Hello, Infrae is happy to release the beta version of the upcoming Silva 0.9.2. Silva is a web application (Zope based) for authoring and serving publications for the web, paper, and other media. Content is stored in clean and future-proof formats, independent of layout and presentation, suitable for use in multiple contexts. For more information on Silva see: http://www.infrae.com/products/silva http://www.zope.org/Members/infrae/Silva This is a feature complete beta. However, being a beta, it most probably has bugs. Silva 0.9.2 will provide extensive new functionality (see also the HISTORY.txt file included in the Silva Product) such as: * Thoroughly revised user interface. * Completely new, flexible metadata architecture. * All text - including metadata - is stored as unicode. * Everything is now indexed using the Zope catalog. * Increased performance, both for public views and for the Silva edit screens. We do encourage testing this beta! It is strongly advised *not* to use this version for production sites though. Due to changes in the content structure this version will not work with existing Silva content. This beta version - as will the final release - includes a content upgrade script. The upgrade script needs testing on 'real world' content. If you do upgrade existing content for testing this procedure, please first make a backup! Please report any bugs and other issues to Infrae and discuss this version on the Silva mailinglists: silva-general@lists.sourceforge.net silva-dev@lists.infrae.com The beta version of the Silva Product can be downloaded at: http://www.zope.org/Members/infrae/Silva/Silva-0.9.2b.tgz A tarball including Silva 0.9.2b and all its dependencies can be downloaded here: http://www.zope.org/Members/infrae/Silva/Silva-0.9.2b-all-products.tgz regards, jw -- Jan-Wijbrand Kolman jw@infrae.com
