When PHPFusion v8 RC1

Quote

There are still bugs in basic functionality and many of the add-ons in the add-on DB are old, outdated, and don't work (or work well) with the newer v7 versions.

It's hard to argue against Wordpress, Drupal, or Joomla. It's hard to push a great CMS when development is sluggish at best.

Introducing SEO - A fully integrated and comprehensive SEO engine for PHPFusion with it´s own Administration.

Introducing PDO Functions - PHPFusion can now run with full PDO support.
PDO provides a data-access abstraction layer, which means that, regardless of which database you're using, you use the same functions to issue queries and fetch data.
PDO does not provide a database abstraction; it doesn't rewrite SQL or emulate missing features.
The PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension defines a light-weight, consistent interface for accessing databases in PHP.
Each database driver that implements the PDO interface can expose database-specific features as regular extension functions.
