New Zealand-based SilverStripe Ltd. is due to release SilverStripe CMS 3.0 in alpha in October and beta before Christmas. The biggest change to the current content management system will be the separation of the SilverStripe Framework as its own entity.
The framework as a stable basis, formerly known as ‘Sapphire’, enables the developer to build more than just traditional websites but applications for any device and any purpose.
SilverStripe CMS 3.0 promises an improved user interface, a better technical platform and will embrace social media and mobile web applications
Product Marketing Manager Kerstin Schuman says that SilverStripe Ltd. is proud to give the framework a status of it’s own; it is a great tool to build anything a developer wants. The framework will now become a standalone member of the SilverStripe Suite, becoming downloadable as a separate development tool. The SilverStripe Suite comprises of the SilverStripe CMS, SilverStripe Framework, SilverStripe Site Monitor and supported SilverStripe modules.
Schuman says the release of the framework gives SilverStripe the opportunity to reach a new group of people who need more than just a CMS in order to build creative new web applications.
These changes mean that the SilverStripe site performance measuring tool, previously known as Dawn, will be renamed to SilverStripe Site Monitor.
