The Mambo Team announces the final release of the Mambo 4.5.x series of releases. This marks the end of an era for one of the web’s most popular Free Open Source Software (FOSS) Content Management Systems (CMS). The enormous success of Mambo 4.5.x led to many forks, some successful, some less so. “Mambo 4.5 has been a great CMS, a good framework, and a great school to many of us”, says Ozgur Cem Sen, Core Team Leader of Mambo.
“We have been overwhelmed with the positive feedback we’ve received for the Mambo 4.6.x series, initially released over 16 months ago”, continues Mr. Sen. “We encourage all Mambo users to upgrade to the latest stable release of Mambo 4.6.”
During the last several months, the Mambo Team has been working very hard on the upcoming Mambo 4.7, as well as maintaining and doing minor development on Mambo 4.6.x. The Mambo Team also has been discussing Mambo 5. “It is time to look forward, and focus our efforts towards growth”, says Nicolas Steenhout, Secretary of the Mambo Foundation, Inc.
Project Leader, Chad Auld says that this is both a sad and an exciting time for Mambo. “It is always sad to see software reaching the end of development,” Chad says, “Mambo 4.5 has been with us for many years”. He adds, “Mambo 4.5′s time has passed and Mambo is moving forward to an even better future. With 4.7 getting closer to release and planning under way for Mambo 5.0, we have exciting things coming.”
Team Mambo supports those sentiments and wishes to thank everyone who contributed to Mambo 4.5. This is an exciting step forward for Mambo and one which the Team hopes will be supported by the community.
Farewell Mambo 4.5!

When I got my TMobile G1 Android phone, I was really enthusiastic about what it has to offer, and it has not failed me yet. Knock on the wood!
As a user of the device, the only thing I can say is, it is fabulous. The application market place is not that rich yet, as the “other” device. However, it looks like getting there. I am not much of a person who would download everything and clog my computational devices, but more of a minimalist who would have only what he needs. Same thing for my G1 phone. I have the Twitroid (frequent user), imeem (once in a while I check what’s tuning), Wertago (i like the idea, but the recommendations around my area are not too accurate), Bank of America’s Mobile Banking app came in handy a few times (had to show my ginormous balance to my friends, j/k) and a few others.
After starting to exchange more SMS messages with my friends, I realized that, those messages accumulate and slows things down a wee bit. Deleting the entire threads of messages was an option, or deleting the entire Message database another option. Deleting the messages one by one was NOT an option. I would rather pull a few all nighters, deprive myself of sleep for a week, and write a programs to do things, such as extracting those messages, instead of doing a manual deletion.That’s how the “Txtract” project started.
