Today, Dotclear is 9 years old, and we can't help but be emotional, thinking that it will leave the house one day. But it calls for a small celebration, so here are three things:

We're starting with a new release. Dotclear 2.4.4 is mostly a bugfix release and you shouldn't notice any difference. Except if you're using the "Program post" feature that was broken in the last release: it's back. Grab the 2.4.4. here: http://download.dotclear.org/latest.zip

In order to clear the backlog of things we'd like not to think about any more: the DC Loader, the script that allows you to install Dotclear in three clicks, has been updated, is now prettier, and is localization ready (only English and French are available, for now, though.) Grab it there: http://download.dotclear.net/loader/dotclear-loader.php

Last but not least, a small pre-announcement: the team has started to work on a Dotclear version nicknamed "Sexy". It should coexist for a while with the good old official one and aims to rewrite a good part of its internals in order to be lighter, quicker, sexier! Watch this space for a future announcement, explaining what it's all about.
