Midgard 1.6.0rc2 "Night Boat" released.

Lodz, October 19th 2004 -- The Midgard Project has released the second release candidate 
version of the latest 1.6 Midgard Open Source Content Management Framework.

Midgard provides a reliable CMS framework build on top of the LAMP
platform. Midgard's core features include internationalization,
accessibility, scalability and PHP connectivity.


Major features included in this release:

  * Multilang support 
  * PAM support
  * Apache2 module

  Multilang feature is now easy to use with the new midgard-data package
which allows to create or update databases very easily even for Midgard
beginners.This feature makes Midgard more flexible as it separates metadata 
from the current language of objects.

Both modules has caching facilities which increase performance and reduce 
requests time. 
These modules have also abilities to work as old apache module which is 
now deprecated and no more supported.

  Midgard-data provides latest Midgard Component Framework - "MidCOM" , 
and its over twenty ready to use components. User-friendly "Aegir" and admin 
interface "Spider" are also included in midgard-data. All Midgard
applications may be easy imported to database with new tool "datagard"
included in this package. Midgard-data also provides YAMP scripts.
