Re: [Radiant] [ANN] Radiant CMS 1.0

2012-02-28 Thread Joel Oliveira
Congratulations to the entire team - John (x2), Jim, William ... et al.

Additional congratulations to the rest of us that get to use Radiant on a
daily basis.  My tiny little consultancy wouldn't be what it is without the
software you guys have put together.  Cheers, beers and whiskey to you all.

Thank you!

- Joel

 I'm proud to be able to release 1.0:

http://radiantcms.org/download/

 Many good things have gone into this long-awaited release. The 1.0
 series will be the last on Rails 2.
 Only minor fixes will go into any further 1.x releases and our effort
 will be focused on Rails 3 and further modularization of Radiant.

 WHAT IS RADIANT CMS?

 Radiant is a no-fluff content management system made for designers and
 programmers and is ideal for use on small teams. It is similar to
 Movable Type or Textpattern, but is much more than a blogging engine.

 Radiant features:

   * An elegant user interface
   * The ability to arrange pages in a hierarchy
   * Flexible templating with layouts, snippets, page parts, and a
 custom tagging language (Radius: http://radius.rubyforge.org)
   * A dynamic extension system
   * A simple user management/permissions system
   * Support for Markdown and Textile as well as traditional HTML
 (it's easy to create other filters)
   * Operates in two modes: dev and production depending on the URL
   * A caching system which expires pages every 5 minutes
   * Built using Ruby on Rails (which means that extending Radiant is
 as easy as any other Rails application)
   * Licensed under the MIT-License
   * And much more...

 There's even a live demo over on the project Web site:

http://radiantcms.org/demo/


 WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?

 Radiant now runs on Ruby 1.9!

 We now support Bundler and have a default way to manage attachments,
 stylesheets (with support for Sass/SCSS), JS (with support for
 CoffeeScript),
 built-in page preview, and many more features.

Re: [Radiant] [ANN] Radiant CMS 1.0

2012-02-28 Thread Jim Gay
1.0 was always going to be the last release for Rails 2

There was a lot of development done for Rails 3, but the upgrade
process for Radiant has been painful for a long time. Despite protests
from others, I insisted that we stick to Rails 2 because there were
bugs, missing features, and plenty of painful history of upgrading.
I didn't want to cause problems for developers with existing
installations by jumping to Rails 3 and changing the architecture.
There's a lot more that we can do by making serious changes an a major
number release.

I've already started work for 1.1 to see if we can remove dependencies
from the gemspec and put them into the Gemfile so that you can more
easily opt out of certain features. After that, we'll resurrect the
rails3 branch and start clean.

I'll likely begin pushing Rails 3 changes into the master branch tomorrow.
