I am happy to announce the initial and 1.0.0 of the serendipity command line update script.
It is designed to do the boring work of updating against the latest release. The workflow is dead simple.
fetch latest version
check if latest version is installed
make a backup of the existing installation
update
Enjoy using it. If you find an error, feel free to open an issue or a pull request.
Happy new Year! Serendipity 2.0.3 has just been released to address a XSS security issue found and reported by Onur Yilmaz and Robert Abela from Netsparker.com. Thanks a lot for contacting us and working with us to address the issue.

And what I totally missed to write, the new serendipity 2.x admin interface is incredible cool. First I thought "ok" but after a few entries, it is amazing. It is fast and a lot of "small" things like long mouse movements are perfectly optimized. Thousand thanks from my side.
After seeing syntax highlighting by a friend, i decided to update my serendipity also. After a little bit of trying, i am now using "Prettify for S9Y (serendipity_event_prettify)".
How to use it?
Quite simple, install it and use "<pre class="prettyprint lang-foo">your code</pre>" to cover your codeblock.
The following languages are supported right now:
By the way, you also get a fancy button on the "create entry page" for free. Just mark a text and click the button and magic javascript is encoding your html entities for you.
