A content management system called Xaraya is releasing a newest version, i.e. Core 1.1.4 today. Xaraya is an open source content management system (CMS) that is written entirely in PHP programming language. This version includes several enhancements and improvements, such as New OrderSelect Dynamic Data Property, General XHTML correctness, etc., however it only can be seen as the last version in the branch 1.0 before Xaraya release the upcoming version 2 in this year.

Many of my contacts are using open source CMS in delivering the client projects. Though I found that Xaraya is good especially it supports MySQL, MySQLi, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, among all the other features, but Xaraya is indeed less well-known and much too heavyweight for them and many people I found on the Web preferred Joomla, Drupal, Mambo, phpNUKE, Plone and Typo3. As a consequence, there is very few commercial book that talked about Xaraya. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the deployment and development of Xaraya is low, there is a page prepared by Xaraya that comprised of a long list of all the sites that were built by using Xaraya.
