PHPFusion 7.03.00 Announcement

Hello everyone!

It may seem that not much have been going on since the latest site updates.
With this announcement I want you to know that we have decided to release a Major version between PHPFusion 7 and PHPFusion 8.

The master on Github have received over 140 updates provided by our fine Developers that helps us to improve PHPFusion.

We have taken the base of these patches and build the next version of PHPFusion on that.
In the changelog below you will see that we have added quite a few missing key features that we want to have in both PHPFusion 7 and PHPFusion 8.

The RC 1 of this will be distributed to our Developers in the coming days ahead.

Meanwhile I am pleased to show you the changelog we have for this version,

Introducing SEO - A fully integrated comprehensive SEO engine for PHPFusion with it´s Administration.
Introducing Multilingual Features - PHPFusion have from this day forth a full core support for Multilingual content together with several relevant API´s that have been developed for smooth and easy implementations for your Infusions and for it´s settings.
Multilingual support have been implemented in all native Infusions.
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.
Introducing Tokens - We now inject Tokens to forms in order to prevent both bots and hacking attempts.
Introducing the Fusion Defender - More info later.
Introducing the Fusion Dynamics - More info later.
Introducing a new Default and responsive Theme we ship with the pack - Septenary Theme.
Administration - New Layout , New images.
Introducing customized error messages with the help of error.php and .htaccess - We use localized text and images for the error reporting of the following HTTP errors,
ErrorDocument 400, ErrorDocument 401, ErrorDocument 403, ErrorDocument 404, ErrorDocument 500
The .htaccess might need full paths such as /home/error.php?404 or even domain http://www.yourdomain.com/error.php?404 for the reporting to work.
Introducing Email templates - You can now have customized emails sent for Contact, Notification PM , Notification threads.
Added locale files for errors in all admin pages.

Improved Panel Administration, We wanted to make it more interesting - Panel Admin is now more visual.
Two new panel positions have been made available, AU_CENTER ( Above upper center ) and BL_CENTER (Below Lower Center).
The idea is to enable two extra panel positions that have full theme width like subheader and footer while these positions can be populated with panel content like any other panel position via the Panel Administration.
Panels can also be enabled for only a few selected languages or all enabled languages.
