PyroCMS v0.9.8
PyroCMS (master)

Here is the full changelog:

* Added "Widgets" which allow very flexible chunks of code to be placed almost anywhere.
* Added custom CSS area for pages.
* Added GUI editable "Page layouts" to control shared layouts for grouped pages.
* "Check all" boxes and CTRL + Click selecting added to all listing pages.
* Switched module system from Matchbox to Modular Separation (minor performance boost).
* Switched template system from HelpfulParser to Dwoo (dramaticallty improved syntax support, if/else, loops, etc).
* Removed Layout library and replaced with the much cleaner Template library.
* Removed all PHP short-tags.
* Standardized much of the model code, and removed deprecated CodeIgniter ActiveRecord methods like getwhere().
* Disabled GZIP compression by default. If you want it, re-enable in application/config/config.php.
* Settings library now loads all settings on instantiation, instead of one query-per-setting.
* Added "Preview" windows for pages and news, much more accurate than before.
* Draft/Live status added for pages, admins can see pages anyway.
* Swapped Facebox for Fancybox. Mainly iframe support, but it seems generally better.
* Re-enabled page slug editing.
* Navigation add/edit form is now much more user-friendly.
* Removed all CAPTCHAs and use Akismet and some clever trickery to check for spam.
* Upgraded to Google Async Analytics (much quicker).
* Added editable 404 page which actually sends 404 header.
* Navigation links are drag/drop sortable in admin.
* URI slugs in News and Pages are now editable.
* Upgraded Dwoo to v1.1.1.
* Upgraded jQuery to v1.4.2.
* Upgraded jQuery UI to v1.7.2.
* Updated default theme to use entirely Dwoo syntax as an example.
* Required metadata such as jQuery / front.js loading is now handled internally so theme designers dont need to remember it.
* Optional RSS feeds of a pages children, available for any page.
* Tidied up the dashboard, added recent users & comments and made it multi-lang.
* Added Polish language support.
* Added "Variables" module which allows user-defined variables accross the site.
* Merged Ion Auth project into the core to replace legacy user system
* Added /third_party folder to store downloadable modules and themes.
* Error message added in case active theme is deleted.
* Added IP tracking to comments.

This is obviously a LOT for me to test by myself, so this will require some help from the community.
