Lanius CMS v0.5.2 released
Lanius CMS v0.5.2 has been released; this is a major stabilization and feature upgrade of v0.5.1.
You are invited to migrate your previous Drake CMS and Lanius CMS installations to Lanius CMS v0.5.2.
This software product is considered stable and we encourage its usage in production websites.
Plans for Lanius CMS v0.6.0
The Lanius CMS Team is planning major changes for the next release; amongst all, a core release will be split from the current fullpack release. This will allow more packages and more software diversity on Lanius CMS.
Lanius CMS v0.5.2 is like its predecessors, a fully-featured release with limited install/uninstall features. The next release will have a clearer versioning number and full support for 3rd party development. Hold on!
Major differences
- new implementation of CAPTCHA (pluggable)
- anonymous comments through CAPTCHA
- password Quality Indicator now works with Firefox v3.x, Internet Explorer 7.x, Safari v3.2.x and Google Chrome v2.x
- SQL debugging option (to spot bottlenecks and similar)
- documentation integration for admin backend pages
- fixed issues with FCKEditor, which has also been upgraded
- many XHTML validation fixes in both frontend and backend
- major bug fixes and general improvements
