What's new in this release

See the What's New in Roller 4.0 page for a user-oriented overview of what's new in Roller 4.0.

Important changes:

  • Roller now requires Java SE 5 and will no longer run on Java SE 1.4.2.
  • Roller themes must be upgraded before they will run on Roller 4.0
    • Themes must now include a theme.xml definition file
    • See Dave Johnson's How to create a Roller 4.0 theme posts (part1 and part2) for details.

Known problems

  • If you want to use Roller's Planet aggregator feature, then you'll need to create a _planet-custom.properties_ file to contain the Planet configuration properties. You must include the very same database configuration properties that you included in your _roller-custom.properties_ file.
