The last significant version of MiaCMS was released this week. As I wrote several weeks ago, except for bug fixes and security updates, MiaCMS 4.9 will be the last version to be released by the developers. The MiaCMS core developers will now begin focusing all new development efforts on the Aliro platform.
I think the MiaCMS developers' attention toward the Aliro platform is a good strategic move. The developers likely recognized that the space for a content management system with Mambo roots was a little crowded. When I reviewed MiaCMS last year, I couldn't help but think it was going to be an uphill battle for MiaCMS.
So for the very last time, let's talk about the great changes the developers have made with MiaCMS. New features and improvements in MiaCMS include:
- PHP 5 is now required (PHP 4 users must stay on the 4.8 branch until they can upgrade to PHP 5)
- Accessibility cleanup added
- PHPMailer upgraded
- Updated the rich text editor to the latest TinyMCE core
- Added a new content bookmark component/module
- Added a new tag cloud module
Best wishes to the MiaCMS core developers. I and others look forward to their future work with Aliro.
