MachCMS / News: Recent posts

Yesterday we released the Mac OS X package for MachCMS 1.0 and today we released the standard versions. Also available now is a PHP4 version of MachCMS.

The main release requires PHP 5.1.0RC1 or later but the php4 version does run under PHP5 but does not work under strict mode.

Please report any bugs you may have and talk about it in the forums. Much feedback is welcome!

After 7 months of nothing, I am pleased to announce that the MachCMS project is once again going somewhere.
We have done a 100% rewrite. The entire design has been refocused on simplicity and flexibility. We have totally thrown out modules and replaced them with pages. MachCMS is now under the public domain with part of it under the GPL (the editor). The MachCMS source code contains a blessing instead of a copyright.... read more

MachCMS 0.2.1 was released today. This is a minor update that fixes a bug where all system modules were loaded even if they were disabled. That is the only change so you only need to upgrade if you have a problem with that.

This result of another months work is now available as a Mac OS X installer or tarball.

For you Mac OS X users, installing a simple package should install MachCMS without a single problem. It will even install PHP 5 for you if needed.

For all others, the tarball should be no problem to install as long as you have PHP 5 and a good web server such as Apache installed.

The next thing that needs to be done this month yet is write some good documentation and build a better web site.... read more

MachCMS 0.1 is now available. It is rather stable but very much incomplete. Development is coming along and the next release expected next month will be at least twice as good.

MachCMS is a zero configuration content management system written in PHP 5 and makes use of SQLite.

MachCMS is being developed and components planned right now. In November we expect to see the first 0.1 release.

To start off MachCMS will use SQLite for the database. SQLite is enabled by default in PHP 5 installations which is what MachCMS will require.

The module and template/themes system is designed to be very flexible but yet easy to work with. It is object oriented.

As soon as the basic code is written and proved stable it will be checked into CVS and you will be able to get it from there.
