[squeak-dev] [ANN] Pier 1.1

Tudor Girba-3
Hi,

Release 1.1 of Pier is now available:
www.piercms.com/install

What's new:
- Several bug fixes
- New syntax constructs
- New and whiter stylesheet
- Pharo inside

www.piercms.com also received a face lift, and it received some new  
documentation.

Have fun and tell us what you think.

Doru and Lukas

Nice logo!

The front page of piercms.com states that Pier is "free as in beer", a  
phrase that means "gratis" as opposed to "libre".  However, since Pier  
is under the MIT license, it is also "free as in freedom".  Some might  
find this confusing; I did.

Cheers,
Josh

I tripped over the exact same thing. "Free as in beer" is commonly  
used to refer to closed-source freeware (or even adware etc.). And  
nothing on the front page clarifies the license, so if someone saw  
this for the first time they would mistake it for something  
proprietary. My first thought was "oh, they changed the license?"  
Which of course is the opposite of reality, being MIT-licensed makes  
Pier more liberal than most other open-source projects.

Home page looks good but www.piercms.com/install brings up an error (404?) for me:
The requested object <code>/seaside/install</code> was not found on this server.
Using FF 3.0.6
