v0.9.0: Version 0.9.0

First official release of CMS.

History

More than two years have passed since we started developing CMS, and more than one since we opened the code to the public. Up to now, we worked on CMS with a continuous development model, without official releases and version numbers. This model has been good during this period in which we personally interacted with almost all people using CMS, but now we feel the need to offer more stability guarantees.

The culminating point of these two years has been the IOI 2012, were CMS has been successfully used. Obvious reasons forced us to develop some parts of CMS in private for a short period of time. The introduced changes have been merged to the public repository and are included in version 0.9.0.

Future development

We plan to release soon version 1.0.0 with no big new features but mostly to fix the user experience: adding documentation, expected behavior, sensible error messages, and so on.

After version 1.0.0, we would like to introduce several new features (for developers, contest admins, and contestants). We encourage everybody interested in participating to the discussion in the mailing list and on github.
