Changes since the last announcement:

- Enabled FCKeditor as alternative default editor to BXE (instead of Kupu)
- Added "about" page in the demo.
- Added twoday to Flux Blog importer (by Hannes)
- Added memcache support for some DB lookups
- Added possibility to add users without admin account
- Enhanced possibilities to allow for private posts without admin account
- Less warnings with PHP 5.1
- Prevent spam via contact form (see this for more info)
- Many other bugfixes

Flux CMS 1.5 is already on the way, with some new blog features and a whole new more advanced permission system.

The trunk branch is now considered somehow stable (although some more testing is needed). The only thing missing is the new OpenID code for blogcomments, which doesn't work properly right now (and is disabled by default). We will check in that code soon and then 1.4 (or an RC of it) can be released.

What's new:

- Real UTF-8 support for MySQL (More info)
- Reorganized Blogcomment code (no filter anymore, it's in the blog plugin now)
- Multi Blog support (that one needs definitively more testing)
- "Remember me" option in blogcomments
- Cocomment support (More info)
- Updated OpenID server
- Added OpenID support for blog comments
- Captcha support for blogcomments (disabled by default)
- "Remember me" option for login
- Added Linklog Plugin (by Alain)
- Added the basket plugin
- New "lastmodified='now'" parameter for Xhtml plugin
- Enable LinkBrowser in FCK (and BXE to some extend)
- Added file_browser to dbforms2
- Image Preview in FCK and dbforms2
- Allow building of array parameters in .configxml (More info)
- cleaned up interface for action_bxcms (by qMax, More info)
- Updated some PEAR classes
- Lots of little bugfixes

Upgrading shouldn't break anything important, but do not forget to call http://yourdomain.org/admin/webinc/update/ and rm -rf tmp/*

And if you have any showstopper bugs, please let us know :)

PS: This blog runs now the 1.4-dev code .)

Flux CMS 1.3.0 didn't properly install on the latest Windows XAMPP installations and therefore I decided to release Flux CMS 1.3.1 today. Here's a short list of the most important changes since the 1.3.0 releases:

- added clipboardpastedialog to BXE
- Added Icons for delete in category/files/image blog-editor
- Fix Sitemap installer on Windows
- Linked Popoon to Popoon 1_1 branch
