Statamic v2 is released and it’s now powered by Laravel

Published on March 31st, 2016 by Eric L. Barnes

Statamic the flat file CMS powered by markdown has been rebuilt from the ground up on Laravel 5.1 along with a brand new control panel.

“Statamic 2 took a year of hard work, sweat, and whiskey tears, 4,000 commits, 200 beta testers, and 43 alpha/beta releases.” Jack McDade said in the announcement.

You have to love those testimonials on the home page:

I’ve been trying out the beta and they have done a fantastic job with the product. If you are looking for a CMS give it a look. It has so many features that it can be used for a site of any size and with the familiarity of Laravel you’ll be right at home.
