b2evolution version 5.1.0-beta has been released!

Download & Upgrade instructions here »

The general focus of this 5.1 release is to add the features we felt were missing in 5.0 that did not require deep changes to the 5.0 code and DB structure. We have been working heavily on version 6.0 in parallel.

Among quite a few new features, here are some highlights:

• Site-wide header & footer support allowing you to even quicklier build complex multi-collection sites than before. We are using this on b2evolution.net.
• Photo Albums Skin
• Goal Categories for your server side analytics
• Redesigned login screens based on twitter bootstrap (more bootstrap use to come in the next release)
• Additions and improvements to existing antispam tools
• Many small user requests

There will still be some more additions in the stable 5.1 release. If the one feature you've been desperately waiting for isn't in this beta, now is a good time to remind us! ;)
