Some progress on the next release
Sorry for taking so long on the next beta release, but I've been working on a heavy rewrite of the software. Most of the databases have been restructured, and it's been a PITA to rewrite the code to handle it, but hopefully with great change comes great extensibility, namely adding user groups and page-editing permissions to go with them. Of course, I still need to figure out how to get permissions for other bits, like theme and template editing, but so far things are looking good.

I still need to rewrite the administration side, as well as adding a few more minor things that are more easily tested once I actually have the administration system done. I'm probably also going to redo the Admin CP theme to be a bit more "plain" (and therefore easier on the eyes, hopefully).

I do have to say I <3 how the installation code required not one line of changed code to handle the new changes. Just redefine the tables in inc/data/tables.php and the default data in inc/data/defaults.php and poof, installation works fine! The upgrade code didn't fare so well, though. You're gonna have to wipe and reinstall to upgrade. That is exactly why I warned people not to use in a production environment yet.
