The road to SilverStripe 2.1 is well on its way now! You can now download the SilverStripe v2.1 release candidate 1. We'd love for people to download it and give us feedback! Your feedback, suggestions and bug reports are to integral to our process of ensuring a stable release is just that: stable.
Aside from hundreds of incremental fixes, much of the benefit of the 2.1 release is under the hood and relies on updating our documentation. So, between now and the stable 2.1 release, Andrew is now working on documenting all the great new stuff, which includes;
- Support for the blog module which also about to be released.
- Secure-page support, thanks to Markus from Google Summer of Code
- Changes to the core that improve how themes can be built and managed, with a set of exciting and innovative conventions that will make your life building sites a whole lot more enjoyable.
- The introduction of widgets, small useful pieces of code to use on your site (documentation)
We also sneaked in one of my favourite contributions by Elijah Lofgren, which was the Save and Publish button in one:
Keep coming back as we detail more of the great stuff that is making the SilverStripe 2.1 release!

Thanks Jackbook, your input is helpful.
The forum link appears twice on this page:

1. Good points; although SilverStripe is a framework and it easy for you manually add whatever you want, we could make it easier to have these conventional fields shown, to make life easier.
2. I take what you mean here as "If I have wordpress currently, I might have a permalink such as jackbook.com/xyz123. When I install SilverStripe I'd like to preserve these. Good idea, and we'd love for you to add a forum thread at Feature Requests, where you can detail the syntax/format of the various blog systems out there. We can then decide whether to make this an out of the box feature, or document an easy way for you to manually set this up. In general, however, you do have very flexible control over your URLs in SilverStripe; you can enter them directly into the CMS - see demo.silverstripe.com"
3. metadata being automatically generated seems to be useful only in a few situations. For instance, silverstripe.com doesn't have much meta data however is ranked highly, by having interesting and sought content on its pages, plus having links from various high profile sites. This is a better strategy than trying to create metadata better than google's team

oh and where is the forum register link?
i think i'll just submit my comment here.
1. i need email and url feed on the comment form. that is important in this cms world.
2. i need a free access to set up a permalink.
if i migrate from blogger or wordpress or anything else. i need to create a same permalink format as my permalink format before. so i won;t loose my search engine position. and people won;t get 404 page while coming from people who linked to me.
3. i need to my cms to create all the metadata automatically.
but it is good to have it customizable.
i think you need to learn from wordpress.org much.
thanks,
i love silverstripe. i must admit that it loads very fast. that is great. i think you have a change to compete wordpress and blogger with this your fast loads and publicity from popular site. plus google summer code.
great work guys!
