XCentium, an award winning digital consultancy, today announced a new release of XBlog v 1.1. XBlog 1.1 supports both Sitecore 8.0 and Sitecore 8.1. It also has performance updates and code clean up. Most notable would be the query calls to more complex modules like tag cloud and author list with post counts. With Sitecore 8 support, modifications were made around changes to SPEAK, a framework Sitecore uses to support its administration UI. Along with the release of version 1.1 XCentium also now offers XBlog source code via GitHub (https://github.com/XCentium/XBlog).
