Rewriting Elanat CMS

As you know, Elanat CMS is built on the CodeBehind Framework with the lowest dependency. Soon, Elanat CMS will be completely rewritten based on the latest CodeBehind Framework technologies. We will not add any new versions until rewriting and new updates will be stopped completely.

Use of CodeBehind technologies

The new rewrite is done in order to adapt to the latest CodeBehind Framework technologies. The new version will be version 3. In this rewrite, support for interpreted and compiled programming languages ​​will be completely stopped and Elanat's focus will be on .NET Core; also, HTML support for add-ons ends. The database changes slightly and its structure is re-evaluated. How to call add-ons is only done with the server, and IFrame, Ajax, text and on server calls are removed.

Using WebFormsJS

In this rewrite, all JavaScript files related to the core and core and non-core add-ons are completely removed and the high-level WebFormsJS technology will be used. When rewriting, wherever WebFormsJS does not meet the needs, new features will be added to WebFormsJS. In this rewrite, due to the use of WebFormsJS technology, many views without values ​​are also removed and the recompilation speed increases.
