[opencms-dev] Feedback requested for current CVS HEAD version

[Hartmann, Waehrisch & Feykes GmbH]

Hi,
this sounds all very good to me, thanks.
I have one more feature request though:
A module should be able to plug new actions into the context menu of the
files (or subset of them by file types).
Currently the context menu is separated into sections. It would be nice to
have the ability to add an action to one of the existing sections and to
define new sections.
Example: The lucene search module could add one context menu action called
"add this file to index" or even better a small dialog analogous to the
navigation where you could additionally set parameters like "index",
"noindex", "follow" and "nofollow".

And i have another feature request ;-) (actually this feature has been
requested several times, so this is just a reminder):
the ability to select more than one files in the explorer view to delete a
whole bunch of them (or move or do whatever applies to all of them)

Regards,
Stephan

Hi,

this is a request for feedback on the current CVS HEAD version of OpenCms.

Now is your chance to make your voice heard before everything is settled for
the next "official" version. Please speak out now, or be forever silent...
;-)

We have reached a point where several new features have been fully
implemented in the current CVS HEAD version:

* Large parts of the OpenCms workplace have been rewritten
  in JSP, adding new features and much improved usability
* Resource permissions in the VFS are
  now managed in ACLs instead of Unix - style
* Multiple websites can now be
  managed in one OpenCms installation
* Support for multi-language versions of the same page
* Implements a "Direct Edit" feature that allows
  users to open the editor directly from the website
  with an "Edit" button on the page
* Start rewriting the static export to allow
  "on demand" export of resources
* Publishing has been rewritten
* The database pooling has been replaced
  with DBCP from Apache Jarkarta
* Logging now uses Commons - Logging from
  Apache Jarkarta
* Implement new, cleaned up XmlPage API that
  replaces deprecated XMLTemplate for page storage

The current CVS HEAD version is 5.3.1 and it can be considered "stable
enough". It will not be released as binary or downloadable version since we
plan to add more features / improvements in the next couple of months. The
only way to obtain it is by CVS as described on the opencms.org website.

There are several people / companies who use OpenCms on a regular basis. I
would especially like to hear your feedback on the current status and the
general direction we are heading with the core. Please let me know what you
think. All responses to this mailing list, please.

Best Regards,
Alex.
