The final release of InfoGlue 2.3 is now available for immediate download.
Release notes
---------------------------------------
The InfoGlue Team is very pleased to finally announce version 2.3 of the InfoGlue CMS and Portal platform.
This release contains many important improvement of the 2.1 release and the platform has matured a lot since then.
Among the new features are a lot of new user features which makes you much more efficient. This along with a big effort on
system management and maintainability as well as on performance makes it worth the wait. We have also made some neat additions which let's you expose some editing and user preferences to non-cms-users if you like. Very nice for intranets and community sites.
Thanx to all involved!!
