Textpattern

Textpattern is a content management system written in PHP, described by its maintainers as flexible, elegant, fast and easy to use. It is free and open source software that runs on an ordinary web server with PHP and MySQL, so it can be installed on typical shared or dedicated hosting.

The current production release is version 4.9.1, distributed as zip, tar.gz and tar.xz archives from the Textpattern website and GitHub. The tar archives are the ones to use if you want the multi-site functionality. Installation and upgrade steps are covered in README.txt and UPGRADE.txt, and the project publishes anticipated future system requirements so hosts can plan ahead.

Textpattern is released under the GPL-2.0 license. Help is available through a community support forum and social media channels, and the development snapshot lives in the GitHub repository for people who want to follow or contribute to the code. Topics list it as a content management framework as well as a CMS.
