Krang v1.014, the first public release, is now available.

Krang is an Open Source web-publisher / content-management system designed for large-scale magazine-style websites. It is a 100% Perl application using Apache/mod_perl and MySQL, as well as numerous CPAN modules.

Krang provides a powerful and easy to use story and media editing environment for magazine editors, as well as a complete template development environment for web designers. On the back-end, Perl programmers can customize Krang to control the data entered in the story editor and add code to drive the templates to build output. Krang can be enhanced with add-ons containing new skins and other new features. Krang easily handles large data sets and can manage multiple websites in a single installation.

PS: The PerlMonks community deserves a measure of credit for Krang's creation. You helped us design the installation system, skin the UI, fix the XML system to handle 8-bit data and improve error messages generated during BEGIN blocks. Thanks for the help!
