Unfortunately, due to key differences in vision between the founders and maintainers we have decided to fork OctoberCMS as OctoberCMF. What this means going forwards is that the core team of maintainers (myself,
@bennothommo, & @w20k) will no longer be maintaining any
@octobercms repositories and will instead be maintaining the
@OctoberCMF repositories.
All existing plugins & themes remain compatible with this fork, you will just have to change your composer.json files to reference the following dependencies instead:
"octobercmf/rain": "~1.0",
"octobercmf/system": "~1.0",
"octobercmf/backend": "~1.0",
"octobercmf/cms": "~1.0",
Our immediate goal is to finish setting up the repos under the OctoberCMF name, the system, backend, & cms repos are being setup as I type this and should be ready by end of day today.
If there are any pending PRs / issues on the OctoberCMS repos that you would like dealt with, please resubmit them here.
Once that is complete we will be focusing on finishing up the remaining work for Build 460 and getting these changes pushed to master with the Laravel 6 update to follow afterwards.
Moving forwards we will continue to work on new builds as per normal and we will also start work on the main website for the project with the goal of eventually replacing the OctoberCMS marketplace. In the meantime, you will still be able to use the OctoberCMS marketplace with OctoberCMF.
Our big picture goal is to continue to grow and improve and eventually take over WordPress as the CMS of choice around the world. I would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we move forwards and I look forward to all the excellent work that is to come!
