GeSHi 1.1.0 Released

10/10/2005
From the development branch, GeSHi version 1.1.0 has been released. This release marks the end of the 1.1.0 cycle, and work will shortly begin on 1.1.1, which will contain theming support, memory usage enhancements and much more.

If you're an inquisitive type, I encourage you to download it and try it out, to see how much better 1.2 will highlight code. Of course, at this stage 1.1.0 is no replacement for the stable branch (with most of the API unimplemented), but the highlighting is already many times better.

I have now finished university for the year, so from now on I plan to release development builds every week (on Mondays). In the 1.0.X branch I plan to make releases monthly (on or around the 22nd of the month), unless a security advisory appears.

Just in regards to the recent security advisory: I will warn people explicitly now that the contrib/ directory (and docs/) are unnecessary for a live website, and you should remove them. The example.php script is a script that I coded in 5 minutes to demo GeSHi, and not meant to be used on a live site. Nevertheless, I apologies to anyone who got caught out by this bug for not warning them before.

On a lighter note, a reminder about the geshi.org website: there is a roadmap available if you wish to find out what is coming for future releases (like 1.1.1), and a bug tracker for you to submit bugs about the 1.1.X releases should you find any. Bugs for 1.0.X should be reported to sourceforge or mailed to me directly, as usual.

Enjoy the release. The first alpha of 1.1.1 should be out next Monday.
