Cotonti'yi seçmeniz için nedenler...
Linkedin, Yahoo vb. sitelerin veritabanına sızınlığını duymuşsunuzdur. Siz de bu durumda endişelenip kendi veritabanınız çalınırsa kullanıcılarınıza ne olacak diye düşünebilirsiniz İyi haber şu ki biz şifreleri olduğu gibi değil de MD5 ile şifreleyerek saklıyoruz.Kötü habere gelirsek MD5 artık kolayca bruteforce ile çözülebiliniyor.
Bu yüzden yaptığımız geliştirmelerle artık şifreler ön tanımlı rastgele bir anahtar üzerinden SHA256 şifrelemesi yapılıyor, farklı hash seçenekleriyle birlike plugin geliştiricilerine de kendi özel şifreleme methodlarını ekleme imkanı sunuyor. Siena ve Genoa kullanıcılarına güncelleme yapmalarını tavsiye ediyoruz. Güncellemeden sonra şifreler halen MD5 kalacak ancak şifreyi değiştirdikleri anda yeni şifreleme methoduna geçiş yapacaklar.
Genoa update 0.6.24 fazladan bir güvenlik yaması daha içeriyor, eğer yabancıların admin panelinize girmesine izin veriyorsanız bu güncellemeyi yapmanızı tavsiye ediyoruz.
Siena update 0.9.11 ise bir çok hatayı gideriyor ve çeşitli konularda iyileştirme içeriyor "Yaz saati uygulaması" vb geliştirmelerde bulunuldu.Detaylar için Sürüm Notlarını okuyun.
Cotonti Siena 0.9.10 sürümü yayınlandı ve gurur duyarak bildiriyoruz ki bu sürüme artık "beta" diyebiliriz çünkü 1.0 sürümünde ulaşmak istediğimiz şeylere gerçekten çok yaklaştık.İşte yapılan değişikliklerin bir listesi:

On May 26th, 2011, the European Union accepted a new legislative directive regarding the use of web cookies. Also known as the Cookie Law, it applies to how you use cookies and similar technologies for storing information on a user’s equipment such as their computer or mobile device. It means that you have to get your visitors informed consent before placing a cookie on their machine. The law officially came into effect on May 26th, 2012, but since each EU member state has to implement its own version of the law, enforcement of the law may be delayed.
The law applies to cookies set by websites owned by organizations or individuals operating/living in the European Union. The law allows an exception for cookies which are "strictly necessary for a service requested by a user", such as those used to remember when something has been added to a shopping basket or allowing users to login. These cookies would be implicitly expected by the user. However, the law always applies to cookies which store personal information (such as names and email addresses).
The Cotonti CMS uses only one cookie. This cookie is used to store the user ID and session identifier after a user logs in. No personal information is involved. Also, the cookie is opt-in, meaning it's only stored if the user enables the 'remember me' checkbox on the login form. However, Cotonti does allow to force the 'remember me' option through the admin panel, which would hide the 'remember me' checkbox and enable it in the background. Since this behavior is not implicitly expected by a user, nor is the cookie a requirement for Cotonti to operate, forcing the 'remember me' option would probably not be allowed under the new law.
We recommend to do the following:
Important note
Since each EU member state has to implement its own version of the law (the EU version is just a directive), details of the law may be different between countries. For example, the Dutch version also includes legislation on net neutrality. You should therefore inform yourself of the exact details of the law in your own country. The Cotonti Team and the author of this article accept no liability for any inaccuracies in the article. It's your own responsibility to ensure your site complies with local and international laws.

By the way, do you have a cool site running Cotonti? Don't forget to add it to our showcase. It helps to demonstrate the newcomers what can be done using this wonderful system.
Our project has been publicly available for 3 years by now! It's hard to believe but time passes so fast. I like measuring the progress by statistics, so here are some interesting facts about what we have achieved during these 3 years:
Quite impressive, isn't it? And how about the birthday present? Here it is! It's called "Siena 0.9.7" and it contains over 30 bugfixes and over 10 enhancements among which there are:
Now it's time to celebrate!
What's new:
Cotonti Team and Community wishes you all the best in the New Year 2012. We have prepared some presents which could be useful for you in the upcoming year:
And guess what? TPL Tags Repository is back online, supporting both Siena and Genoa branches simultaneously!
2012 is going to be a great year for Cotonti project: it will reach v1.0.0, grow stability, documentation, the number of long awaited extensions and new themes. Let it be a great year for you too!
We continue improving Siena branch on our way to 1.0.0 release. What's new in 0.9.6:
For more information please visit Release notes.
You might notice that we had a poll a while ago to pick the best name for 1.0.x branch. The name of Valencia has been the most popular. However, at Cotonti Team we decided to continue using Siena as the name for 1.0.x branch for 2 obvious reasons: a) 1.0.x is fully compatible with 0.9.x; b) rebranding is quite an expensive thing. So we will use those wonderful names of Avila and Valencia later when it is really time for a new branch name.
Another message from Cotonti headquarters: the developers have shifted their focus from development of new features to stabilization of Siena code, improvements in extension repository and documentation writing. Your input in this direction is highly appreciated.
Did you know that a GUI tool for generating Cotonti extensions from templates and converting plugins from Genoa to Siena exists? Now you do. The program is available in English and Russian and has some powerful wizards which will automate some tasks for extension developers and experimenters.
System requirements: Microsoft Windows, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.
