ExpressionEngine 2.0 Public Release

Christmas comes early today with the much-anticipated public release of ExpressionEngine 2.0. The new release is built on top of CodeIgniter, EllisLab’s open-source PHP framework. The two communities combine to supercharge an already hot app. DesignKarma has been involved in beta testing the new version, and had an extensive preview recently at EECI2009 in Holland. Very impressive it is too. Clients will love the new improved control panel and more sophisticated publish screens. The existing 1.6.x tree will continue to be used and supported by the EE community whilst 2.0 beds in, but DesignKarma will be developing a new 2.0-powered website in the New Year. Watch this space.
