the other highlights of this release:

- Bricolage Tasks, Jobs, Actions, and Alerts

I’ve been working on the design for what are called distribution jobs and alerts in Bricolage 1.x. There were some good ideas there. Distribution jobs enable users to set up a list of tasks to execute against the files being distributed, such as validating them against a DTD or distributing them via email. It also allowed developers to create fairly simple plugin modules that could be added as new jobs. Alerts are great ways of letting users know that some even has happened, and their rules-based evaluation of event attributes is a powerful way of configuring alerts to be sent only for certain events logged for certain objects.

- Moving Towards Bricolage 2.0

Today I’ve finished just about over two and a half weeks of hacking on Bricolage. It has been a couple of years since I gave it much attention, but there was so much good stuff that other people have contributed that, since I had a little time, it seemed worth it to give it some love. So here’s a quick list of all that I’ve done in the last two weeks:
- Always use the C Locale with PostgreSQL

- Bricolage Now has PHP 5 Templating

- Migrating Bricolage CVS and SVN to Git

Now that I’ve successfully migrated the old Bricolage SourceForge CVS repository to Git, and also migrated Subversion to Git, it’s time to stitch the two repositories together into one with all history intact. I’m glad to say that figuring out how to do so took substantially less time than the first two steps, thanks in large part to the great help from “doener,” “Ilari,” and “Fissure” on the Freenode #git channel.

- My Adventures with Mac OS X
https://justatheory.com/2002/11/my-osx-adventures
I recently decided to make the leap from Yellow Dog Linux to Mac OS X on my Titanium PowerBook. Getting everything to work the way I wanted proved to be a challenge, but well worth it. This document outlines all that I learned, so that neither you nor I will have to experience such pain again. The overall goal was to get Bricolage up and running, figuring that if it worked, then just about any mod_perl based solution would run. I’m happy to say that I was ultimately successful. You can be, too.
- Bricolage 1.8.2 Released
https://justatheory.com/2004/09/bricolage-1.8.2
The Bricolage development team is pleased to announce the release of Bricolage 1.8.2. This maintenance release addresses quite a large number of issues in Bricolage 1.8.1. The most important changes were to enhance Unicode support in Bricolage. Bricolage now internally handles all text content as UTF-8 strings, thus enabling templates to better control the manipulation of multibyte characters. Other changes include better performance for searches using the ANY() operators and more intelligent transaction handling for distribution jobs. Here are the other highlights of this release:
- Lessons Learned with Perl and UTF-8

- Migrating Bricolage CVS to Git
https://justatheory.com/2009/04/bricolage-cvs-to-git
Following a discussion on the Bricolage developers mail list, I started down the path last week of migrating the Bricolage Subversion repository to Git. This turned out to be much more work than I expected, but to the benefit of the project, I think. Since I had a lot of questions about how to do certain things and how Git thinks about certain things, I wanted to record what I worked out here over the course of a few entries. Maybe it will help you manage your migration to Git.
