Ah. There is another annoying bug in profile.module which gives wrong data in /profile. Data in fields was not cleared so the data will show in next record if fields in the next record are empty. Below is the patch for this problem.

In recent post, I made a patch for configurable ping.module. Anyway, some ping servers don"t accept simple ping, instead they preferred extendedPing. For example, blo.gs.

According to patch of blogapi.module, the second problem is to save category properly. Since the taxonomy.module now support load operation in nodeapi hook, $node->taxonomy is not just a plain array of string anymore. Instead it is a standard class so taxonomy.module must handle the object correct.

You might notice that you are unable to delete url aliases in Drupal. I don"t know the exact version that this problem exists. Anyway, I have patched it right now.

In Drupal 4.7.0 beta 4, blogapi.module mostly works fine with Post2Blog unless 2 points. The first one occurs when trying to edit post. Categories will not return via XML-RPC. Below is my patch.

Since Drupal 4.7.0 beta 4 is available last night, I have just upgraded howforge.com to see the better version. There are many patches was applied to this release. I recommend all you to upgrade as soon as possible. Since I installed lots of modules and themes as well as hot patches during beta 3, the upgrade is not as easily as expect. The most critical problem is I didn"t want to interrupt user by making site off-line for so long. According to the upgrade guide, I have to remove all existing files and extract the new ones. This action is unacceptable for me. That means user might not see the proper message about off-line maintenance or upgrading. Below procedure is what I done today.
