The v0.9.9.x branch is reaching the end of its life while we make amazing progress with v1.0. This last release makes PyroCMS not only gets a Dutch language pack but it's insanely stable, with no new bugs being reported in a long time.

Changes

• Increased page title and slug length from 60 to 255.
• Removed all non-cool characters from Widget short name to stop you having to.
• Added Dutch language pack.

Bugs

• Language switcher will now work when Pyro is installed out of web root.

v1.0-dev is still coming along strong with some awesome little changes made recently:

Widgets can now go in modules and any packages

Thats right, you can now bundle widgets into your custom modules and any other "CodeIgniter Package" folders you may have set up. That's a change for the CI developers and not the users, but it means you can easily include widgets related to modules without having to install separately.

Theme views and layouts must now use .html not .php

Why? If we allowed users to upload .php files to their servers, dangerous code could get onto the servers. Now that all our theme files use .html instead of .php you know for a fact no dangerous server-side code is running that you don't know about.

Comment's can now be properly unmoderated 

If comment moderation is disabled you will only see a list of comments, no "unapproved" stuff. Previously you would see an empty page of "Comments awaiting approval" even though they didn't need to be. Duh!

No more Categories or Permission Roles

Categories wasa pointless module that has now been merged into the news module, and "Permission Roles" have been split out of the Permissions module to make their own module new Groups.

There are many more awesome changes in the v1.0-dev branch - you can subscribe to the GitHub ATOM feed to keep fully up-to-date. If there is anything you'd like to put into the v1.0-dev branch why not just fork and commit them? Chances are they will be accepted and you'll have your name in an open-source project!
