Syncato and Berkeley DB XML 2

After far too long, I've finally gotten around to updating Syncato to work with Berkeley DB XML 2. This was actually more work than I expected as the details of transactions have changed quite a bit and it's extremely easy to deadlock the thing if you don't have things perfect. It seems to be working pretty well now though.

So, for anyone wondering if Syncato is still being worked on, it is and there will be a new release at some point, hopefully soon. When it's released it will have support for the Microcontent Description (MCD) format I created for the Structured Blogging effort. That means you'll be able to drop MCD files from the Structured Blogging tools into Syncato to create custom post types. Of course, Syncato is entirely based around microcontent so the MCD stuff is a much more natural fit there then it is in the world of Wordpress and Movable Type.
