Lanius CMS v0.5.0 released

Lanius CMS v0.5.0 released

The first version of Lanius CMS has been released.

You are invited to migrate your previous Drake CMS installations to Lanius CMS v0.5.0.

This software product is probably the most Stable of the Drake CMS / Lanius CMS development cycle; we aim to reach even more stability with the next version 0.5.1 but you can already use version 0.5.0 in production websites as we encourage this type of usage now.

Lanius CMS v0.5.0 is no more marked as "Beta" software; we are not yet marking it as "Stable" because we want some user feedback from this version before proceeding with our development.

Thank you for all your feedback and support!

Backward compatibility

Lanius CMS v0.5.0 fully supports Drake CMS v0.4.11 and its predecessors, up to Limbo CMS (only database backups supported). If you have a database backup created with Drake CMS or Limbo CMS you can easily import it by placing it in the /private/backup directory and then restoring it using the System -> Database -> Backups page.

Known issues

There are some known issues in Lanius CMS v0.5.0 r363:

• documentation is broken/incomplete, we are working on this;
• it is not possible to correctly install software addons in some cases; packages with '.svn' directories will fail to delete temporary directory;
• bug 220 when entering Global Configuration (Windows OS or stat() disabled);
• no mailer is enabled by default, you should enable one in the Drabots Manager admin backend interface (PHP mailer should be the default one)
• download component is broken due to bug 275 (hotfix instructions available in the issue tracker)
• bug 281, new users created in admin backend cannot be anything else than Registered users
