PageLayer in Production

With the version 0.4, PageLayer has now reached the production stage!

It has been running nicely for a few weeks now on a first official website and feedback is really positive. To make the experience a bit more fun, the end users work on Mac: a few fixes had to be made but it now runs smoothly in Firefox 2.0 or Safari 3, in French with UTF-8 and the PHP back-end.

The second production site is to be launched this week. And more to come quickly as it is easier than ever to build websites with PageLayer.

This is the validation long awaited to officially launch the distribution: license program to start very soon now. Version 0.4 is still considered as "Beta" but will be turned into solid 1.0 as soon as usability and features are approved.

PageLayer Version 0.4

A new release!

Version 0.4 brings in some of the most needed features to make PageLayer a complete production tool.

The "link creation" icon now launches a nice new window to create pages, empty or from template, link to a document or just type some url.

The "Includes" engine has been completely re-factored too:
- A included file can now be updated: changes are immediately visible on very pages that use the same include (i.e. navigation )
- Or just protect an include to make it un-editable: that's handy for forms.

Lot of things have been added, updated or fixed to make PageLayer even easier and more comfortable to use.
