Updating from version 0.9.3
For full details, please see the updating.txt file included in the download! Updating consists of a few seperate steps. When executed correctly, this method of upgrading will keep downtime to a minimum. Please READ CAREFULLY:
- Make a backup of your current Frog installation.
- Make a backup of your current Frog database.
- Create a temporary directory. We’ll use this to prepare the upgrade in.
- Unzip the Frog package into the temporary directory as if you would install into it.
- Remove the “public” directory and everything in it from the temporary directory.
- Remove the config.php and _.htaccess files from the temporary directory.
- Copy all the non-core plugin directories from ../frog/plugins to your temporary location’s ../frog/plugins directory.
- Execute the following two SQL statements on your database:
INSERT INTO setting (name, value) VALUES ('default_tab', '');
INSERT INTO setting (name, value) VALUES ('allow_html_title', 'off');
Finally, execute the following steps (these actually upgrade the site):
- Copy all the files from the temporary directory to your installation’s root, replacing the old files.
- Check your site to see if the upgrade didn’t break anything.
You’re done!
For full details, please see the updating.txt file included in the download!

About Release Candidates
Most if not all stable releases of Frog will be preceded by one or more "Release Candidates". A release candidate is a version of Frog which we feel could be stable enough for normal use, but which we want to keep testing first. Once any issues that came up during testing of an RC release have been corrected, a stable release will be made available.
The intention of the RC releases is to give you, the user, a chance to help us test an upcoming release.

The Frog development team is pleased to announce that we've decided Frog is nearing a new release:
- Frog version 0.9.4 Release Candidate 1
- on Sunday 7th of September at the latest.
About Release Candidates
Starting with this release, most if not all stable releases of Frog will be preceded by one or more "Release Candidates". A release candidate is a version of Frog which we feel could be stable enough for normal use, but which we want to keep testing first. Once any issues that came up during testing of an RC release have been corrected, a stable release will be made available.
The intention of the RC releases is to give you, the user, a chance to help us test an upcoming release.
About Release Schedules
The Frog development team does not pre-plan new Frog releases. No release schedule will be made available. Once the development team feels a release is nearing completion, we will decide on a release date and announce it.
This is the first of those announcements.

A security related patch has been made available for Frog version 0.9.3. Please find more details at the security patches page.

The major alteration to Frog CMS 0.9.3 was the removal of comments from the core to a plugin. With that complete, bugs stomped, and other enhancements and fixes in place, this has now been made the current release. As always, you can grab it from the download page.
With this release, Frog CMS is now available under the GNU Affero General Public License, which replaces the previous MIT license. See the license.txt file for further details.
Thanks to all those who have helped with feedback, requests, encouragement, and most of all — by using Frog!

I can't forget to say a other big thanks to Bebliuc George for all is help on the forum, website, documentation, plugins and even the css of madebyfrog with the IE6 issue.
I want to say welcome aboard to Martijn too !!
And thank you to all of you that make Frog CMS know to other and I hope you like it !!

Yes it's done !!
This feature is as easy as the administration (backend) to use. You need to add a i18n folder under your plugin folder and name each file like for the backend (ie: for french it will be fr-message.php) and this file will return an associative array of the english version or the string and the translated one, exactly like the backend.
This feature will be available on version 0.9.3, and the release of the 0.9.3 will be done really soon. If you know how to use SVN, the code is already public on the code google page.
June 23, 2008
Work on 0.9.3 continues, with the addition of a couple new functions.
Users suggested that it would be great idea to be able to add page specific keywords and description fields to the Metadata tab. So we added them! See the full instructions in the Docs section of this site.
