The modularization of Melody's code base continues as we continue our efforts to break its monstrous code base into more manageable components. In the future this will allow to more rapidly iterate on improvements we want to make, and allow users to dramatically reduce the size of their installation be eliminating components they do not need or use.
The project to eliminate the highly proprietary javascript framework called TypeCore, and replace it with jQuery is underway. We are a release or two from completely severing the tie, but it good to see work started.
The Atom Publishing Protocol implementation has been upgraded to be more standard compliant and has been tested to work with the popular blogging client Mars Edit.
We continue to back port popular features from MT5 into Melody, like the awesome listing framework developed by Six Apart. We have even made and shared back improvements to their implementation by overhauling the system's javascript.
We have dramatically enhanced dashboard widget management and made numerous other improvements to the UI's polish.
CMS Critic recently published an interview with myself about the current state and future of Melody.
Endevver recently gave a sneak peak of a new user interface for Melody it has been incubating.
This version introduces a broad range of bug fixed and improvements from the previous version, open melody v1.0 beta 3.
Among the improvements, I would like to mention the jQuery upgrade to v1.5, the upgrade of Config Assistant to the latest version, comment performance optimization.
The application has also been cleaned up from some dead features, such as the Vox authentification method.

It's a pleasure for me to announce that Melody v1.0-beta 1 has been launched a few hours ago and it is now available for evaluation here!
This version is known also as v0.9.27 and what is very nice of it is the fact that it opens the road for v1.0.
I must confess that I tend to like the new admin interface which changes significantly.
Playing a little bit with the DePoClean theme I've enjoyed the theme settings and some other features that have been integrated in this product.
Take a look at it and let me know what you think!
