New Majicko 1.3.0 Released
Friday, Dec 19, 2008 12:41pm

As of the launch of Bandwise's new website and the update of Majicko.com, Majicko 1.3.0 has been officially released. This new update focuses primarily on efficiency, bug fixes, security, and visual improvements rather than new features, though a few new features for administrating the software and adding content are included.

The admin section has been completely rewritten. Forms are friendlier and go to extensive lengths to ensure data is entered properly. There is much more help and feature description available to assist webmasters in administrating their website. Floating tooltips are everywhere in the admin panel of Majicko 1.3.0, so getting help is as easy as pointing your mouse. There are more settings, adding more flexibility to the software and allowing for greater customization.

Some anti-hacking and abuse-resistant features have been added to Majicko. The admin login system now has a failure limit, stopping all dictionary or brute-force attacks from penetrating your website controls. A number of string processing functions have also been added to main site systems to prevent injection or form hacking. Majicko has come a long way to become a solid piece of online software, easy and safe to use.

A number of useful tools have been added to Majicko's admin panel for serious programmers including a Unix time converter, password hash generator, and PHP function lookup. For you SEO gurus, we have added an XML-based sitemap generator useful for registering with Google Webmaster Tools and other such XML-based sitemapping services. A number of logs and system reports have been added, providing more information on how viewers behave on the website and where they go.

While new features are fewer in number, Majicko 1.3.0 does not disappoint with what has been added. Media archives have been extended to include podcasts, videos, and documents. The video gallery is a custom designed hybrid gallery capable of storing and serving local flash videos or embedded videos from Youtube. Show your viewers nearly every piece of media imaginable from your various media archives.

Majicko 1.4.0 is already underway, promising exciting new features for avid Majicko users. Some new features already in the works include HTML blocks which display simple HTML code as oppose to classic PHP blocks. Static pages will have the ability to override default block placement and template selection, making certain pages standout and provide more relative information for the current content.
