Downloads

Main

Webspaces is in a state of continual development. So the downloads that are available change often. Each version has been production tested, and therefore free of serious bugs, but none are guaranteed to be 100% free from quirks. If somethings working strange, try upgrading.

 

The webspaces package contains the cms, plus the calendar,and discuss addons. The server-addons package contains code to run the lists, netmeter and backup modules, but only relevant to those with their own servers.
