There have been a few fixes here and there since the last release and I wanted to get you all up-to-date, so here's Hotaru 1.1.2.
~~~~~~
If you're new here and wondering what exactly Hotaru CMS is, think of it as "Wordpress without blogging". If Wordpress didn't do blogging by itself, you'd need plugins to do it for you. And if you had to make plugins, you wouldn't be limited to just blogging. You could make plugins for any kind of site, whether a blog, a social network, an online shop, etc. That's Hotaru CMS, a framework for making websites customized to your needs. As an example, check out the demo (http://demo.hotarucms.org/). It showcases a Digg clone made with Hotaru plugins.

Hotaru v.1.1.2 contains numerous bug fixes and new features since version 1.1.1 (http://hotarucms.org/showthread.php?464-Hotaru-CMS-1.1.1-Released).

Here are some of the changes since Hotaru 1.1.1:
NOTE: Plugins are now updated independently of the core Hotaru system. Look for changes in the Plugin Downloads (http://hotarucms.org/forumdisplay.php?18-Plugin-Downloads) forum, or subscribe to individual plugin threads for email updates.
- [FIXED] Widgets with arguments appended to their functions names (e.g. RSS Show) were breaking the order when moving from one widget block to another.
- [FIXED] Blank space prior to RSS Show widgets was caused by junk characters in simplepie.inc.
- [FIXED] Unwanted DIV in the header moved to the footer.
- [FIXED] CSS/JS was still getting minified in debug mode.
- [FIXED] When allowing the underline "U" HTML tag in posts, comments, etc, it was still getting stripped.
- [CHANGED] *Moved CSS out of core siteClosed function into default theme CSS (#1283 (http://my-trac.assembla.com/HotaruCMS/changeset/1283)).
- [CHANGED] Added the -f parameter to the default mail function in the hope it will help emails reach their targets.
- [NEW] Built-in option to use SMTP email authentication.
- [NEW] *Added a "yellow" message color to the admin and default themes (#1295 (http://my-trac.assembla.com/HotaruCMS/changeset/1295)).
- [NEW] Added the ability to override the default "site closed for maintenance" screen with a custom template.
- [NEW] Plugin hook added to smartCacheSQL so plugins with their own database tables, e.g. Messaging, can use the smartCache functions.
- [NEW] File names added to merged CSS/JS file in debug mode.
- [NEW] cacheHTML function for basic caching without using database update checks like smartCache does.
* Theme designers! Please add these changes to your themes.
