Open Source Content Management System Mambo has announced the release of version 4.6. The new version is the first major release in almost two years and establishes the fork caused by a rift in the development team which led to the creation of rival open source system Joomla.

• Announcements

Version 4.6 is being released in two configurations: 4.6 Complete includes the core system as well as an assortment of the most popular extensions and templates. 4.6 Lite is a minimalist distro comprised of only the core files.

Core Dev Team Leader Chad Auld noted:

"A lot of work has gone into 4.6. The result is better code, improved usability, and more logical structure. 4.6 is not only the most stable, best performing Mambo ever, but is also the most flexible."

Ric Shreves, the President of the Mambo Foundation Board of Directors added:

"Mambo is a mature Open Source project with a significant history behind it. Corporate and SMB customers will, I think, find 4.6 to be a giant step closer to the sort of CMS product they want and need.  Not only is the product great, but the users also have the assurance of a stable project that stands behind it to assure business continuity and coherent release schedules; the sort of issues that promote business confidence in an Open Source solution."
