r5 is live & the comments feed

Hi everyone, sorry for the long delay in posting. I've made a promise to myself to try and post at least 1 entry per week. We'll see how I do. ;-)

As Joe, Susan, and John have mentioned already release 5 is live. A big congratualations to the development and qa teams for working so hard to get this release out the door on time. This is our 3rd release in our new "Agile" development process. For those counting, we've released new features 3 times in little over 4 months. That's huge by AOL standards, but I think we'll see teams pick up on this kind of process in the near future.

FYI - We've also fixed the Canada locale as a few minutes ago.

As for r5, I really like the public list page and I hope you all do too.  I also would like to mention another little addition that was over looked. We've added a comment feed for entries. For instance:

When looking at the source of Joe's last posting, http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke/entries/1283

You will see the link tag for the comment feed
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Comments feed" href="http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke/entries/1283/atom.xml">


If you're using Firefox you can see the option to subscribe to the "comments feed". You can use an feed reader, like MyAOL, to read the feeds by adding the permalink, http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke/entries/1283,  to the entry.

We're working on an update to the "subscribe" window so that the comment feed is available in there as well.
