Reason Content Management System

Reason 4.1 was officially released today. The new version contains improvements to the image content manager, administrative interface enhancements coded at the Reason HackDoc in December 2011, several new modules, and tons of bug fixes. We are also pleased to launch a new User Documentation site.

It has been a busy winter for Reason CMS. On December 5 and 6, we held the first Reason hack/doc here at Carleton. We've also presented sessions featuring Reason CMS at both the HighEdWeb conference and at Case V. In February, we'll share Reason with Minnesota schools at GusDay 2012.

The Reason LiveCD has been updated to the latest release (4.0).

The updated LiveCD is based on OpenSUSE 11.4, and the Reason CMS source is a clone of reason_package @ GitHub.
