Well, almost a full day has passed since I put out AZIndex 0.7.5 and no reports of any problems, so far, touch (knock on) wood. I won’t be putting out another version for a week or so, but I thought I would tease you with a bit of information I know that plenty of people have been asking for (though whether they will even see this post is debatable, of course ).
Probably the number one feature request for AZIndex has been support for sorting by tags and categories. Well, after months of saying, “Bah Humbug!” and “Not Possible!” to everyone, I decided to take another look. The problem was allowing one post to be listed more than one time (under different tags/categories). My indexing code was not written for that possibility, and I thought it would take a major rewrite to support multiple entries. Well, turns out that is wasn’t as difficult as I thought I would be (though the caching code was still a little hairy to get right), and I now have working examples of indexes sorted by tags and categories.
So, watch this space…
Oh, and talking about “this space,” I am also about to give AZIndex its own web site. The plugin has somewhat taken over my personal blog, and I also wanted a better way to show off what AZIndex can do, as well as provide better documentation and discussion area. I will begin moving things over in a few days and will then make a formal announcement, but the site is already up and running, so there is a prize of one free copy of AZIndex ( ) to the first person who provides the correct link in the comments.
sorry i am using azindex 0.6.2
