About ImpressCMS 2

The upcoming ImpressCMS 2.0 release will be a big step from the most recent 1.4.6 version. It contains the result of lots of code cleanups and evolutions, even though the base architecture is still based on IPF.

Going towards the final release, our aim is to bring faster intermittent releases, in order to get feedback sooner on as many as possible environments.

Upgrade path

One of the bigger challenges will be to have a rock-solid upgrade path from previous versions, given our promise that the migration from ImpressCMS 1 to ImpressCMS 2 should be possible without necessitating a rebuild of your site. Module compatibility will be a major point here as well
