Minor versions 2.3.1, 2.3.2 etc. are mostly bug fix versions and may add some very small new features.

History of changes from 2.1.x to 2.2.x:

  • JavaScript-based HTMLArea has replaced the Campfire Java editor, ending Campsite's reliance on the Java VM plugin and bringing all sorts of enhancements, including full what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG).

  • a streamlined and beautified user interface

  • improved management of multiple instances of Campsite on a single server (new instances can be created without reinstalling Campsite)

  • Automatic publishing/removal of selected articles without human intervention at a specified date and time

  • Article ordering

  • New handling of Images (and other Multimedia)

  • Publication site aliases: aliases allow Campsite to identify a publication based on multiple domain names
