History

MiaCMS started as a fork of Mambo.

• April 2008: Four former Mambo core developers fork Mambo and form MiaCMS. The founding members are Chad Auld, Ozgur Cem Sen, Richard Ong, and Al Warren. The initial fork is based on a Mambo 4.6.3 SVN snapshot just prior to their 4.6.4 release.
• May 2008: The first release, MiaCMS 4.6.4, is launched.^[2].
• June 2008: The 2nd release, MiaCMS 4.6.5, is launched.^[3]
• September 2008: Version 4.6.5 SP1 was released. This version was the 4.6.5 release prepacked with the SP1 patch so users would not have to install and then immediately patch.
• September 2008: Mambo core developer Neil Thompson joined the MiaCMS core development team.
• October 2008: MiaCMS tied for 3rd place in the Packt Publishing 2008 Open Source CMS Awards competition^[4] under the "Most Promising Open Source CMS" category. Auld was named in Packt Publishing's 2008 list of "Most Valued People from Open Source Content Management Systems^[5]".
• January 2009: Version 4.8 was released. This release included OpenID support (versions 1 & 2), content versioning, a new JavaScript architecture, a Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) upgrade (from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0), an enhancement to the Related Articles module, new versions of the Byte & MOStlyCE editors, and bug fixes and other enhancements.^[6]
