I have released a new version of the Borg CMS that powers this blog (and is free for anyone to use for their own sites). Among the major new features: improved readability for the theme you are currently looking at, improved rendering support for tablets (including the Xoom) and smartphones, new support for draft pages and license notices and more bugfixes. Also, borg is now 100% hosted on github. You can find it here.

The full list of changes follows:

• codebase updated to support ruby 1.9.2 , rails 3.0.7
• improved readability: switched to Open Sans font, 1.5 line height
• New feature: pages and articles can be marked as draft until they’re ready for release.
• New feature: support for the humans.txt ‘standard’
• Improved rendering for smartphones (image scaling fixes) and tablets.
• New feature: added an option to disable the sidebar on article pages.
• New feature: it is now possible to specify a content license (that will be displayed in the site footer)
• Various bugfixes in themes, social sharing buttons, live preview features and other areas.

Moving to Github

I finally moved the entire borg codebase from the old assembla.com SVN repository to github. The project is here. Start forking!
