WordPress 3.0ā€œTheloniousā€ Available

Posted by admin under internet, news - 1 Comment

The latest stable release of WordPress (Version 3.0) is available.

Major new features in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies. (Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.) Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited merge of MU and WordPress, creating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation.

The 1.3 final version of PrestaShop is considered as being the most accomplished, stable and professional published until now.

PrestaShop is now published in three languages: English, Spanish and French.

In terms of technical sophistication, the MySQL performances have been optimized, as well as its template engine based on Smarty. Significant corrections have been made to the prices and taxes system.
Alongside these improvements, a number of important new features have been added to the solution, bringing to more than 200 the number of technical, functional and graphical possibilities of a PrestaShop based e-shop. In addition to these features, extensions are available on the official marketplace of PrestaShop, PrestaStore, whose catalog now offers nearly 700 modules and themes.
“Our goal is to continuously enrich PrestaShop to provide online merchants with an e-commerce software ever more complete, functional and suitable to their needs, while respecting their constraints.

Windows 8 Release Expected in 2012

Posted by admin under internet, news, technology - No Comments

Windows 8 will be with us in 2012, according to Microsoft roadmaps apparently revealed at last week’s Professional Developers’ Conference (PDC).

Although Microsoft has yet to officially discuss plans for Windows 8, a 2012 release would be consistent with previous Microsoft pledges to release a new desktop operating system every three years. Windows 7 was released a month ago.

The latest speculation suggesting a 2012 release has been credited to Microsoft Kitchen, a blog with the tagline “Serving up some seriously tasty Microsoft.”

Despite showing roadmaps apparently picked up at PDC, the blog has little else to reveal about Windows 8.

However, a Microsoft employee may have inadvertently spilled the beans on one key Windows 8 feature last month.

Microsoft employee Robert Morgan appeared to detail the software giant’s plans to make a 128-bit version of Windows 8, and even Windows 9, on LinkedIn, where he listed his job as ‘senior research and development’. His profile, which has now been removed from the business networking site, said Morgan was “working in high security department for research and development involving strategic planning for medium and longterm projects”.

It went on to reveal that his R&D projects included: “128-bit architecture compatibility with the Windows 8 kernel and Windows 9 project plan”. He’s also responsible for “forming relationships with major partners: Intel, AMD, HP and IBM”.

Microsoft is also looking for employees to help shape Windows 8, according to reports online. Neowin.net spotted the vacancy for a Windows 7 software engineer on Microsoft’s site.

“We just finished up work on Windows 7, and are pushing forth on Windows 8 planning and preparation,” said the blurb in the job ad, which was replicated on the CodenameWindows website.

“As part of this team, you will help shape Windows 8. Components of our code include a core agent that runs as an NT service, an API layer and a UI application,” added the advert. (Via PC Advisor)
