The in-memory blog cache was removed entirely. blojsom does not cache any of the blog entries
in memory anymore. It was the cause of much frustration trying to keep the in-memory cache
synchronized with the filesystem. It was certainly a "feature" that was contrary to the original
zen and philosophy of blosxom

<action dev="czarneckid" type="remove" context="Core">
<i>blog-reload-check</i> was removed from

blojsom configuration parameters were moved from

All of the blog-related functionality (e.g. building the blog entry map, looking up blog entries for a category, etc...) has been refactored into the Blog class. BlojsomServlet is now only concerned with processing requests for the blog

Calendar-based navigation is now supported in blojsom. This means that users can add "year=YYYY", "month="MM", and "day=DD" parameters when requesting entries per blog category to see entries that fall under a particular date range. The year must be provided, but a user can narrow down the list of entries by providing a month and a day
