The script hound Pete has just released a new and rather sparkly version of comment_rave: 0.5. So we’re halfway there! If you’re looking for a (free) lightweight way to let people add comments to… well… anything, just head over to R³ and check it out!

The theme system is much smoother now, and new themes can be installed and applied like a simple plugin. The version ships with a couple of my own feeble attempts. There’s a whole host of other new features, including anti-spam and a new backend. I look forward to seeing what comes next!
