It’s official. After months of beta testing and questions, College Publisher is finally rolling out the new 5.0 release. Among the first is the Daily 49er at Cal State-Long Beach. Colleen Donnell, editor-in-chief, writes: #

I’d like to officially welcome you to the new Daily Forty-Niner website. It’s been in the works since winter but thanks to a wonderful group of people including staffers, advisers and the team at College Publisher, we’re running live. I couldn’t be more excited. We are the first school to launch with CP5. #

For history’s sake, I should note that Boise State’s Arbiter has been the “beta” school for a while, so they were working out the kinks before the 49er came along. Also first out of the gate with the new system is the Kansas State Collegian. #

The Daily Eastern News is scheduled to get upgraded this month, so I’ll have more to say after we get a look at the whole enchilada. #

The Daily 49er Editor’s Blog “blog” doesn’t seem to have a permalink for the comment above, which means I can’t link directly to Colleen’s comments. #
