CMS Development Tracking

Today many new features were checked into the trunk branch of subversion in preparation for the December 1st release of Exponent Content Management System.  The current trunk version will be unstable for a bit longer as we work out the bugs, but feel free to check it out and pitch in with bug fixing if you are willing and able.

One major change to take note of, all modules that were previously released as "add-on" modules available for download on the SourceForge site are now included in the base release along with many modules that were lost for a time.

RSS support was added to the base install for the calendar, news and weblog modules.

One new module some users might find handy is the new wizard module which allows site admins to create forms and tie them together as a wizard.
