Today we are proud to announce a new release of In-Portal CMS version 5.0!

Let’s take a quick look several years back at the earlier versions of In-Portal so we can better see the contrast between them and what we have now in the In-Portal CMS version 5.0.

Over the past 6 years In-Portal ran on more then three generations of Interfaces and Template systems constantly improving and optimizing it’s architecture and look and feel. While this greatly helped In-Portal to gain in a technical way at the same time this lead to complex and hard to understand interfaces resulting in need for a change in our direction. We have carefully looked around and came up with list of things that needs to be changed and worked on them for a past year and a half.

I’ll list the most important highlights in In-Portal CMS 5.0 below:

1. Fully redesigned Admin Interfaces (icons, menus, grids)

2. Different editing modes for Admin - Modal Windows, Popups or Standard

3. Work with your site in different modes - Browse Mode, Content Mode and Design Mode

4. Major code Refactoring and Template Parser improvements

5. Fully reviewed and enhanced Security on all levels

6. Fully customizable Admin Console Interface with Simple, Advanced and Custom modes

7. More new features for In-Portal Modules

8. New as well as improved old Themes

9. Development Kit with samples for code customizations

10.  Last but one of the most significant changes - In-Portal CMS has become an Open Source project and is now available for everyone to download and use for free!
