Original Announcement

 

I know this was announced a couple weeks old, but I still wanted to mention it here for the sake of those that like the simple things in life.  CMS Made Simple 1.1 was released in mid-July.

The features/improvements in this released included:

• Efficiency
  • TinyMCE is now the Default Editor for new installs
• Security
  • Numerous changes to attempt to reduce the chance of xss attacks and SQL injections
• Upgrades
  • New versions of Smarty and adodb_lite
• Enhancements
  • Apply/Submit/Cancel buttons are now the standard for internal pages
  • A seperate syntax hilighter module can now be used for templates, stylesheets, and UDT’s.
  • Ajaxy code for the apply button when editing css, templates, etc. so that the scrollbar doesn’t move (this is a big plus).
  • News now supports multiple database templates and pagination

Version 2.x of CMS Made Simple is expected to be released sometime toward the Fall of 2007.

"WordPress 2.2.1 is now available. Most of the changes are minor bug fixes, however there are some security fixes as well. We can't stress enough how important it is to upgrade your sites and keep them current so that you aren't open to attacks. Many people see these "minor" version updates and assume that they don't need to install them. Mainly it seems to be folks who worry about an upgrade breaking their theme or their plugins. But if the themes and plugins are written properly, this won't normally be a problem. So, if you are running any version of WordPress older than 2.2.1, go download the new version now."
