The new version of SilverStripe is released today for download. There are thousands of updates in place and it should be interesting to take it for a test drive.
I’ve never been a big user of SilverStripe CMS but I did dabble with it last year. What I saw of it, I really liked although Expression Engine caught my attention much more. That was mainly down to the fact I could install and configure EE on IIS whereas SilverStripe was more problematic.
I ended up installing it on my local WAMP server and had a play around, I didn’t try any advanced functionality but the simplicity of creating pages etc was excellent.
This new version has a number of new features I’m interested in playing with. Most of all the forms module. Developing an online form can sometimes be cumbersome, not so much the form itself but then the action on submit and the validation. The SilverStripe forms module looks to make that hassle a thing of the past.
I doubt that SilverStrip will ever replace EE for me (I can’t wait until v2 comes out in the next month or so)
