Pligg has just released beta version 9.5 on SourceForge. The developers decided that “most features from this point on should be added through the semi-new module system which lets you plugin your own code without messing with the core of Pligg. This doesn’t mean that the development of Pligg will slow, in fact we expect the opposite.”

Among the new features there are major database query enhancements, vote counts shown in the sidebar, custom 404 pages, the ability for users to save or bookmark any stories they want, and many others. Template Lite has been upgraded to version 2.10, and ezSQL to version 2.03.

A few new modules are also available, along with improvements in the admin interface. For further details, please read the release announcement.
