After deleting post, there should be a redirect to /blog

I sort-of agree. It is however how it has been done in the other modules like ticket and wiki. The "Not Found" page is kind of a confirmation that the delete succeeded. However, with recent Trac that can also save warnings and re-display after redirect, I think perhaps seeing a green box with "Blog post 'TestPost' deleted." to be just as useful - and will work fine for a straight /blog redirect.

Can't quite remember what Trac version the saving of warnings was added, but older Trac 0.11.x is not so high on my priority list anyway - it will work regardless. I'll fix it.

(In [6795]) FullBlogPlugin: Improving information and redirect logic when deleting blog comments, version of posts or whole posts. When a post is completely removed, it will redirect to blog front-page as requested by #6008.

Note: Actual display of the notices after redirect requires a fairly recent Trac 0.11.x as feature was added in the branch.

Closes #6008.

Thanks for adding this feature so quickly.

It looks like add_notice is the function that was added in 0.11.x. I was trying to determine if this was available as of 0.11.4 since that is the Trac version my hosting provider is currently running, and it looks like it was added in 0.11.0.

Does that sound correct to you?

Reference: wiki:/TracDev/ApiChanges/0.11#Newinthe0.11API

Both add_notice() and add_warning() was present in 0.11.0 - I worked on that feature myself.

However, the warnings were just stored in chrome data, so if you then redirected any warnings and notices were discarded (it is after all a completely new request, and not a response for the current request). With a recent trac, the redirect() call will gather any warnings and notices and store it in user session - and retrieve and display them again on the next request. That feature is fairly recent.

This sounds like ticket:8611, in which case the feature was added in 0.11.5. Does that sound right to you?

It also sounds like there is not a backwards compatibility issue, just that the nice message you have added depends on the feature in 0.11.5.

Sorry, I meant ticket:8166. Ironically, 8611 was reported by me.

That's the one. And yes, no side-effects other than the fact that messages won't appear - and seeing there were no visual feedback before my recent change, I doubt anyone on older versions will notice :-)
