Note to current users
Please be aware that CompactCMS 1.4.0 has changed significantly since previous versions in structure and templating in regard to the front-end. If your current website runs smooth and reliable, there is no need to upgrade. If you would like to implement 1.4.0 over 1.3.2, it is recommended to do a clean install and to do a convertion of your current template to the new format.
I apologize for any inconvenience, but I'm confident that the new format is an improvement in regard to the previous format.
