Patching FAQ

I originally used SnipSnap as the web server for this site, and I loved it. However, nothing’s perfect, even SnipSnap.

SnipSnap 0.5.1a introduced a bug that showed all blog posts as “1” in the recent-changes macro. This was quickly fixed, but only for the default “vertical” style. The bug remained in all other list styles.

I’ve written a small patch that fixes the remaining list styles. To use it with an existing SnipSnap installation, download the SnipSnap 1.0b1 source, apply the patch, build SnipSnap with Ant, then copy the newly rebuilt snipsnap-servlet.jar into your SnipSnap application’s WEB-INF/lib/ subdirectory, over the existing jar. Restart SnipSnap and you should be good to go!
