Hello! The development team is happy to announce the release of the fifth major version of eZ Components: version 2007.2.
New Components ============== In this release, there are two new components. Tree ---- This component enables you to create, manipulate and query tree structures. There are several back-ends available, each with different performance-related properties. There are two tie-ins for this extension: TreeDatabaseTiein stores tree structures in a database (recommended) and TreePersistentObjectTiein enables you to store the data belonging to the tree structure as a persistent object. Note: The Tree component requires PHP 5.2.1 or higher. Webdav ------ The Webdav component enables you to easily set up a WebDAV-enabled HTTP server. Users can then create and edit site content by uploading and downloading files to and from their desktop. The current implementation is compatible with RFC 2518. It also supports clients that do not conform to the standard and provides an interface to support these clients. This component does not have any other dependencies besides PHP (and the required extensions), nor does it require any Apache modules. Note: The WebDAV component requires PHP 5.2.1 or higher. Other Improvements ------------------ Other major new features include better OpenID support, support for APC and memcache back-ends to the Cache component, a Unix syslog format writer for EventLog, stacked bar charts and ODO meter charts in the Graph component, and more SMTP authentication mechanisms (DIGEST-MD5, CRAM-MD5, NTLM and LOGIN). For this release, the development team addressed 63 bugs, implemented 42 new features and completed 12 tasks - 117 issues in total. Upgrading You can download the eZ Components bundle on the download page. Updated documentation is available on the documentation page. Please note that eZ Components now requires PHP 5.1.6 or higher. Users of the PEAR installer can upgrade to the new version with this command: pear upgrade ezc/ezcomponents The full announcement is online here: http://ezcomponents.org/resources/news/news-2007-12-17 regards, -- Derick Rethans eZ components Product Manager eZ systems | http://ez.no -- Components mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ez.no/mailman/listinfo/components
