Hola a tod@s

Partiendo de las experiencias adquiridas tras el lanzamiento de la versión 0.75 de PostNuke y con el fin de facilitar y mejorar el transito a la futura y esperada versión 0.8, la cual esta prevista para la segunda mitad del año próximo, se prepara el lanzamiento de PostNuke 0.760
First of all merry christmas to you all from the PostNuke teams, we hope this announcement will bring some extra joy to some of you

We have decided to release another version of PostNuke bringing us another step closer to .8 which we hope will be released the second half of next year or maybe sooner. The work covered in this release and in the .75 release is really a very large step on the way.

Some new functionality, module updates, and changes made for the .8 release have been incorporated in the .75 code base and wanted to provide these improvements to the users. Internal testing of a alfa version is being performed by the developers during christmas time. We look forward into giving you all a look at the code in the new year. The new version is already in the CVS, so with a little work you should be able to get it already, but its not considered near stable just yet.

Over the recent months one of the biggest issues has been about HTML compliance and seperating the code from the presentation layer and there has been some effort in this area we wanted to share too.
