History

Webmobo started back in 2003 originally as a CMS, and a early beta release in Feb 2004. In March of the same year the project was scrapped but the News part of the system was saved to be used in a college project. It wasn't until May 2004 when a friend wanted a basic News script which he liked and suggested new features that it become an Open Source News script, and in June Webmobo News now known as WB News was released as v0.01 (0.0.1).

In the first few months there were several minor version upgrades and October 2004 a minor milestone version was released v0.1.0. There were many releases during this phase of development and v0.4.0 was where WB News started to gain some notice with almost 3000 new downloads and was released yearly 2005. Just over a year since the first milestone release saw WB News reach its first major milestone in Nov 2005 with v1.0.0 it had several changes including better text editor, upgraded template engine and improved user management.

Version 1.x.x has been around for just under 3yrs and has changed immensly since the days of a small news script and has now become a News framework for developers. WB News has only just reached its 2nd major milestone of v2.0.0.
