As of this morning Clarion Desktop is now displaying news headlines from SoftVelocity’s new blog feed.

Following on from the last post, we have just released Clarion Desktop 4.30.  While rebuilding the WordPress backend we’ve had to make several major internal changes, hence this release.

We released Clarion Desktop version 4.25 a couple of days ago.  That seems to have well, and all outstanding issues seem to have been resolved.

This morning we rebuilt a major part of the Clarion Desktop RSS engine.  We’ll be testing that over the next few days, and will hopefully be signing up some exciting new contributors (more on this in a future post).

Once that’s done we’ll be doing some work on the Clarion Desktop cosmetics, and will then release version 5.0.  ETA is (hopefully) first thing next week!

We’re proud to reveal the brand new ClarionDesktop.com website!  Now powered by WordPress.

The old site was built with Drupal, which served us well.  But we’ve decided to move over to WordPress because it’s easier to maintain, it’s faster, easier to customize, feels slicker, has all the features that we need, and because raising the bar on the website fits in with the whole J-Walk campaign.

Or to put that into a shorter sentence, WordPress rocks.  It’s better than Drupal, Joomla, and quite possibly even water.

We’ll be tweaking and adding to the new site over the coming days, and plan to release the next version of Clarion Desktop on Friday.  Watch this site for details…
