[Zope-Annce] Silva 0.9.2 beta released

[Jan-Wijbrand Kolman]

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:
