ZK 7.0.4 release notes

PE/EE Released on Dec 09, 2014


ZK 7.0.4 is a maintenance release for several new features and bug fixes.

ZK 7 series focuses on the improved theme system, bringing with it the most powerful, flexible yet simple theme engine to date combining the power of CSS 3, LESS and Bootstrap to create the best possible experience.

It is now much easier to create themes from scratch and/or customize existing themes. Leveraging ZK 7, design and development teams will have a much easier job and spend less time creating applications which look great and perform better than ever.

Please note that this version is released for PE/EE customers & ZOL users.
