PivotX 2.0 Alpha 1 released

meta info

Sunday Nov 25 2007

The PivotX team have just released a first Alpha release of PivotX, the weblog tool formerly known as Pivot and the engine that powers this website. While I wouldn't recommend running it in production yet (it's an Alpha release after all) it looks extremely promising and I'll definitely be migrating this website to it when the first Beta release comes out.

PivotX admin interface

PivotX sports some mighty great features such as:

A very powerful but yet easy to use templating engine
Both MySQL and flat-file database engine
Extremely impressive image management and editing capabilities
A solid static pages mechanism
Powerful anti-spam features
Powerful and easy to develop for plugin architecture

Definitely absolutely no reason for me to switch to any other CMS. Well done Pivot X team!

Check out PivotX.
