The Apache ManifoldCF team is pleased to announce the 2.27 release. Apache ManifoldCF is an effort to provide an open source framework for connecting source content repositories like Microsoft Sharepoint and EMC Documentum, to target repositories or indexes, such as Apache Solr, Open Search Server, or ElasticSearch. Apache ManifoldCF also defines a security model for target repositories that permits them to enforce source-repository security policies.
Project website: https://manifoldcf.apache.org/ Download page: https://manifoldcf.apache.org/en_US/download.html == Release Notes This is the first release of ManifoldCF using the GitHub repository, a big part of the effort was spent converting our release scripts from Python to GitHub Workflows / GitHub Actions. This will bring a huge benefit for the overall community because now we can manage Pull Requests from GitHub in the standard way. Our Maven artifacts are now published in the ASF Nexus repo and they are available publicly: https://repository.apache.org/#nexus-search;quick~mcf We also have official Docker Images published in the Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/manifoldcf We are also pleased to introduce the ManifoldCF SDK, a first version is available in order to facilitate the development of connectors and extensions on top of ManifoldCF. The SDK will create the extensions JAR using the public Maven artifacts and it will deploy it in our official Docker Image creating your own ManifoldCF container: https://github.com/apache/manifoldcf-sdk The website now is managed using GitHub including all the generated HTML templates, this due to the deprecation of the ASF Pelican CMS. Finally we also solved some Ant and Maven build issues, updated the footer UI and other little bug fixes. Below all the solved issues: Apache ManifoldCF 2.27 includes the following improvements: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/CONNECTORS/versions/12354846 Bug [CONNECTORS-1750] - Build broken due to the Nuxeo Maven repo not available [CONNECTORS-1751] - HDFS Connector - Maven build issue [CONNECTORS-1753] - ant make-core-deps fails [CONNECTORS-1755] - Copyright footer must be updated New Feature [CONNECTORS-1492] - Add support for Docker [CONNECTORS-1706] - ManifoldCF SDK Improvement [CONNECTORS-1757] - GTS Connector - Add comment to warn it is not secure Task [CONNECTORS-1744] - Migrate away from Travis-CI [CONNECTORS-1754] - Converting release scripts to GitHub workflows [CONNECTORS-1756] - Migrating the website on GitHub
