CMS Made Simple 1.6 Released

Believe it or not, I was really close to scratching CMS Made Simple out of my CMS Focus "Top 30" list. Nothing against CMS Made Simple but it's just been difficult to report a lot of newsworthy events. So wouldn't you know it, here comes along CMS Made Simple 1.6 to keep the CMS in focus here at CMS Report.

Some of the new features and enhancements brought into CMS Made Simple 1.6 include:

• Content Type Changes - Major effort has been undertaken to make the system faster, better and easier to extend.
• Permissions Changes - The developers completely re-worked the content permissions to allow more flexibility, and allow greater control over what users are allowed to do with respect to content.
• New Themes and Content - Two new front-end themes have been developed, and the default content for new installations changed considerably.
• Forgot Password functionality in admin - The admin console now has the ability to handle forgotten passwords, if an email address has been associated with the admin account.
• 404 error handling changes - A new content type ‘Error Handler’ has been created to handle 404 errors.
• Site Preferences rewrite
• Site down IP address exclusion - When sitedown mode is enabled, it is now possible to exclude certain IP addresses from that restriction.
• Improvements/Enhancements - Including MenuManager, TinyMCE, Search, and Printing
