The first release candidate for Geeklog 1.5.0 is now available for download. This version is now feature complete but may still contain bugs - please help us find them. We have also updated geeklog.net to 1.5.0rc1, so you can try it out right here. Of course, as mentioned before, the most interesting new features are "under the hood", so please download the tarball and try it out yourself.

The changes over Beta 2: MS SQL support should now be working properly, a couple of bugs in the Calendar plugin have been fixed, and stories now work with the "timezone hack" again. There were also a few more theme changes and the first updated translations have arrived.

Nextide is pleased to announce the release of version 1.1 of the nexPro Portal suite and immediate availability for un-restricted downloads.

You can now download the full Nexpro suite and the individual nexpro plugins. While nexPro has always been offered wihout a license fee, there was a requirement to purchase an annual support agreement and now, that requirement no longer exists. We are still offering our premium support and custom development services, sites that need a higher level of service should review our Service Offering.

The Nexpro suite is an integrated version of Geeklog with all of our plugins pre-installed as part of the single download making it a simple matter to just enable the plugins you want. Nexpro version 1.1 is still based on GL 1.4.1 but all of the plugins have been tested with GL 1.5. The nexpro suite and plugins provide unique business oriented features like:

• nexFlow: workflow engine with graphical workflow editor
• nexForm: online forms designer allows anyone to add simple to very complex forms with no programming
• nexContent: Feature rich CMS plugin used to manage all of the site content on our nextide site.
• nexProject: Integrated project management - Gnatt charts, delegated tasks, disussions and more
• nexFile: Document management with flexible permission controls and version management

We have much more detail on our site and encourge you to check out our site blog, documentation wiki and plugin overviews.
There are video tutorials that provide a good overview.

So we're trying to stick to the Release early, release often mantra for once: The second beta version of Geeklog 1.5.0 is now available for download.

This version fixes some issues with the XHTML support (including errors in some language files), a database and some cosmetic issues in the Polls plugin, display issues in the Static Pages plugin, and a few other minor problems. MS SQL install should now work but upgrades still don't (they do for MySQL, though).

Please note that we had to make a database change and some more theme changes in this version, so it's not fully compatible with beta 1. Beta 2 is still not quite finished.
