Dear Alexander,

I am so happy to know of the OpenCms 5.0 release. I have just downloaded
all the related pages and zip files. I'll see them now. I was using 5.0
rc2 till morning today for developing a news management system.

I did not find any news module on the new site. I guess the news module
is still in version 4. Where is it?

Using OpenCMS 5.0 Beta or the latest CVS of 2003.05.05 I cannot create a
link using mozilla 1.3 on Linux.
The Finish button stays inactive (unclikable) whatever I do.
The problem does not appear with IE.

Any idea ?

Bruno.

Subject: [opencms-dev] OpenCms version 5.0 final (5.0.0) available
Reply-To: opencms-dev at opencms.org

Hi all,

I am happy to report that the OpenCms 5.0 "final" release is now
available. The exact version number of this release version is OpenCms
5.0.0.

This release features numerous enhancements and fixes over the last
published "release candidate" (5.0 rc 2). The 5.0 release is a major
step for OpenCms in general. It is far superior to OpenCms 4.x and we
recommend everyone who uses OpenCms to upgrade to the 5.0.0 version.

You can download the OpenCms 5.0.0 release from the OpenCms homepage
at http://www.opencms.org. You will notice that the OpenCms homepage
has been rebuild and offers new features.

OpenCms 5.0 comes with a new template mechanism based on JSP and
taglibs. JSP is a well documented standard, easy to learn for Java
programmers, the created templates are extremely fast and development
of interactive functionality like web forms or database connections
with JSP in OpenCms is straightforward. Therefore the JSP template
mechanism makes the 4.x style proprietary "XMLTemplate" mechanism
pretty much obsolete, even though it is still supported in the 5.0
release. For new projects, we strongly recommend using only JSP
templates in OpenCms. Full documentation and examples for OpenCms JSP
templates developed by Alkacon Software has been made available
together with the 5.0.0 version. Experience shows that using JSP in
OpenCms can reduce development time up to 50%, with a much easier to
manage learning curve for beginners when compared to XMLTemplates.

Upgrading to OpenCms 5.0 is easy. Please check the upgrade information
provided as part of the org.opencms.welcome module to learn how to
upgrade your existing OpenCms system to the 5.0 release.

OpenCms 5.0 is Open Source software published under the LGPL license.

OpenCms 5.0 supports Java 1.4. and 1.4.1. Because of required features
related to file encoding and JDBC, Java 1.3 is not longer supported.
If you run Java 1.3 on your OpenCms server, please upgrade to 1.4.1.
for OpenCms 5.0.

The almost complete list of changes and improvements in OpenCms 5.0.0
final over the last release candidate (5.0 rc 2):

* Added "import.immutable.resources" setting to opencms.properties,
  all resources listed there will be ignored during an import if they
  already exist
* The size of the file upload can now be limited with the
  opencms.properties setting "workplace.file.maxuploadsize"
* Added method getContent() to com.opencms.jsp.CmsJspActionElement
* Export and import for module data now use a report output instead of
  writing to the console
* OpenCms now sets a "Server" http response header
  "OpenCms/{version_number}"
* The file last modified date is now saved when exporting and
  importing data from the VFS
* Added links management for VFS links, it's now possible to find all
  VFS links that point to a specific file
* Added feature to convert content from old export format (4.x) to 5.0
  version, set "compatibility.support.import.4.x.contents=true" in
  opencms.properties
* Updated the TeX sources of the PDF documentation for the 5.0 release
* Implemented "module replacement", if a module is uploaded that
  already exists in the system, the existing module is updated (simple
  type modules only)
* Default user preferences can now be set in opencms.properties
* Improved "new module" options, it's now possible to select if
  exportable "classes/" and/or "lib/" folders should be created for
  the module
* Updated and improved English workplace online help is now available
  as a separate module "org.opencms.help.en"
* Database field sizes for user, group and project names have been
  increased to 64 characters
* Fixed issue #71: CronScheduler does not longer re-open the DB
  connections if OpenCms is shut down
* Fixed issue with JSP static export not always restoring the previous
  URI context
* Fixed compatibility issues with MySQL 4.0.x, OpenCms now supports
  MySQL 4.0.x
* Fixed issue #56: Links in "Text" pages edited with the WYSIWYG "Edit
  as HTML"
* Fixed issue with hard coded servlet context path in <edittemplate>,
  it's now possible to rename the servlet context and the images still
  work in the editor
* Fixed issue #55 from Bugzilla (compatibility.support.oldlocales not
  working if no new modules installed)
* Fixed issue where an absolute link to the local machine with an URI
  outside of OpenCms was incorrectly treated as an OpenCms internal
  link by the link replacement engine
* Improved handling of cached properties in the CmsResourceBroker
* Deleted CmsCache and CmsResourceCache and replaced them with
  CmsLruHashMap, also replaced a lot of Hashtable uses with Map
* Added automatic forced exclusion of system folders for module import
* Improved source code quality by removing unused method parameters in
  most (but not all) packages
* Streamlined module administration options, now a module can be
  uploaded or created only when "offline"
* Improved JavaDocs in package com.opencms.flex.jsp.*
* Improved the API for the building of dynamic navigations on a JSP
* Module version numbers are of type float instead of int now, so that
  values like "0.9" are possible
* Workplace now adopts to the systems default encoding if possible
  instead of using only the encoding set in the localization file
* Removed unused private methods and member variables in all classes
* JSP are now stored with real path names in the jsp/ subdirectory
* When exporting a module the modules "uploadeddate" and "uploadedby"
  registry information is discarded
* Added global method getOpenCmsContext() in
  com.opencms.core.A_OpenCms for universal access to the servlet
  context and servlet name
* Some final touches were added to the JSP / XMLTemplate integration
  for easier inclusion of sub - elements or multiple body pages in JSP
  templates
* Updated OpenCms TLD for modified options of the <cms:include> tag
* The "bodyloader" for the JSP / XMLTemplate integration is now a
  default part of the installation, located in the new /system/shared/
  directory
* Improved logging output if OpenCms is initialized

The team at Alkacon Software wants to thank everyone who has 
contributed to this release of OpenCms. 

Please use our Bugzilla to report bugs in this release:
http://www.opencms.org/bugzilla/

Thank you for using OpenCms and have fun with OpenCms 5.0 :-)

Alex.

Subject: [opencms-dev] New OpenCms infrastructure in place
Reply-To: opencms-dev at opencms.org

Hi all,

we have installed a new and improved infrastructure for the OpenCms
development. This includes new servers for the OpenCms CVS and the
OpenCms bug tracking system (which is based on Bugzilla). We also have
created a full-text searchable index for the recently updated mailing
list server.


CVS client configuration
------------------------

Set your environment variable CVSROOT or GUI client equivalent to

   :pserver:anon at cvs.opencms.org:/usr/local/cvs

Next, you need to login into the CVS repository by typing

   cvs login

or using the equivalent login method for your GUI client. This will ask
you for a password.

The password for anonymous read-only access is "anon".

The complete OpenCms source code is available in the opencms/
subdirectory of the CVS tree. To get the whole opencms tree and place it
in a subdir of your current working directory, issue the command

   cvs checkout opencms

or use the equivalent method of your GUI client.

We also provide a new CVS web interface at: 
http://www.opencms.org/cvs


The OpenCms bug tracking system
-------------------------------

We also have installed a new bug tracker (based on Bugzilla) which now
also features the new version information for the 5.0 release.

Please use the OpenCms bug tracking system to report all bugs you find
in OpenCms. Using the bug tracking system makes it easier for everyone
using OpenCms and participating in the OpenCms development to manage the
process of bug fixing. You will have to create an account first.

Unfortunatly we where unable to move the 15 currently "open" or "new"
bugs to the new server. We might re-enter the most important bugs
manually later. If you have recently filed a serious bug report, please
re-file it in the new bugzilla.

The new OpenCms bug tracking system is still available at: 
http://www.opencms.org/bugzilla/

Please note: If you encounter setup related problems, please consult the
OpenCms mailing list first. In 95% of all cases, setup issues are not
bugs in OpenCms but related to your local environment configuration. In
this case, you should first search the mailing list archive because most
of the setup problems have already been answered a couple of times. If
you don't find the answer to your setup problem in the archive, post it
to the OpenCms mailing list.


Best Regards,
Alex.

Reply-To: opencms-dev at opencms.org

Hi all,

the much anticipated documentation for the OpenCms 5.0 release is now
available. This documentation has been developed (and will be
maintained) by Alkacon Software.

>From version 5.0 onward, the main part of the OpenCms documentation is
maintained in the form of OpenCms modules. One of the big advantages is
that this gives the reader an interactive documentation with a lot of
working example code, because everything can directly be checked out in
the running system. It's also easier to write the documentation that
way. Some documentation material is available as PDF. The main purpose
of the PDF documentation is to provide introductory material about
OpenCms, especially providing installation instructions, an "end user"
introduction and a general system overview.

The OpenCms 5.0 interactive documentation includes the following
modules:

* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 interactive documentation base module
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 Howto: JSP template development
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 Howto: Translating the OpenCms Workplace
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 JSP basic documentation
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 JSP scriptlet documentation
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 JSP taglib documentation
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 Flexcache documentation
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 Module mechanism documentation
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 Flex examples set 1
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 Flex examples set 2
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 Flex examples set 3
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 Original JSTL 1.0 standard taglib examples
* Alkacon OpenCms 5.0 Original Tomcat 4.x JSP examples

The documentation modules are available for download at: 
http://www.alkacon.com/alkacon/en/company/downloads.html

Additional documentation chapters are under development and will be
released in due course.

Subject: [opencms-dev] Add your OpenCms based site to the list of
OpenCms references
Reply-To: opencms-dev at opencms.org

Hi all,

the updated OpenCms http://www.opencms.org website now includes a list
of OpenCms reference sites.

The list of OpenCms reference sites is available at: 
http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/support/references/

If you run a site with OpenCms, please add it to the list of OpenCms
reference sites. It doesn't matter if you have used OpenCms to build a
public website or Intranet or Extranet.

Please include some details about how you successfully used OpenCms in
the description. You are able to create, preview, add and later change
your entries on the list by using the "add a reference site" form.

The "add a reference site" form is available at: 
http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/support/references/add.html

More details on how to create a reference site entry are provided on the
form.

Please help us to ensure the continued success of OpenCms by adding to
the list of OpenCms reference sites. The more sites run OpenCms, the
more active the OpenCms community will become, and the more bug fixes
and new features will be added to the system. You will benefit directly
because new versions with new features and other add-ons will become
available to you for download.

Reply-To: opencms-dev at opencms.org

Hi all,

the updated OpenCms http://www.opencms.org website now features an
OpenCms "Solution Provider" section where companies offering support for
OpenCms projects are listed with their logo and full company contact
information.

The list of OpenCms solution provides is available at: 
http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/support/solution_providers/

The list of OpenCms solution providers is aimed at end users looking for
a local partner who can help in the implementation of an OpenCms
project. We observe a growing interest in OpenCms based services
worldwide. Being a registered OpenCms solution provider on the
opencms.org website gives a company great visibility and therefore will
provide a significant advantage when customers make a decision for
choosing an OpenCms partner.

I want to invite every company which offers OpenCms based services to
become a registered OpenCms solution provider and be included in the
list on the new opencms.org website. Participating companies are able to
create, preview, add and later change their entries on the list. This
service is provided by Alkacon Software, free of charge and open to
anyone who offers services for OpenCms.

The registration form is available at: 
http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/support/solution_providers/
Please open this page and click on "Register a solution provider" on the
left side navigation.

If you are interested in being listed with your company, please fill out
the registration form. Details on how to do this are provided on the
form.

In case you have any questions or comments, please send an email to
info at alkacon.com.

Congratulation for the new web site and the release 5.0 of OpenCms.
I like the new site, it's more clear and looks more business oriented.

As for the bugzilla, I am in trouble trying to create an account. It
always says it sends me an email with my password but after 1 hour, It's
still not in my inbox.

Congratulations for the new release.

On the subject of documentation, it is great to have a full set of 5.0
docs but does one really need to install/deploy OpenCMS to consult it? 

Seems to me as a pretty steep price to pay especially for those who are
sure if they should get there feet wet and want to have a look at the
docs.

Are the docs or any part of it available anywhere in another form (web
site, PDF). I understand you would loose interactivity. If somebody
wanted to host the doc on an OpenCMS server somewhere and give the world
access to it it would be great but I can see that people do not want the
hassle and the cost...
