- Simple multi-domain support
- Code base improvements
Now, let's talk about each area.
Media Blogging features
The main new feature in Roller 5.0 is "media blogging" which is what we call a set of features that are designed to make it easier for you to upload, manage and blog images, video files and audio files – media files. These new features were added by Tanuja Varkanthe and Ganesh Mathrubootham for a 2008/2009 computer science project project class at San Jose State Univ.

Open ID for user logins
With Roller 5 it is possible to allow uses to authenticate with OpenID credentials. You can setup your Roller system to allow only OpenID logins or to allow your users to login by username and password or via OpenID. Below is a screenshot that shows what the login page looks like when both username/password and OpenID logins are allowed:
This new feature was added by Tatyana Tokareva for a 2008 Google Summer of Gode project and was implemnented using Spring security's built in support for OpenID.

This is a small feature that makes it possible for a blog owner to edit the comments left by others on his or her blog for the purposes of cleaning up HTML, spelling errors or profanity in comments. Here's a quick screencast that illustrates how comment editing works:
