We are currently fine-tuning the next release of Textpattern CMS, which will hopefully become available within a week.

Usually every day is a good day to say thank you to the people who help you. But we have to admit, we’re the kind of guys who are sometimes a bit too busy doing those not too important things, like code and work on non Open Source projects which pay our bills.

Just added to crockery (the Textpattern CMS 4.1 branch) is a new feature called ‘Elements’.

Yes, really it’s out! Take a look at the announcement from Dean in the forum.

Your constructive feedback (or ideally getting involved) can help improve the status of documentation.

Now you can finally put the preview where you think it belongs and change and customize how it looks to your desire. So what does it practically gain you?

Textpattern CMS localized support continues growing thanks to our increasing group of fabulous translators.

That’s it: we’ve reached the commit #1000 now!

Starting from revision 979 labels provided for the Textpattern listing tags (recent_articles, recent_comments, linklist, related_articles, category_list, section_list and file_download_list) will be nevermore added as the first item of those lists.

One of the newer conditional tags added to Textpattern – if_different – allows to display date based contents in our sites without trouble.

Courtesy of maijs, Latvian is the 23th language available for Textpattern. You can install it from the languages section now.

There are three new conditional tags in the 4.0 branch: if_first_article, if_last_article and if_different.
