Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to announce the release of Enano 1.0, lovingly known to the devs as Banshee, to the general public. We won't bore you with details this time; if you want that stuff, check out the release notes. Instead we'll give you some fun facts...
Update: There was a typo in template.php that slipped through, it prevented (of all things) the Powered By Enano CMS sidebar button from working. The tarballs have been updated. Oops.
- When uncompressed, Enano contains 1,762,245 bytes of PHP code
- This amounts to 48,074 lines of code, and that's just the PHP part!
- That code compresses to 298,460 bytes when compacted with bzip2
- The original plan was to release Banshee in early January of this year, a measly four months after development started. You can imagine how quickly that idea disappeared!
- Before Enano was known as Enano, it was called Midget - but we realized the name was already taken! I also came up with Limbo CMS on my own, and - yet again - realized that the Mambo Foundation had already claim
- Enano's codebase as it is now has been in development for over a year. The Mercurial-generated diff between 1.0 beta 1 and 1.0 is 4,189,439 bytes - more than twice as large as the Enano 1.0 distribution files.
- The file that has changed the least since 1.0 beta 1 was, as you can imagine, /enano/GPL. A total of 6 lines have been changed since the initial beta 1 release. The six lines were the bullet points under sections 2 and 3. They were changed from the "•" character to wiki-formatting.
- Enano includes code from phpBB (CAPTCHA algorithm and mass-mailer), MediaWiki (table parser and diff engine) and 8 bytes of code from vBulletin's Javascript runtime.
- Enano's AES encryption code was ported from a reference Rijndael implementation in Javascript. You can imagine how fun that process was!
- Who is Neal? Neal Gompa is one of the members of our team. Mostly he does QA and testing, and we decided to poke fun at him (and Slashdot) by giving him his own spot on the polls.
If you find a bug in Enano 1.0, please report it on the forum. If you find a security issue, please let us know by e-mail! If possible, please send your message encrypted - Dan's public key can be found here.
Have fun with the new release!
