EE 2.0.1 is Out, Did you Miss It?

EE 2.0 Beta, 30 days in

Happy New Years!

I’m writing this update from an undisclosed warm weather location where Rick Ellis, Derek Jones, and I are convening to plan out the next year. Yes, its our annual World Domination Summit. There is energy and excitement in the air (along with the promise of good Brazilian BBQ). We think 2010 is going to be special, but let’s start by reviewing what’s happened in the last 30 days.

Let’s start this update by welcoming Jamie Rumbelow to the EllisLab Team. If you spend...

ExpressionEngine 2.0 Public Beta Trial and Zend Optimizer

A number of people are reporting problems running the free 30-day trial version of ExpressionEngine 2.0 Public Beta.  Some of the issues are of course with minor bugs in the beta itself, many of which were fixed in the 20091204 build.
