Lifetype 1.2.5 is the latest maintenance release of the 1.2 branch.

“Continuing with the trend started in the 1.2 branch, Lifetype 1.2.5 delivers a couple of minor new features and some polish under the hood, specially concerning the API.

We have noticed that as of late, there has been a somewhat remarkable increase of support issues and bug reports related to the API, so it finally seems like users and developers have started to realize the potential of the fully-featured and documented API that you get with Lifetype.”

RunCMS 1.6 offers more speed, more features, and a new look and feel.

Speed improvements result from a revised caching system which saves SQL queries, from a new mechanism for user login and logout, and from optimization of XoopsTree which saves additional SQL queries on sites with many categories.

The new presentation features include a new Halloween theme, and the capability to create your own design for the admin area.
