Textpattern 4.0

16 August 05

The new stable release…all systems go!

Two days ago, Textpattern 4.0 was announced to the world. I was expecting it be be labeled Textpattern 1.0, as that was the hype before the release (and I’m still a little confused why it was not), but I don’t really care either way. For me the proof is in the package, not the number, and right now the package is really shaping up…lots of improvements and enhancements.

I’ve updated here with the new release, and everything went smooth as silk.Now that Textpattern has stabilized quite a bit, I’ll try and get back to writing/editing in TextBook (and other things that are long past due). There is lots to be done in TextBook (community involvement is pretty low), but it’s slowly coming along. My immediate focus will be with documenting the admin interface panels, as that is a pretty important chapter.

Anyway, if you are hunting for a lightweight content management system to handle your Web publishing needs, Textpattern is as good as they come, and in many respects better. I encourage you to keep it in mind.
