SiteServer CMS is a CMS content management system positioned in the mid-to-high-end market. It can build a fully functional, high-performance, and large-scale website platform in the shortest time with the lowest cost and minimum human investment.

On February 1, 2018, SiteServer CMS officially announced the release of the full V6.0 preview version. This is another masterpiece ten months after SiteServer CMS announced its open source and launched V5.0 in May 2017. V6.0 is officially called "the most disruptive SiteServer CMS to date."

Release method and upgrade

Different from the previous version release, this time V6.0 was not released to the public in the form of BETA version, but chose to be released to some users in the form of preview version. This is mainly due to two considerations:

1. V6.0 is still in the internal testing stage and needs further testing and improvement.

2. V6.0 adds a new "one-click upgrade" function, which can keep the entire system up to date, similar to Apple's IOS system. This means that users who are currently using the V6.0 preview version can directly and seamlessly upgrade to the V6.0 official version in the future.

For users who are already using SiteServer CMS 5.0 and earlier, they cannot directly upgrade to the V6.0 preview version this time. They need to wait for the official release of SiteServer CMS V6.0 and then upgrade according to the official announced upgrade plan.

Main updates

In the V6.0 released this time, the official has made major improvements to the SiteServer CMS architecture, secondary development methods, and backend UI interface. Especially, it has made breakthroughs in the upgrade method. It adopts a one-click upgrade method, allowing Upgrading is smoother. The biggest change should be in the "plug-in" aspect, changing all the original "backend functions" into plug-in mode, making them truly pluggable, laying a solid foundation for joint development and the establishment of a development community. Here is a detailed introduction to the changes brought to us by V6.0.

1. Prioritize architecture rewriting plug-ins

In versions prior to SiteServer CMS 6.0, in order to meet various needs, various functions were integrated in the product backend to implement these applications. But the disadvantage is that many functions are not used in most cases, which leads to a decrease in system performance, a decrease in security, and a greatly increased system instability.

The V6.0 released this time will make all the original "backend functions" plug-in, and will use plug-in mode to implement website applications, making it truly pluggable. Users can decide to install and use different plug-ins according to their own needs. With the help of SiteServer CMS template and plug-in mechanism, you can configure SiteServer CMS into almost any type of site. With the plug-in mechanism, using SiteServer CMS is not just a simple website management platform, but also an extremely powerful CMS content management platform with unlimited scalability.

2. Stable core functions

The core functions and code of SiteServer CMS 6.0 released this time are a stable, enterprise-level system focused on content management. For most users, the core functions of SiteServer CMS are sufficient for website construction without the use of plug-ins, and they can obtain a good user experience and excellent system performance. The core functions of SiteServer CMS include site management, column management, content management, template management, static page generation and other basic and core functions of CMS.

3. One-click upgrade bug killing

In versions prior to SiteServer CMS 6.0, users who wanted to upgrade from one version to another had to manually download the upgrade package for upgrade, which was not only troublesome, but also often encountered various problems during the manual upgrade process. This situation will not occur after V6.0. The new product adds a "one-click upgrade" function in the background. Users only need to click the upgrade button to update the system to the latest version. Users do not have to wait for a certain function. Release of next version.

Precisely because of the one-click upgrade function, if bugs are found in new products, they will be solved as soon as possible, and then upgrade packages will be released regularly (once a month), thereby improving the stability and security of the system, and also greatly improving the stability and security of the system. Improve user experience.

4. Brand new backend UI interface

After a lapse of three years, the official purchased a set of "new clothes" for SiteServer CMS, and at the same time reorganized and optimized the system menu, with the purpose of giving users a better operating experience when operating in the background.

Brand new interface: This set of "new clothes" has a fresh interface, standardized and reasonable layout, and conforms to modern backend UI interface design specifications.

Menu reorganization: In addition to the update of the interface style, the system menu has also been greatly adjusted to make the menu combination more reasonable, convenient and user-friendly. This also improves user experience from another level.

5. Rich and high-quality templates for one-click installation

Templates are an indispensable part of building a complete CMS ecosystem. "Making exquisite templates and setting industry benchmarks" has always been the goal pursued by SiteServer CMS. Currently, SiteServer CMS provides users with dozens of new sets of high-quality responsive free website templates, and will continue to release new templates regularly in the future.

Continuous publishing: Keep publishing new templates every week.

High-quality responsive: Ensure that each set of templates is high-quality, responsive templates.

One-click installation in the background: All templates can be viewed in real time in the new product background and can be installed and used with one click.

These templates can be downloaded, installed and used through the V6.0 background with one click. For more templates, you can browse the official template center.

We hope that the release of the V6.0 preview version will bring users a more convenient, efficient and secure website management experience. We also look forward to the continuous innovation of SiteServer CMS in the future to provide users with better services.
