CMS Made Simple 1.1rc2 Released!


Posted: May 22, 2010 by Ted Kulp

UPDATE: rc2 was released because of stupidity on my part. Menu Manager and Search would not install properly with rc1, and was fixed. Thanks!!! Hey all, New release candidate is up. The plan is to have this up roughly a week. If no major bugs are found, then we'll release it as a full version. If any minor bugs come in, we'll fix and continue with the schedule. We're not planning another rc unless multiple major bugs show up, which we're hoping doesn't happen. Please test away and report any bugs in the tracker or irc channel. The changelog follows below... Thanks! Ted
