Icy Phoenix 1.0.11.11 Release Candidate
-----------------------------------
Hi all,
I'm proud to announce the first Release Candidate of Icy Phoenix.

What's new in respect to latest beta.
[list][*]All template files reviewed and improved W3C compliance. Most important pages are now fully W3C compliant.
[*]Reduced the SQL charge on all the pages.
[*]Dropped the main IP config table and merged with standard config table.
[*]Blocks lang files removed and merged into one single file (thanks [b]brandsrus[/b]).
[*]Overall code cleaning and optimization.
[*]Written some docs.
[*]Completed the CMS Menu System.
[*]Added some check while registering.
[*]Caching of some extra SQL for improving speed.
[*]Added extra switches and constants.
[*]Splitted some lang files to help customizations.[/list]

Bugs fixed:
[list][*]Custom profile fields while registering.
[*]Wrong BBCode parsing under certain conditions.
[*]Wrong caching instructions.
[*]Some bugs in CMS.
[*]Extended config double db insertion.
[*]Wrong html headers.
[*]Missing CSS definitions.
[*]Fixed wrong sessions handling.
[*]Many small bugs.[/list]

This package should be quite stable: I'm testing it on 4 different sites since a couple of weeks, and as for now I didn't notice any major issue.

I've compared the new performances with the old versions and with some competitors... I won't go further into results and names... but I'm quite happy with all the good results achieved by Icy Phoenix. I've also installed phpBB 3 on a test site (since yesterday night in phpBB 3 CVS there is the new proSilver template!) to check performances, and phpBB 3 is really fast respect to Icy Phoenix... but on the other side it has less features. :wink:

Anyway I'm still working on performances and I hope to have something a bit faster before going final... in the meantime, try Fast And Furious settings in ACP... :wink:

As I have promised I have written some docs to help users in understanding Icy Phoenix and in installing and upgrading their sites.

Here you'll have some of them:
