Last week marked a new release of Roller Weblogger on blogs.sun.com. yay.

I wish there were some tactile new features to play with, but unfortunately this release mainly featured some maintenance work that users shouldn't really notice. The good news is that one of the other Roller developers, Anil, has put together a full package of new goodies to handle weblog pings. The ping stuff should be available as part of the full 1.2 release.

The one feature we did get packaged into this release is the new Sun Pacifico theme designed by Josef Pusedu. Sun bloggers can use the new theme by logging in and navigating to Website > Theme and selecting "sunpacifico" from the bottom of the list. If you want to see a sample check out Will's Head or Martin's blog.
