• Broken class attribute in External Links fixed.

I have also updated the free Semiologic theme to 5.6.5 as well.

This will be the last 5.6.x release as Denis and I, are moving on to get SLP 5.7 ready for the upcoming WordPress 2.7 release.  (I know we said that last time.)

Fixes in this release include:

• Javascript error in the Google Analytics plugin in IE7 removed.
• MSN Subscribe-Me link fixed.
• Navbar css class was wrong.
• 301 errors when using a non-www site name and pc_robots.txt plugin are now fixed.
• Mediacaster broke rss feeds when also using rss2blog and caused feed not to validate.
• Fixed contact form error message display and handling if no data is entered and then form submitted.
• Improved sem-cache error message if cache file cannot be deleted/created.
• External Links plugin no longer causes blank screen on a couple of sites.
• Improved usability of Url navbar item entry.
• Bookmark Me widget no longer displayed in rss feeds.
• Updated mediaplayer used by Mediacaster to latest release.

I have also updated the free Semiologic theme to 5.6.4 as well.

This will be the last 5.6.x release as Denis and I, are moving on to get SLP 5.7 ready for the upcoming WordPress 2.7 release.

Items fixed in this release include:

• WordPress 2.6.3
• Askimet 2.2.1 plugin update
• Now Reading now working correctly again.
• Improved Contact Form spam
• Copyright notice now appears below footer nav bar

Also, I have disabled Post Revision functionality introduced in WordPress 2.6.  It turns out that this feature broke some of our functionality and plugins including Page/Post specific headers as the ID of the post revision is being passed instead of the original post itself.  In troubleshooting the Page/Post Headers I found other post-specific plugins also have ill-behavior.  Disabling the revision functionality restores WP post saving behavior to pre-2.6 functionality.  Denis and I will be tackling fixes for this in the next SLP release.
