The latest version of Mephisto, the blog that powers Riding Rails, has been released. Justin Palmer has the nitty gritty details at the Mephisto Blog. Our focus for this release has been the simple Asset Manager, as shown in the screenshot. I feel it’s pretty solid for a blog, so future releases will focus on broadening the horizons with some more CMS capabilities.

Even if you’re not looking for a publishing tool now, there’s a wealth of good, unit tested code in the subversion repository.
