The team is proud to announce the release of BlogEngine version 1.6. With several new features and numerous
improvements and bug fixes, this is a must upgrade version for current BlogEngine users and those interested in
entering the blog scene.
For those who receive a steady dose of comment spam (and who doesn't!), a new
powerful Comment Management and Comment Spam Filtering infrastruture has been added in version 1.6. Comments
across all posts can be viewed, edited, deleted
or approved in one convenient area. Comments can still be manually moderated, but now moderation can be
automated by running comments thru remote or local comment spam validation services. Anyone can easily build new
comment spam filters
and plug them into BlogEngine. It's just as simple as adding custom Extensions and Widgets is.
The other notable feature in version 1.6 is support for multiple widget zones. You can now place widgets anywhere on your site, and even move widgets from one zone to another.
A complete list of new features can be found here.
