Say Hello to Concrete5.2.0

Concrete5.2.0 has officially been released and is now available for download. There’s some pretty exciting enhancements and fixes in 5.2.0.

Update form_results link in submission email template
Fixing bug that occurred occasionally when saving dashboard notes
Fixing getcontents to work better with local files
When adding/editing a form block, the select menu only shows the last item in the list.
Make $html->image helper able to automatically determine image size, and it looks in several places for the image
Fixing problems with the event model, adding support for package level on_start event, which enables global application events
Fix block refresh on a packaged block returning “no block by that name found in core blocks directory”
Implement on_file_upload
Fixed Log() class so it’s more sane to use.

Customizable themes. Designers/coders can edit the stylesheet to include editable styles, which site owners can then modify with easy tools. Watch a screencast about the theme customizer. Information about how to code your themes to take advantage of the customizer is coming soon.
Integration with the concrete5 marketplace, hosted at concrete5.org. Browse addons and themes directly in your c5 installation, and even preview how your content will look in these themes. (Note: this can be disabled.)
Much improved performance: c5 now includes a caching engine that dramatically reduces the number of database queries made and, consequently, the amount of processing power and time required to render a c5 page.
