1.0beta - May 15, 2002

This is the initial release of a much improved PMI. Many many changes have been introduced since the alpha. The original alpha version of this product was tailored much-too-much for my own workplace. This version has been substantially reworked to be much more independent. In addition, a plethora of new features have been added, including:

• added project and category watch lists enabling any user to "watch" content areas that interest them
• new directory feature - documents are now stored in a directory (much like dmoz.org). Any user can add a document to the repository removing the burden on the administrator. Users can browse the contents of directory as well, making it easier for them to find the information they want
• made the whole thing more project (vs release) centric. Now projects, as well as releases, have dash boards.
• cleaned up the release dashboard
• overall better navigation
• made installation easier and less error prone by making all of the components more dependent, by using relative links throughout so that the PMI can be installed anywhere on a site.
• cleaned up database schema
• better and cleaner Bugzilla integration which is much more configurable

0.9alpha - March 26, 2002

• 3/27/2002, Updated the INSTALL.txt file with instructions (note, these still need to be tested
