Here's Hotaru CMS 0.3 Alpha (download (http://hotarucms.org/showthread.php?p=131)).
This version of Hotaru differs significantly from the previous release. Most notably, all the plugins have been removed from the download package and are available in the Plugin Downloads (http://hotarucms.org/forumdisplay.php?f=18) forum instead. The reason for this is because Hotaru's development timeline as a "social bookmarking platform" was dependent on pushing out new plugins. However, since Hotaru is not limited to social bookmarking, it made little sense for plugin development to determine each Hotaru release.
Therefore, 0.3 Alpha is the base Hotaru system, which has had these changes since version 0.2:
- Code cleanup to bring it more in line with the PEAR Coding Standards
- Plugin Management "switch" column removed. The "Active" icon is a now an on/off switch.
- Pages are easierto determine with a new $hotaru->title member variable
- New is_settings_page function added to the Admin class
- New table_empty function added to the ezSQL class.
- Many more bug fixes and improvements...
Of course, there are a couple of new plugins, too: Sidebar (http://hotarucms.org/showthread.php?t=74) and Sidebar Posts (http://hotarucms.org/showthread.php?t=75).
As with any alpha project, you will quite likely uncover bugs or unexpected behavior. Please report these in the appropriate Support (http://hotarucms.org/forumdisplay.php?f=5) forum so we can squash all the glitches and make Hotaru a solid and secure platform to build amazing websites on.
