After 3 years of development and testing, Pines 1.0, the first stable release, is out today! The community repository has a new address:
https://pinesplaza.com/1/community/repo/

Pines recently made the switch from XHTML 1.0 to HTML5! All SciActive maintained code will still ensure XHTML 1.0 validity, so any new templates using XHTML will still validate.
