После практически года разработки вышла обновленная версия Elxis CMS 2008.1, которая основана на исходных кодах Mambo CMS. На сегодняшний день в Elxis переписано практически все ядро и этот продукт является совершенно новой разработкой

1. You can set new users to be approved manually before they are able to login for the first time. After an administrator approve a new user registration, a notification e-mail, written in the user's preferable language, is sent to him to notify him that his registration was approved.

2. Integration of component eBlog. eBlog (Elxis Blog) is a full featured Blog component for Elxis CMS. You can create unlimited user blogs and assign an owner to each one.
