Dear OpenCms users,

was developed by Alkacon Software GmbH (http://www.alkacon.com) with the
support of an international OpenCms developer community.

OpenCms 6.2 BETA adds several useful features to OpenCms 6.0 such as:

* Multiple selections and operations in the Workplace Explorer 
* Native image scaling and manipulation 
* Visual ("diff" like) comparison of document versions 
* Integration of the popular FCKeditor for WYSIWYG editing 
* Much improved search index admininstation interface 
* More options for generating accessible website content

For complete details about the new features in 6.2, please check the release
notes. 

The final release of OpenCms 6.2 is scheduled for end of March 2006,
provided that there are no major issues discovered with this BETA release.
