Experimental releases

Upcoming and alpha/beta/candidate releases

  • Alpha releases should only be used for testing and development.
  • Beta releases and Release Candidates are normally released for production testing, but should not be used on mission-critical sites.
  • Always install on a separate test server first, and make sure you have proper backups before installing.

Release roadmap for Press Room…

Press Room 3.2 (Beta release 2) Released Aug 21, 2008
For more efficient storage of Press Releases and Press Clips, we've moved to using Large Plone Folders.
Press Room 3.3 (Unreleased)
I'd like to focus on making it possible for non-managers to add content in this release, and to eggify it.
