A lot has changed in this first release. Some minor and some relatively major items. MiaCMS v4.6.4 was based on Mambo 4.6.3's latest SVN as of April 29th, with a few minor merges since then. We wish we could have started with the Mambo 4.7 release we worked so hard to help build, but alas 4.7 has sat dormant for months and still has not seen a GPL release. With the majority of the development team now working on MiaCMS who knows when 4.7 will see the light of day. Thus we have been forced to move on without it and re-implement some of the same items ourselves where it made sense. Many (not all) of original goals for the Mambo 4.7 release can now be found in MiaCMS, plus many more that were not planned for Mambo. The team has been on a roll since we decided to fork two weeks ago. Below is an attempt to document those changes for you:

Cliffnotes/Executive Summary

  1. New default frontend template called "Borders"
  2. New administrator template
  3. Introduction of the YUI Library as our framework of choice for future releases

  6. New Sitemap component
