ocProducts are pleased to announce the full release of ocPortal Version 5, our highly advanced web content management system. This follows a short release candidate version. This version introduces a number of bug fixes, new features, usability improvements, and a wide-sweeping design overhaul since version 4.3.2.

There are a number of key changes and additions within this version of the software; The Admin zone has been given an overhaul including new drop down menus and a much more useful front page. Design change highlights include :

• A complete redesign of the Gallery system (we know this is going to make a lot of people very happy)

• The member profile screen has been completely redesigned

• A restructuring of the member points screen, making the points system far more intuitive.

• The quiz screen has been redesigned

• Just about every side block has been revised

• A brand new commenting interface

We have given an overhaul to commenting, RSS and ratings features. These include allowing guests to choose a display name and improving the previewing of reviews. ocPortal version 5 has been thoroughly tested with IE6 and should display properly on this browser. We do however expect to drop support for IE6 once IE9 is released.

It's been a long time coming, but we finally have news on our next version of ocPortal. 

We had planned to be releasing 4.4 but we've decided to head straight for version 5, and now we are within a few days of releasing it.

And what a version 5 we have for you!

Version 5 brings ocPortal right up alongside the most beautiful CMS packages out there, and drives straight past without stopping. We've reviewed everything, gone right back to the drawing board (Photoshop) in many cases, as well as injecting the latest display and interface technology.
