Five years after the first public version, SPIP 1.9 is launched.

Among the many new features introduced since the last stable version (SPIP 1.8.3):

* The templates have been redesigned, and now follow the W3C standards and accessibility guidelines more closely.

* The syndication feed templates are now in RSS 2.0 format.

* Additional document formats are supported: SVG, Abiword, Blender, Video Flash, truetype fonts, as well as all open document formats.

* An important collection of new filters makes it possible to apply graphic treatments to the images (requires the GD2 library on the server).
