CMS Made Simple

The CMSMS Dev team is happy to announce the release of a CMSMS 1.11.1 Baltra. This version fixes some important issues that have been detected since the release of CMSMS 1.11 Two and a half weeks ago.

The CMSMS Dev Team is delighted to announce the official release of our next major version, CMS Made Simple 1.11. There have been some significant and important changes. This release has undergone months of active, and careful development by the CMSMS Dev Team. Additionally, a very active six week public beta program resulting in more testing than in any other CMSMS release should ensure that this version is the stable, fast, powerful, feature rich and easy to use content management system that you have come to expect.

With the attendance of more than a thousand visitors the CMSday in Paris was an impressive and successful event. And CMS Made Simple™ was there, Thanks to the hard work of Kevin Danezis (@bestiolle), Jean-Christophe Ghio (@akajissey) Mathieu Muths (@Aire_Libre) Eric Pesser (@EkoSolutionsbe) and Jean-Christophe Cuvelier (@totophe) and many others in our french community (www.cmsmadesimple.fr).

As promised, in conjunction with the start of the CMSMS 1.11 Beta process we are releasing a new documentation website to explain the starts of how to work with CMS Made Simple.

The CMSMS Dev Team is delighted to announce the Beta release of our next major version CMS Made Simple 1.11. There have been some significant and important changes. We strongly advise that if you are a Module creator, your participation in the beta testing cycle will not only be of great benefit to us but an extremely useful exercise for you to get an immediate and comprehensive understanding of the improvements. Particularly developers of modules that export custom content types should participate in the beta process (to experience changes in the content class as noted below), so that you can ensure compatible releases of the module are available at the time when CMSMS 1.11 is released.

Hi everybody, it has been a while since we let you know about what we’re working on and what is happening with CMSMS 1.11, so we thought we would drop you a line. CMSMS 1.11 has been progressing steadily. It will be perhaps the biggest single functionality release in CMSMS history. We are also tackling some internals, and doing a lot of cleanup. There is new functionality, and some “under the hood” work. There should be a little bit for everybody in this release.

As you know our next GeekMoot will be in Northampton UK from March 8th to 10th. The Geekmoot preparations are well underway. The schedule is filling up fast, and the bookings are coming in!

Here's the latest and greatest news:

The CMSMS Dev team is proud to announce the release of CMSMS 1.10.3 - Hyacinthe. This is primarily a bug fix release on the 1.10 series, and fixes some important issues related to the wysiwyg editor and other minor inconveniences. We recommend that you upgrade your site(s) as soon as possible.

Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, and an early Happy New Year to all the dedicated CMSMS web professionals out there. The CMSMS dev team would like to take this time to thank you for your continued support of your favorite open source content management system. We thought that since it is almost the end of 2011 that we should take some time to review what has happened in the past year and outline some of the things that are coming up.

The CMSMS Dev team recently discussed some difficulties that appear from time to time with projects registered on the forge. Individually they are minor problems to the Dev team but can accumulate as we have seen in the past. Also, these problems may have major implications for our user community. To that end we as a group have come up with some rules for forge projects that are in effect as of now (the following will soon be inserted as rules to read when registering a new project in the forge). In the coming days we will also be sending an email out to all registered project administrators.

We need to raise some funds to allow some of the team members who volunteer thousands of hours to your favorite content management system to travel and participate in the GeekMoot 2012 and to meet you personally.

Hello CMSMS Professionals! We dont often reach out to professionals, because like us: you are often busy working on your next greatest project. Your coffee is often cold and you often work way too late (on weekends even) because of pressing deadlines, or interesting challenges. You are always molding your favorite content management system to do something different, or solving a problem that you know you would find difficult with other packages. Here is your opportunity to share some of the things you have learned, some of the techniques you have developed, and a few of your secrets with your colleagues, and to make yourself known.

CMSMS 1.10.2 is more of a ‘smoothing out the rough edges’ release. Only one of the issues we addressed could be called ‘critical’.. but some of them were rather annoying and caused confusion. As well, some were old issues that we finally addressed. So it was time to get them out of the way.

As usual, straight out of a major functionality release there are always some bugs spotted. And usually important ones. 1.10 has been no different, even with a longer than normal, and public beta process. This is an important bug fix release...
