It’s for real - Umbraco 4 RC2 is out. As we’re approaching the final release date it’s all in the details now. We’re so happy and proud that after three months of intense testing no show-stopper bugs have been found. Umbraco 4 will be the most polished and tested Umbraco release ever and with this release candidate we’re finally revealing how it’ll end up looking – yes, we’re introducing a new consistent scheme:
We’ve also done yet-another massive clean-up in all client markup, images and JavaScript which means even faster load times, cleaner code and compatibility with all modern browsers: Microsoft IE7, Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Sticking with client code we’ve also upgraded jQuery to the just released version 1.3 and after some initial quirks it’s working and screaming.
TinyMCE3 is also integrated beautifully with the new umbraco UI with Link, media and macro handling receiving the final polish and “Send to Translation”, the overlooked feature in Umbraco, finally has its own room plus an improved UI, Workflow and a handful of bug fixes.
Finally the Member section have gone through a well-deserved round of TLC so the Umbraco UI also support creating, editing and deleting members stored in 3rd party systems as well as maintaining Roles.
