Golem.de berichtet über die Veröffentlichung der ersten beta-Version des OpenSource-CMS Drupal in Version 5.

Das freie Content-Management-System (CMS) liegt nun in einer ersten Beta der Version 5.0 vor. Damit enthält das CMS einen webbasierten Installer und einen überarbeiteten Administrationsbereich. Drupal integriert außerdem die JavaScript-Bibliothek jQuery, die nun von allen JavaScript-Teilen innerhalb des Systems verwendet wird.

Ein übersichtlicheres Administrationspanel, unterschiedliche Cache-Backendes und selbstvervollständige Formulare für die Benutzerprofile sind nur einige der neuen features von Drupal 5.0 beta 1
