Pebble 1.7 Is Here

I have upgraded my weblog software from Pebble 1.4 to 1.7. I tried to keep as much of my old theme as possible. But there are some visible changes:

  • RSS, RDF, and Atom feeds are available now.
  • The comments and trackbacks popup windows are gone.
  • Comments are threaded now.

The hosting environment has changed. It is now running on my Fedora Core 3 box under JDK 1.5 and Tomcat 5.0.30 that I obtained from JPackage.org.

I would like to thank Simon Brown for his continued effort to improve the Pebble software. I would like to also thank the JPackage people for making it easy to setup a Tomcat environment on Fedora Core 3.

Let me know if you encounter any difficulties reading the weblog.

Layout Problem

Weiqi, the first time I visited this web page, the layout was completely hosed. All of your "Blogs I Read" were to the left, and the right 85% of the screen was blank. I had to scroll way down to see the content. Resizing did not help. Then I reloaded the page, and the problem went away. I'm using Firefox 1.0.1 on Windows XP. Didn't Pebble move away from HTML tables for layout in this release? I think the CSS div layout approach gets messed up sometimes.

Re: Layout Problem

I cannot duplicate this problem. I've been restarting Firefox, clearing my cache, reloading...

I did, however, notice one other issue. Again, I cannot reproduce it. But one time I loaded this page the title was a bit lower than usual. I hit Reload, then the title shifted back up to its normal position. This quirky layout seems similar to the first problem I reported, though not nearly as severe.

Re: Layout Problem

I had the same problem the first time I visited the page. A refresh seems to have fixed it.

Re: Layout Problem

Worked first time for me, weird. On a side note, did you see 1.7.1 was released yesterday? Oh the timing :)

Re: Layout Problem

I also had this problem with Firefox 1.0.1 on WinXP SP2 through a proxy server. Clicking "Reload" didn't fix it. Forcing a reload did.

Re: Pebble 1.7 Is Here

I also had the same problem with Firefox 1.0.1 on Linux and Windows and Mozilla 1.7 on Windows. I don't have the problem with IE 6.0.

The problem is consistent with Firefox or Mozilla using a cached version of the CSS stylesheet. A forced reload will get the new stylesheet, which has the same URL as the old one.

I have taken a screenshot of what I see in Mozilla. Is this what you see?

Re: Pebble 1.7 Is Here

That certainly looks like a stylesheet being cached. :-)
