Happy New Year 2012!2011-12-31

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:

• Adminizio, an alternative administration panel theme for Cotonti Siena.
• A whole garland of fresh plugins: CLeditor, FancyBox, Lastcommentsa, PageMultiAvatar, PHPMailer, OpenInviter, MobiSwitcher.
• Some ongoing updates in Facebook plugins.
• Pieter has updated Gameportal theme for Genoa and just released a Siena version. Dragonzap released his alternative administration panel theme and gallery plugin a while ago.

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!

Siena 0.9.6 released2011-12-05

We continue improving Siena branch on our way to 1.0.0 release. What's new in 0.9.6:

• CoTemplate 2.7 with FOR loops
• Page drafts
• Rightless user groups (more lightweight)
• jQuery 1.7.1
• Debug mode for hooks
• Over 10 other enhancements
• Over 25 bugs fixed

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.

Genoa 0.6.20 just reverts page_text field back to non-mandatory status and... brings CoTemplate 2.6.3 from Siena branch. Enjoy!

Plugin conversion campaign results are now available.
