GlobalSCAPE discontinues PureCMS

GlobalSCAPE discontinued it's low-cost CMS offering, PureCMS last month. That's a little sad. The company cited "the evolving web content management market." Presumably that means that Macromedia Contribute was locking up the market for the kind of file-based content management sans workflow that PureCMS targeted. GlobalSCAPE is encouraging its PureCMS customers to upgrade to its "PublishXML" product, but that's a much more complex package for developers and authors alike. Incidentally, both products were developed by Hannon Hill (a Georgia, USA-based CMS company), and re-sold by GlobalSCAPE. Meanwhile, GlobalSCAPE's core file-transfer tools seem to be doing well.
