Compared to the first weeks' HUGE amount of output (site launch, Backup Pro 1.8, Backup Pro(ish) and Backup Pro Developer) last week appears to have been a wash. Unless you've been paying close attention tt just looks that way. Last week had a bunch of small but needed improvements to this site along with a bunch of prep work in terms of new add-ons. Plus, lots of support requests and the fucking lawyers stealing my joy (and charging me for the pleasure).

In terms of site updates, there have been some really nice improvements to the add-on documentation as well as add-on main pages. First, the documentation has been updated for all add-ons to improve the formatting and readability. This actually led to a new add-on to be released this week for syntax highlighting (more on this below) that's released under the GPL. There's also improved galleries for the individual add-on pages with a couple bug fixes people experienced in Safari (which is pretty much everyone who cares about ExpressionEngine it turns out).

This week I'm planning on releasing EE-Syntax (the syntax highlighter mentioned above) and an update to Securit:ee that includes a new field type for encrypting and decrypting data.

EE-Syntax is to be released as a GPL licensed add-on and is a pretty direct port of one of my most used WordPress plugins WP-Syntax (hence the GPL license). Still, it should help ease the pain of other WordPress developers making the transition to ExpressionEngine so I'm pretty excited about releasing it. In fact, a lot of work went in to ensuring the two work identically so any existing WordPress blogs that used WP-Syntax shouldn't need any updates; something that's always good IMHO.

This is gonna be a good week.
