MOStlyCE 3.1.0.1 Released
Written by Chad Auld   

MOStlyCE, version 3.1.0.1, was released this week.  The biggest change for this release was an upgrade of the TinyMCE core from 3.0.7 to the latest version available 3.1.0.1.  This brings in lots of bug fixes and better support for Opera 9.50 and the Firefox 3.0 . Their full changelog can be found here.

There was also some general reworking of the compression feature in MOStlyCE.  It had not been functioning properly in recent versions of Opera and/or with the new FireFox 3.0 release.  Editor compression is important because it reduces the overall size of the editor by up to 75% and reduces the number of HTTP requests required to load the editor.  As always you can find the latest version on the projects SourceForge page.  Upgrade instructions can be found here.

This is a reminder that this release is for MiaCMS only.  The final release of MOStlyCE for Mambo was version 3.0.5.
