Okay so the Beta and AdaptCMS 2.0 itself has seen numerous delays but it will be worth it. Regardless, the beta will be released very soon - with the blogs finished and the install data updated, now some basic testing to checkout the install and make sure it is a stable install - after that, release.

Seeing as that isn't much at all I would expect this weekend, more than likely Saturday. Stay tuned! (and it will be a PUBLIC beta)

With the design integrated and progress continuing, I figured I'd upload some pictures for the first look at the new AdaptCMS design!

AdaptCMS 2.0 Gallery

There's 6 new pictures altogether, with a look at the default frontend, file release system, top admin bar and more! Expect a blog pretty soon on the latest progress of AdaptCMS 2.0.

After some delays the new design for AdaptCMS was received and fully implemented this past week - frontend and backend. There will be pics up very soon! In the meantime I figured I'd announce a big detail I thought I had already announced:

AdaptCMS 2.0 will be free, released under the GPL License

The Lite and Pro versions of AdaptCMS were a pain to manage and before I was quite low on money so I needed some income - this time I do have money and have already spent some on AdaptCMS. This does open the script to a different audience and hopefully is not taken as a negative - just because it is free only now, do not expect the quality to be worse or more limited...instead 2.0 will be much better.

Private Beta

With the design finished, the install file was started and functioning leading to a small private beta starting up - just need to do the upgrade. This does not mean a public beta isn't happening, I just needed something small to weed out any large bugs and if the conditions are fine a public beta is very possible.

Stay tuned for updates - I'll post some pictures of 2.0 with the new design in the next few days and hopefully will have news on any public beta in the next week.

With the recent status change of AdaptCMS 2.0 from Alpha to Beta and the design being finished, I figured it was time to write another blog and try to do some catch up - there has been a large amount of work done since the last blog.

The release is still a decent ways off but the private beta should be in the next week or two, public beta could be a month or so after that. (depending on some things) Not only has work been done on the AdaptCMS features (including a lot on the social functionality), but also the share feature and related IV-integrated features like file releases.

But anyways, in this Blog I'll be going over the Social Feature (which outside of blogs and refining on messages, is done), File Releases and more. Onto the blog.

Still with a long ways to go, nonetheless, AdaptCMS 2.0 has gone from Alpha to the start of Beta stage. This means the script is somewhat stable - although serious testing is still a bit off.

There is still a lot of work left before a Beta is released but one of the important steps - a design - is in progress with the default frontend layout already done! Talking about progress, there has been a lot lately after a break - much work on the social and share features especially.

But I'll talk about that stuff in the upcoming blog. Stay tuned.

I realized with all this AdaptCMS 2.0 talk for some time now I should update with AdaptBB as well. Part of the reason besides the fact that 100% of my effort is going into AdaptCMS right now, there are some upcoming insanevisions.com features I may put into the next version of AdaptBB - AdaptBB 1.1.

Brainstorming (the first process) will finally begin soon and a blog should be up by the end of the month updating on the progress. Just a small heads up that AdaptBB is not dead and infact has quite a future!
