WordPress
WordPress blogs around the world began to receive an automatic security update late on April 8 to fix security vulnerabilities. The WordPress 3.8.2 and 3.7.2 updates each provide five security fixes, as well as multiple non-security bug updates.
The next major release of the widely deployed open source WordPress blogging and content management system software is continuing to mature. The WordPress 3.9 beta 2 is now available, providing a long list of changes. The WordPress 3.8 release debuted back in December of 2013.
Drupal
Opensource.com community manager Jason Hibbets interviewed Angie Byron, a Drupal core co-maintainer, about the latest version of this open source content management system.
Expect a larger portion of software innovation to come from the world of open source in the future, says Dries Buytaert, original creator of Drupal and co-founder of Acquia. While open source once drew its appeal from being free, now it’s the quality of the software projects — which draw on the skills of huge numbers of contributors — that attracts businesses and developers to use it, he said.
Misc.
Jahia, leading open source vendor today announced the GA availability of its new platform Jahia 7, introducing powerful Distributed Development features, Private App Stores to re-use and distribute components securely with a new OSGi integration to enable the Digital Industrialization era.
It’s this kind of collaborative environment that fosters creativity and innovation among today’s programmers—more and more of whom are leveraging best-of-breed solutions while freeing themselves of the constraints of closed-source solutions and traditional open source CMSs.
