It's my pleasure to introduce you all to my loved newborn son: Clip 0.9.0.
I'm too young to be a father, but the time finally came, and I'm rather proud of it. With such cool grandparents like Marco Kundert and Jørn Wildt, who provided the code and the concept years ago, it's a healthy child with a lot of potential. Now the community must give it all the love possible to grow healthy, and improve its features and possibilities.

Zikula Core 1.3.2 is released.
Clip 0.9.0 is released.
Tag 1.0.1 is released.
PostCalendar 7.0.1 is released.
Download links available on the Try Zikula page.

We are happy to announce that a new version of ModuleStudio is available. The new version includes many bugfixes and minor improvements, but also some new features.

Pushed by some discussions in the German Zikula forums we realised an import from table structures of existing modules into ModuleStudio. Together with Robert Gasch we implemented that quite quickly and reasonable by using a bridge via XML files. But there are some more exciting news...

Zikula Core 1.2.8 (build 17) is available for general release from today.

It's time for everyone to consider migrating away from the Cozi for module project hosting. Github provides absolutely everything and more than what we have at code.zikula.org. The integration between github and the Cozi is also clumsy from a technical standpoint and very processor intensive since we need to clone and sync each GIT repository hosted at github with the Trac in separate databases. The service is extremely resource intensive and requires a lot of baby sitting from a maintenance point of view.

Even though a few people might prefer like subversion over GIT, even github provides SVN hosting through a seamless bridge system at Github, where you can access git repositories using your normal subversion client.

We are getting closer to a final release of 1.3.0. I am happy to announce the Zikula 1.3.0 Release Candidate 6 is available for immediate testing. Please help us by testing this release, instructions and download can be found at http://code.zikula.org/core/ticket/3134

Zikula 1.3.0 Release Candidate is available for immediate testing. If you wish to participate in the QA phase, please take a look at http://code.zikula.org/core/ticket/3116

We have declared a feature freeze on Zikula 1.3.0 development (with exception of FilterUtil which still needs a couple of tweaks). We are therefore in a position to release the last public beta before we move to the release candidate phase. Download now and test Zikula 1.3.0-BETA3 - http://go.zikula.org/cb3

Please report any issues in the bug tracker as normal at http://code.zikula.org/core/

It's been a long time in the making, but, Zikula 1.3.0 is pretty much ready. Before we move to a full freeze and release candidate we'd like to issue a preview release. Please download and test Zikula 1.3.0-PR1 from http://go.zikula.org/cpr1

Depending on the feedback we get from this PR1 release, will determine how quickly we progress to a full freeze and release candidate, so, please help us by testing Zikula 1.3.0-PR1 today.

Download now - http://go.zikula.org/cpr1

Any issues should be reported to the bug tracker as normal at http://code.zikula.org/core/newticket

A few months ago, the core development team made a group decision which changes the dynamics of Zikula development to create a more open and community friendly development process. Until now, the title core developers were meant someone with commit access to our source repositories. This is a historical fact born from having used Subversion for source control.

Traditionally, projects that use centralised permission based source control like Subversion or CVS, if you want to contribute you either have to make manual patches or request commit access to the source control repository. Both of these ways are barriers because manual patches are slow to verify, and to get commit access usually requires a great deal of trust which has to be earned. Not only that, commit access is usually reserved for those who make a commitment to the project. This makes casual participation difficult.

Now that we use GIT source control we thought it was time to really take advantage of the open and collaborative qualities GIT brings to us by adopting the "contributor/collaborator workflow".

The "Cozi", code.zikula.org is a free service the Zikula Project provides to anyone wanting to develop extensions for Zikula. It provides a tools-set of issue tracker, Wiki, download area, subversion/GIT repository hosting, repository browser and so on. However, of late, this service has been under attack from both automated and manual content spammers who use issue tracking to report 250-500 word articles loaded with links. If you are a project owner, you need to read this article because you need to take some action in your project administration.

After the great success of the Scribite sponsoring and considering discussions during the last Camp Zikula the German Zikula association's managing committee has launched another - even more comprehensive - sponsoring. With the new Zikula version a very powerful core will be available, many modules are already being updated. For example a mighty successor of Pagesetter is developed with Clip, but also other modules (e.g. News, Content, Post­Cal­en­dar, etc.) were and are being cleaned up for the new core.

The whole topic of media management is outdated though; Medi­aAt­tach and Medi­ashare are the two currently most used media modules, but next to it there are also many other special solutions (e.g. User­Pic­tures, Relay, Sim­ple­Gallery, Avatar and crpVideo). Not any of these modules is completely ready for being used with 1.3, some of them won't ever cope with it maybe.

For success of the coming Zikula version it is however required in our opinion to start a modern and sustainable successor for Medi­ashare and Medi­aAt­tach (during discussion also the Down­loads section has been added).

Zikula Core 1.2.5 (build 230) is available for general release from today. In keeping with our promise to produce a maintenance release 3 to 4 times per year, this release resolves around 30 issues including one potential security flaw surrounding the Users module (thanks to YEHG for reporting). You are recommended to upgrade to Zikula Core 1.2.5 as soon as possible. Please download the latest version from http://zikula.org/infopages/CMS/Download.1.

Bug fix highlights

• Fixed file type shorturls not working - issue #2520.
• Fixed special characters not replaced in permalink replacements - issue #2580, #2651, #1924 and #2101.
• Fixed potential XSS in Users module.
• Password reset email contains broken link when requested through SSL (issue #2506).
• Regression - Login function bug for users with special characters since 1.2.x (issue #2273).

myProfile - the flexible profile module for zikula community websites - has now been released in version 2.3. This version does not only fix some bugs (updates are strongly recommended) it also adds some new features

Development of the Content module is alive again.
Content is a page editing module. Each page has a specific layout and can contain Content Items such as HTML text, videos, maps and more.

The 3.2 release is a major release with a lot of bugfixes and enhancements and is meant for Zikula Core 1.2.x. As you can read in the changelog in the extdb, it has been a combined effort of several people. I have picked up the task of getting a new version out there and making sure tickets are being solved. But also thanks to Sven (mrtux), Carsten (herrr.vorragend) a lot of improvement has been made.

Summary of the main changes:

• Permission checks are updated
• Cloning a page and restoring deleted pages is now possible
• Several new plugins are available (OpenStreet maps, camtasia videos, breadcrumb trail)
• The Google maps plugin has been updated
• More layout templates to choose from
• A lot of layout updates and nicer look & feel
• It's a lot easier to enable/disable a page and enable/disable use in the menus
• Several database tables now have indexes for more speed
• A introduction article is created on a fresh install

We are happy to release the new MOST version 0.5.1 which fixes numerous bugs. Beside these corrections also several new functions have been integrated.

In the editors there is a small change: performance of live validation has been improved by closing a memory leak.

Apart from that the focus for this version was the generator.

We are proud to announce the release of Zikula 1.2.4. This is a bug fix release for the Zikula 1.2 series. Version 1.2.4 corrects some specific issues with shorturls and sessions management as well as several other small issues. If you have not yet upgraded from Zikula 1.1.x to 1.2.x, you may do so directly with this version.

Please visit the download page to get the latest version.
The patch release is available at the Cozi.
