* LiveJournal is testing a new version of the Maps page, which is a way to see entries from across LiveJournal on a map.
* This is being done in partnership with Beeline, a Russian telecom firm.
* This looks to be an entirely manual process, without using any of the location metadata you can add to an entry. The system does use the location metadata in your entries, but not to automatically add those entries to the map.
* You can add your own entries about a place to the map, or those you find anywhere on LiveJournal, and after a review they will be added to the map. The review process indicates that non-public entries can't be added to the map.

* Beta release 105
* The new username pingbacks introduced in the last release have been expanded to include communities. A community owner can enable pingbacks for their community and the owner and all maintainers ("community owner and his rangers" according to Google) will receive a notification anytime someone links to that community with the comm link or to a specific entry in that community. Only owners can turn off pingbacks, but maintainers can unsubscribe themselves.
* A user you've banned from your journal will no longer create a pingback if they link to you or one of your entries.
* Owners and moderators (maintainers?) can now post entries for custom member groups in their community. They can also create entries that are specifically for the owner/maintainers. (Can someone who reads Russian tell me if this means owner/maintainers, owner/moderators, or both? Thanks!) Both ideas came from the suggestions community: http://suggestions.livejournal.com/1059527.html and http://suggestions.livejournal.com/1085544.html
* Cyrilic-services users with in-journal promo-blocks can no longer specify a minimum price over 10,000 tokens.
As always, anyone can participate in beta testing following these instructions.
