Roller updated to 3.1 RC3

Since we are updating the Roller platform, might as well get the latest and greatest, which thus far is Roller 3.1 RC3.

The front page finally works, after a tweak to add the SiteModel to roller-custom.properties. Dave said we shouldn't have to do that, but apparently we still do :

# Set of models to be made available for weblog page rendering
rendering.pageModels=\
org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.model.PageModel,\
org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.model.ConfigModel,\
org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.model.UtilitiesModel,\
org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.model.URLModel,\
org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.model.MessageModel,\
org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.model.CalendarModel,\
org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.model.MenuModel,\
org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.model.SiteModel

Under Roller 3.0 previously, the front page didn't work even with this tweak. Well, you know what they say about "dot zero" versions ... :)

The calendar is still off by one day, despite a fix that should have been in by 3.1 RC2. Will have to look at this one later.

Other than that, there are just some minor cosmetic glitches in the blog templates.
