Town Halls

We've been pretty quiet about what type of changes are going on under the hood in 5.7 until now. Let's just say, quite a bit:

New jQuery 1.x
JS & CSS precedence loading and minifying
New authentication types
New model view controller approach
Namespaced core (PSR-4)
Core & Override directory moving to the same level
Doctrine and steps towards total ORM


Brief show this week! We check out a cool concrete5 version tester, take a look at the community karma leaderboard, quickly tour some new themes & add-ons and wrap it up.


Portland has thawed and we're 99% certain that there will be no new winter storm to impede our live web show-- fingers crossed! Join us live on YouTube at 10:00am Pacific and we'll check in the concrete5.org community, talk about the new5.6.3 release candidate, and everything else!


Alert! Due to the snow storm, we're sad to announce that today's Totally Random has been cancelled. However, we did manage to record our "Great Choice" segment featuring cool new marketplace themes & add-ons. Check it out! Stay warm and see you all next time!

The weather's a little iffy this morning and as you may know it doesn't take much to make things messy in Portland. We'll be back next Friday with a new web show. Until then, stay tuned for a new concrete5.7 preview video later this afternoon!
