The Pugpig CMS is made of many components, which can be versioned and released independently. This document outlines the major changes to any of them. Changes to the CMS are rolled out to Express customers automatically. Pro customers will only be upgraded when other work is done on their systems.

The components are:

• Connector - Core Wordpress CMS functionality for sending content to the apps in a meaningful way
• Express - Extension of CMS functionality for authoring content, controlling content templates and appearance, and sending it to the apps in a meaningful way
• Bolt Plugin - Bolt-specific CMS functionality, primarily involving timeline card types and editorial app structure

Note dates are in DD/MM/YYYY format
