Performances
A quick benchmark between 1.6 and
1.5.14:
22% lighter
Similar just after the installation process
extremely faster with lots of concurrent
requests ( 100 requests = 11% faster )
Components
Native components support nested
categories ( ie. Weblinks )
A new ”Redirects” component
Nested category integration, in 3 party
rd
developers extensions, will be easier
Templates
Possibility to edit the 404 page on-the-
fly
Possibility to save different parameters
cnfiguration of the same template
Extensions manager
A new error reporting system
A new extension installer on-the-
fly
Integrated updater
That's it!
