The CPG Dev Team is pleased to announce the immediate release of Dragonfly 9.0.0 RC 1. The 9.x series marks a new milestone in CPG-Nuke's history, enhancing the speed, security, and usability well beyond what we accomplished in our 8.x series. Some key features in 9.0 are:

• Caching of commonly used data, such as site config
  
• Template-based theme system
  
• LEO (Link Engine Optimization)
  
• Classes for commonly used objects
  
• Search engine identification
  
• New admin control system for more flexibility
  
• Dragonfly theme

Our website has been updated drastically to accomodate for these massive changes. We have added a new bug reports sytem to keep track of bugs in a more organized fashion, allowing them to be fixed sooner. We've added a new Source Documentation in php.net style. Our FAQ has been rewritten so that it is now informative and usable. Please keep in mind that this is a release candidate, so there may be bugs. If you do find any, please report them here. We are in need of documentation for the final release of 9.0. If you are interested in helping us document the CMS, please contact either akamu, DJMaze, or Trevor.

Due to new powerfull options in dragonfly (aka CPG-Nuke 9.0) there are new doors opened in the way of content handling. To start with new possabilities here's some info about the new RSS system. The CVS has a new sub-folder called "rss" and in that directory are currently 2 files news.php (rss 0.9) and news2.php (rss 2.0).

Anyone running a content management system (CMS) other than Nuke is limited to CMS Find. As a Nuker, however, you can list your website NukeFind and CMSFind . Here is a hot tip - at NukeFind, let your visitors write reviews for your website. At CMS Find, write about your site in the web board.

Finally it's here, the Preview Release of the new Dragonfly CMS aka CPG-Nuke 9.0. We have put in a lot of time and coding to get our CMS as an CMS should be: very dynamic, secure and easy to use. The new classes, debugger, template system and a lot more, is a giant step towards the final core of a brand new CMS and a giant leap forward compared to our roots in PHP-Nuke where the original system was based on. The list of differences and fixes is so large that we can't list them here. Instead they are packaged with the download, in the (must read) "documentation" folder. The biggest advantages are: - LEO (Link Engine Optimization) - Faster page generations - Better security (using sessions) - Cached HTML Template system - Module (un)installer Try out this preview release now by going Here We would also like to thank everyone who has contributed support, bug reports, feature requests, donations and code. Without them we would have never accomplished this task.
