We are pleased to announce a second beta release of Textpattern CMS 4.6.

We are pleased to announce a beta release of Textpattern CMS 4.6.

Sending passwords via email in cleartext hasn’t been cool since about 1971, so Textpattern CMS 4.6.0 (finally!) changes that.

What’s that coming over the hill; is it a r… r… r… roadmap? When I made the speculative forum post about meeting up face-to-face with Textpattern CMS users and developers earlier this year, I had no idea how it would turn out.

Roll up roll up, it’s time for a meeting of Textpattern faces, both in person or virtually via the magic of the Internet. Be there or be… vaguely rectangular.

Real or imaginary, art or fiction, the J. R. Hartley of Textpattern has graced websites for a decade. Would the real Donald Swain please stand up.

Once upon a time, in a Twitter conversation far, far away, Robert Wetzlmayr (Textpattern’s lead developer) asked me what my exit plan was for when time came to depart as editor-in-chief of TXP Magazine. I think he picked up on some Twitter ranting, or something…

Textpattern CMS 4.6 is coming. It’s time for us to focus on language support and ensure translations are as accurate and comprehensive as possible.

The meta description HTML tag is still going strong, yet Textpattern CMS needs a plugin or custom field to use it. Not any more!

We will switch from Subversion to Git as our SCM, and move Textpattern’s official repository to GitHub at the same time.

Happy tenth birthday, Textpattern. Version 4.5.7 of our favourite CMS is released. #Happy10Txp

Textpattern CMS 4.5.5 establishes compatibility with PHP 5.5, and updates the bundled jQuery library to version 1.8.3.
