Wow! Our development team did a terrific job baking some new releases this week. While Albrecht is enjoying his holidays very much, I can feel the sweat of the team preparing everything for launching in time two releases.

The 5.0 branch got a new release: 5.0.2. It mainly is a bug fix release and marks the last release of the 5.0 branch which will be closed as of today. Just hang over to the release announcement by Franz Graf on phprojekt.com.

As of today, we are proud to announce the release of the first beta version of PHProjekt V5.1. Our Mayflower fellow Nina Schmitt tells: „Our main goal was to further enhance the usability and functionality of PHProject with this new Version, but some new features were added as well“. She points out that we need further tests from the community and report bugs on the bug tracker at our thinkforge.org development forge.
