Reger.com Version 5.3 Released



Latest version is out. Does NOT include any of the XML stuff I've been working on. That's coming soon. I had some client and production things that took higher priority. Builds are great since I fixed the mySql login issue. Downtime for the sites is a short couple of minutes as opposed to the four or five minutes I was seeing before.

Big features here are the ability to share log types with friends, invite friends to log types, etc. The ability to share outside of reger.com with other toolmakers is coming soon.

Also, a tiny feature that I've needed to get to for a while is a system message capability that allows me to put a message on screen for all logged-in users. I'll use this when I need to shut down the site for a few minutes to do bug fixes. A few minutes prior I'll do a system message so that people know to save their entries. It's a littleBig feature.

Other than that a bunch of bug fixes and minor improvements.
