Drupal 4.6.0 Released

Posted by timothy on from the drupal-carey-show dept.

ajayg writes "Drupal is IMHO one of the best open sourced Content Management Systems out there. The Drupal community has just released version 4.6.0 of their PHP based CMS which finally provides support for PHP5. The release follows 6 months of development, and includes -- among other changes -- better search function as well as usability improvements for permissions, block configuration, statistics tracking, logs, forum configuration, content administration, etc."

  1. The most well designed PHP app by dolmen.fr · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I don't know if Drupal is the best Open Source CMS, but at least it is by far the most well designed PHP application I've ever seen. The hook mecanism uses the PHP language symbol table to provide very good extensibility. It doesn't use PHP classes in its structure, but it is a strong point as this article shows: Drupal Programming from an Object-Oriented Perspective.

    I hope many open source PHP applications will reuse the Drupal architecture principles.
