Support for WB News v1.x will now cease, it is recommended that all users upgrade to v2.0.x. For those unaware the official end date was October 1st 2008 due to the ending of support and development of PHP 4. For those wanting to upgrade a bug fix will be released in the next few days to address a couple of outstanding issues. For those that are using CVS to download WB News i will be merging the 2.0.2 branch on to HEAD in the next few days.php

WB News v2.0.0 Released

I am pleased to announce after 1 year of development, and 4 months of beta testing that WB News v2.0.0 has now finally been released. It is a major upgrade for those currently using 1.4.x and you will need to have a minimum version of 1.4.4 installed to be able to cleanly upgrade. Major changes include:

  • Complete Template Engine rewrite
  • Usergroup bit permissions system
  • A Rich Text Editor for adding news
  • Ability to save News as Drafts
  • Ability to release and archive news when you want
  • Category permissions based on usergroup assignment

The entire API has been been almost re-written from the ground up to be supporting out of the box PHP 5 and MySQL 5. With so many changes there are bound to be many hidden things for most users so documentation is currently being prepared to get the most out of WB News. I highly recommend all sites currently using WB News v1.x to upgrade.
