news around LEPTON

After nearly one year of coding we are happy to release LEPTON 4.0.0 as Stable Version today.

This release is an extensive improvement for LEPTON and a great step forward in OOP. Mostly addon authors will benefit from core improvements.

But the improvement also had one disadvantage: addons, that are not delivered with the package, had to be adapted to LEPTON 4 series, but this is not a big deal at all. If you need some help please use the forum.

Some addons already have been updated or reworked (like mpform) and are available for LEPTON 4series on LEPAdoR.

LEPTON runs with latest php release 7.2.9 ( minimum php 7.0)

We moved repository from github to gitlab.

What is done in LEPTON 4.0.0?

Here is a (non-complete) list of changes, see changelog for details:
