[ANNOUNCE] Krang v2.008 Released

[Sam Tregar <sa...@tregar.com>]

Krang v2.008 is now available (the source release is up now and binary
builds should be up soon).  Notable changes in this release:

     * Improved password security.  Password policy is now configurable
       and extensible by addons. [Michael Peters]

     * Added several new configuration options which allow Krang
       instances to run on separate IPs and have different SSL
       configurations. [Sam]

     * Added a new option for addons, DataSetClasses. This allows
       addons to extend Krang::DataSet and include new objects in KDS
       files. [Sam]

     * Implemented a system of universally-unique identifiers (UUIDs)
       for Krang objects.  This allows updates between machines to propagate
       changes correctly even when keys have changed. [Sam]

     * Several bugs were fixed.

Krang is an Open Source web-publisher / content-management system
designed for large-scale magazine-style websites.  It is a 100% Perl
application using Apache/mod_perl and MySQL, as well as numerous CPAN
modules.

Krang provides a powerful and easy to use story and media editing
environment for website editors, as well as a complete template
development environment for web designers. On the back-end, Perl
programmers can customize Krang to control the data entered in the
story editor and add code to drive the templates to build output.
Krang can be enhanced with add-ons containing new skins and other new
features.  Krang easily handles large data sets and can manage
multiple websites in a single installation.
