[opencms-dev] OpenCms version 6.2.0 has been released

> Great work, thanks :) I've just tested the new release and I love it. The
performance is about twice as fast as my install on 6.03. The improvements
on the XML Content UI are perfect and the support of mssql works without
problems (as far as I can say). 

Thank you, it's sometimes good to hear something positive...

>One Question: What is the license for the alkacon-simapi package. Is it
open source / is it possible to get the source and/or extend some features?

We will make the source code of Simapi and also of the Diff packages
available soon on the opencms CVS server. It's likley these will be LGPL
like the OpenCms core. It really was just an issue of not having the time to
prepare the source, it's not that we want to hold something back. Please
bear with us.

Kind Regards,
Alex.

	Hey guys!
	
	Great work, thanks :) I've just tested the new release and I love
it. The performance is about twice as fast as my install on 6.03. The
improvements on the XML Content UI are perfect and the support of mssql
works without problems (as far as I can say). 
	
	One Question:
	What is the license for the alkacon-simapi package. Is it open
source / is it possible to get the source and/or extend some features?
	
	Kind regards,
