Releasing Frog 0.9.5 RC1
The Frog development team is pleased to announce that we've released Frog 0.9.5 RC1
Please see the download page if you want to help us test RC1.
About this release
This release of Frog sees some major changes in the structure of the system. The backend/frontend split was removed which off course severely affected paths of file. There were some database schema changes aswell, but there were mostly additions. We would like to suggest that you read through the changes list carefully since there are some small gems in there. A couple of examples:
- Added front-end login feature similar to layout selector. (options: login required, not required, inherit)
- Added drag-to-copy feature for better multi-language support.
- Added a new core plugin called skeleton to help out new plugin developers.
- Added translation template generator to help out translators with translating Frog core and plugins.
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.
