The next release is looking great, althought it has taken longer then expected, (although I am almost finished now).
You can expect:-
- Trackback (when someone links to your article, they may send a trackback notification that allows News Articles to automatically add their link + commentary as a comment). Very useful for blogging
- Pingback, the same as a trackback, but uses a different technical implementation.
- When an article is approved, links in that article will be parsed and pingback/trackbacks sent to those sites (if they support these protocols)
- RSS 2.0 compliance
- Additional tokens for trackback/pingbacks in comments.
- A bug fix for notifying an author if the edit article screen is used. (currently the notification is not sent).
- Ping external services will notify external sites when an article is created or updated. You will be able to add a list of external sites to notify. I have not finished this feature yet.
Shortly after releasing these enhancements, I'll be working on category view permissions.
