Great news !

Congratulation for the ImpressCMS Team and all supporters of the project. The support of OpenID is a real plus compared to Xoops and the manager of integrated page. In short, keep your work is in effect.

Excellente nouvelle !

Félicitation aux développeurs du projet et aux supporters de celui-ci. Le support de l'OpenID est un vrai plus comparativement à Xoops ainsi que le gestionnaire de page intégré. Bref, continuez votre travail dans se sens.

 Re: Quick version.php patch
Hi everyone,

In all the hardwork that was needed to deliver you this amazing release, a small thing slipped through our hands! The version.php file in htdocs/include/ was not updated to reflect "ImpressCMS 1.1 Final" and was still showing "ImpressCMS 1.1 RC 3".

All the packages were made again and uploaded on SF. For those who already downloaded it, you can get the only changed file here:

- impresscms_1.1_final_version_patch.zip

Simply upload htdocs/include/version.php to yoursite.com/include/

Sorry for any inconvenience!

We hope you enjoy ImpressCMS 1.1 Final !

hi icms community,

this final of the Impress(ive)CMS looks not only very nice! also his administration is very clear! a great THX to all of the community for these release!

BTW: the upgrade from my earlier version (1.02) was very difficult.
Also i had made a backup from my db, then cleared my ROOT, input the data (like an new-install), then install the CMS to all work fine, and then i´ve restored the dump > then in the admin of ICMS updates the system-module, done! the only small problem is now, re-install the modules... but with them i can live ;-)
