Poor Man's CMS - development info

Time is running! Nearly 4 month since my last 'development info' news. So it's time to tell you the state of the art.

Poormans has now two nice features: the overdue support of hierarchical levels and a gallery with thumbnails! All images of a gallery are rendered to their preferred size, so you get the optimum for viewing quality and loading time in your exported site.

Poor Man's CMS goes SWT

At the very beginning poormans was a servlet based web application running on a local pc. Now poormans is completely rearranged and has grown up to a nice swt application. Being in an early beta state, there are a few bugs.
I hope, you enjoy it!

New release of the distribution file

Poor Man's CMS (poormans) is a very basic CMS running on a local pc, generating static html pages.
This is the second file release of the distribution version. It's very easy to install and tested. Being in a very early alpha state, it's usable but not very fanzy.

At the moment, the gui is under hot development. This release is one step to a rewritten gui.

Changes:
- GUI now works with IE6 (thanks to Dominique for doing a lot of tests)
- WYSIWYG editor improvements
- lot of bugfixes
- updated some basic libraries and fckeditor
