History of XOOPS

December 2001 - XOOPS.org registered and site launched

XOOPS : Xoops.org launched!

Posted by onokazu on 2001/12/19 0:40:50 (2425 reads)

In preparation for the upcoming release of XOOPS RC1, we have launched our official website, Xoops.org. We were looking for a server where we do not need to worry about the traffics we would have, and as you can see, this website is backed with a Sourceforge.net server, therefore we are now finally getting ready for our first release candidate (RC1). In the mean time, feel free to play around in our website, and register as a user to see more of the new features of our package.

January 2002 - first release candidate published (XOOPS 1.0 RC1)

It is a happy new year indeed with the release of XOOPS 2 to a select beta team. Please understand that due to overwhelming demand and limited support resources, we have limited the beta team to a select group for now and cannot accept any more requests. Please understand that this approach is necessary to help our core dev team stay on track. As soon as the beta team has finished testing the product, there will be an announcement with a date set for the official release so, please stay tuned. Thanks, XOOPS Team
