Dotclear 2.1 RC1 is available for testers and adventurers. Many new features are coming up, a lot of enhancements for theme creators, and much more.
Except in case of natural disaster or something, Dotclear 2.1 will be released on November 1st as scheduled. We'll then have the opportunity to describe you this new version in more details. In the meantime, here is a non-restrictive list of the new features:
- Automatic updates & upgrades
- Subcategories
- Inherited themes that lets you create a theme from another theme's templates
- New template tags
- H.264 (HD) video support via m4v files
- Widget tags for ultimate flexibility when inserting widgets in a template
- A more secure administration session cookie
- Full support of Wordpress XML-RPC methods
You are invited to test this version and report issues you might encounter. It is a test version, there is no automatic installation and you should not use it for production. Although, this version will be automatically updated when Dotclear 2.1 final is released (as will be all nightly builds).
You will find Dotclear 2.1 RC1 with the other nightly builds.
Thanks for reading and see you in a few days :)
