It's already August and that means that the official Dash 1.0 launch day is looming! That means that it's time for me to update you folks on what's new and what's still under work (of course you can read the changelog for this).
Dash 1.0 is the first official launch of Dash, because previous versions of Dash were known under the name BalfBlog and secondly because previous releases didn't really get much of a release. Now I'm happy to announce that Dash has been fully optimised for use in any situation and I'm hoping to do an official launch video and so on.
For now, I'll update you on what's new (read previous blog posts to see what I had already added before now).
What's new?
- A new password recovery feature
- A new request account feature
- System lock down - only allow administrators login privelages
- A more consistent look across the (Dash)board
- New reports
- Post viewing internally within the dashboard
- More object oriented features including object persistence
- A new method of access content known as the Dash Content Manager (
DashContentManager.class.php) - More administration options
- Blocking and allowing IP addresses
- Dash logs - storing information about what users are up to
- Performance logging
- Sprint templating engine - parses a template to an AST to be traversed when generating posts
- Many bug fixes
What's still to come?
- Personalised styling - add a company theme or an individual style to a content management system
- IP address ranges for blocking and allowing
- Related posts currently do not use the templating engine - neither do emails (although emails do use templates, they just don't use the Sprint engine to parse them)
- Help system is getting a complete redesign
