Dear All,

I am pleased to announce that we have just released Campsite 2.5 "Eli".
Despite the short development period, we (Mugur and Paul) have managed to
produce a significant new upgrade (and to give it a much more thorough
testing, shooting some 40-odd bugs, most of them leftovers from the 2.4
branch).

The major new features are:

* Contributors can now file articles without needing to learn the
site's publication/issue/section hierarchy (until they are moved there
they are in the Pending Articles "basket").
* Articles (Article Types) can now be set up to include dropdown
fields featuring select categories (Topics).
* Topics can now be translated and the Topics screen has undergone a
serious usability redesign (for the first time, you don't need to preface
a Campsite topic tour with an "ahem, well, this is a great feature,
but..."
* Articles can now be moved across sections (previously we had the
ability to copy but not move).
* The Home page has a new layout to accommodate more detailed
information and an increasing number of views of the workflow. It now
displays publication/issue/section for all articles
* The subscribtion feature has been further refined to allow for
subscriptions by language (e.g. access to the Sports section can be
controlled or billed for separately for English and Spanish readers);
* The template language now features a statement that automatically
extracts the first paragraph of the story (Article).

The more exhaustive list can be found at the usual address (http://www.campware.org),

As usual, we are looking forward to your feedback and bug reports. Please
let us know what you think about the Pending Articles and the new Home
page layout.

So enjoy it, it's yours to discover.
