Happy (Chinese) New Year everyone. Team Mambo welcomes the Year of the Dog (loyal, hardworking and true!) with this update on development.

Currently under development is version 4.6 of the award winning Mambo Open Source Content Management System. Version 4.6 is a minor version release, Mambo’s first in well over a year (the last was 4.5). While the system does include some new features, the real revolution is in the underlying code base where a major overhaul of the code results in a leaner, faster Mambo with improved performance and stability.

Internal testing is being done now, with the first 4.6 release candidate expected in mid-February. Once feedback from testing is received, the team will work towards a final release of 4.6. The earliest reasonable date for a final release would be the end of February, but until RC1 is out in the wild, it is impossible to commit to a firm date with any confidence.

What should you expect from 4.6?
