I'm not sure what "swapping" means in this context.  I think there's an 
auto-refresh option for templates configurable in roller-custom.properties.  I've never 
had a need to use or test it though.

I don't what you mean by "changed" or "swapped", did you manually go to the expanded WAR in Tomcat and change the files there? That indeed wouldn't be picked up unless you restarted Tomcat. But if you edited your pages within the template edit page of the UI they should have gone into effect immediately.

According to roller.properties, this is the property to use:

# Allow theme reloading during development
# 1. You must be logged in.
# 2. Delete the style-sheet (Design | Style Sheet tab) from the weblog/theme you're changing. # 3. To reload macros under path /WEB-INF/velocity, first modify the macro file and then trigger # the reload by changing a template on the theme currently working on, then refresh the page.
themes.reload.mode=false

But this may not have been used or tested in years, I have no idea if it still works.


-One of my blog suddenly started to lose its URL structure thus giving
me 404. Something like example.com/test/entry/blabla has become
example.com/test/test/entry/blabla. This was not fun at all, so I
rolled everything back to 5.04.

Perhaps you did not make "test" your default blog in 5.1, which would have removed the 
need for one of those "test"s in the URL. That said, such a setting should have stayed 
with the database migration.  5.04 will work (at least until the next security advisory of one of 
its
dependencies) but is architecturally a dead end.

5.0.1 -> 5.0.4 were all security patches. The Roller Blog announces the security fix when it is released.
