Faster & Lower Memory requirements

The refactoring in the ImpressCMS 1.3 release has resulted in major improvements: less memory use, speedier page loads and less SQL queries per page, making it the fastest and nimblest ImpressCMS to date.

Fully PHP 5.3 compatible

The structure of the code has seen a major overhaul, in order to comply with the current best practices for PHP5. This makes the code easier to write, and easier to maintain.

Facilitated module development

By using the automatic inclusion of required files, module developers can think about improving their module, and not about handling file administration.

Smarty Resizer now uses a more secure folder structure

What else do I need?

This release of ImpressCMS officially supports PHP 5.3.x. With this release, we are moving farther into only supporting stable versions of PHP5. The current stable release of PHP is 5.2.11 and 5.2.7 has been removed from distribution because of several critical flaws.

PHP: 5.2.0+ (5.2.7 is NOT recommended, and 5.3.0+ is now officially supported)
MySQL: MySQL server 4.1.0+ - With UTF-8 Support
Web server: Any server supporting the required PHP version (Apache highly recommended).
Special characters require UTF-8 support from hosting providers.
