Nuke Resources - Mutant Dot Sixty-Four released

Mutant Dot Sixty-Four has been released and is a culmination of some hard work to optimize the PostNuke system before adding the new users system.

The changes are mostly transparent to the release however the performance should be something that most will find appealing. The following list of changes are shown but many have not been mentioned as reported by the author on their site: "I am going to list just a small portion of the changes (mainly because my memory is going, and I can't remember everything we have done in the past month)."

New Language System -- What this means to you is that on a normal pageview instead of your server parsing a 100k file, it is only parsing a 10-20k file and then the specific translations for that page. All the previous translations have to now be re-done. Work has already began on that and there is now 2 language files on SF (German and Thai).

New Admin System -- This goes a very long way to making the modules system a true plugin system, where all you have to do is drop the modules that you want to install in a single folder.

New Install File -- Cleaned the mess that was made with the install file and made it a modular system. It is very fast now, as well as a little nicer to look at, with a little easier directions to follow.

Text Santitizer -- This is a system that myPHPNuke has been using for quite some time. We have integrated it into PostNuke, because quite frankly, it works better than what we were using. With that system, we are also close to having a myPHPNuke upgrade file to being released.

Include_Once problem -- There were some problems with the previous release because we were using include_once commands for our mainfile.php. Fitted with a custom function so the script should now work with all builds of PHP4.

AutoLink enhancements -- This system is now a bit more user friendly, but also takes the place of the article.php key word linking.

Ability of choosing custom start page -- You can now choose the page that you want to be displayed on your index page.

image consolodation -- trimmed images that were no longer used out of the system to make the download of the package a little more reasonable
