Legacy

• Orginally brought to github by Kami as Open Blog around 2010 built on Codeigniter v(2-ish).
• Dec. 2016 Kami released Open Blog to Enlivenapp along with domains.
• Enlivenapp brought about Open Blog 3 updated with Codeigniter3 and more functionality.
• Mar 2018 some copyright considerations caused the renaming of Open Blog to Pubvana and was release under Enlivenapp/pubvana built on Codeigniter4 until Aug of 2026.
• Aug 2026 Pubvana was moved to it's own organisation(github) where Pubvana v3 replaced Codeigniter with FlightPHP with updated and modern coding style, security, and a larger feature set. This is a completely different codebase and is not backwards compatable to previous versions of Pubvana and Open Blog.
