changes we

+<h2><a name="2" id="2"></a>New features in 4.5 M2</h2>
+<b>New Persistence Layer</b>
+<br />
+The persistence layer of Jahia is being rewritten in order to support
Hibernate
+( <a href="http://www.hibernate.org"; target="_blank">www.hibernate.org</a>).
+This will allow transaction support at the database level.
+This will also allow a better management of back-end caches and better
support
+of all the relational databases.<br/>
+Thanks to this change, it is now possible to store big texts directly in
+the database (instead of storing them on disk). Please note that we are
+still working on storing all the Jahia data in the database in order to ease
+deployment and clustering.
+<br /><br />
+
+<b>Content Picker (dynamic and static copies)</b>
+<br/>
+A content picker is currently being integrated on top of the XML
import/export
+feature. The content picker will allow any author to easily find and reuse
+existing content on another page. The author will then have the choice to
make
+a static copy of the existing content (no link) or a dynamic copy (each
change
+on the source will impact the destination).
+
+<br /><br /><b>ParamBean refactoring</b>
+<br/>
+A major refactoring of the ParamBean class happened in version 4.5 of Jahia.
+It allows for unit testing of Jahia, as well as using Jahia's content API
+as a library, independently of a servlet container.<br/>
+The main idea behind this change is to introduce a context object that is
+used throughout the code that is NOT dependent on the Servlet API, meaning
+that is does not require the Request/Response/HttpSession objects. This
+new object is called : ProcessingContext and is a new JavaBean that can
+be easily created and fully mutable. It is also the parent class of ParamBean
+and should now always be used in new APIs instead of the ParamBean so that
+we don't re-introduce dependencies on the Servlet API. Making this new class
+the parent class of ParamBean, most of the templates should work without
+modification, but there are a few exceptions documented here.
+<br/><br/>
+Due to this change, people that have developed advanced templates and event
+listeners will have to modify their implementation. Here are the basic
+changes :<br/>
+<br/>
+<p class="code">jParams.getRequest().get*() -> jParams.get*()</p>
+ ex :<br/>
+<p class="code">jParams.getRequest().getServerName() ->
jParams.getServerName()</p>
+<p class="code">jParams.getRequest().getParameter(String) ->
jParams.getParameter(String)</p>
+<br/>
+Session management has also changed, you must now convert this :<br/>
+<p class="code">jParams.getSession().getAttribute()</p>
+ to<br/>
+<p class="code">jParams.getSessionState().getAttribute()</p>
+<br/>
+JahiaEvents.getParams() now returns ProcessingContext instead of ParamBean,
+so you must also change lines that look like this :<br/>
+<p class="code">ParamBean paramBean = jahiaEvent.getParams();</p>
+ into :<br/>
+<p class="code">ProcessingContext processingContext =
jahiaEvent.getProcessingContext();</p>
+<br/>
+Another thing you might note is that some accessors have now been
+deprecated such as :<br/>
+<p class="code">ParamBean paramBean = JahiaData.params()</p>
+ which should be replaced whenever possible by :<br/>
+<p class="code">ProcessingContext processingContext =
JahiaData.getProcessingContext()</p>
+
+<b>New WYSIWYG Editors with Jahia links and file picker</b>
+<br/>
+The HTMLArea editor was replaced by the new Xinha
+(<a href="http://xinha.python-hosting.com/";
target="_blank">http://xinha.python-hosting.com/</a>).
+A new default editor was also introduced:
+FCK Editor (<a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/";
target="_blank">http://www.fckeditor.net/</a>).<br/>
+The FCK editor were customized in order to be able to directly select
internal
+Jahia links from a sitemap or to select uploaded files in the WebDAV Jahia
File
+repository. Such an integration still suffer of performance issues which
will be
+optimized in the next development releases.
+<br /><br />
+
+<b>Improved 403/404/WAI checking</b>
+<br/>
+Jahia now automatically detects and stores all the hardcoded internal links
or
+links to internal files in the big texts (free HTML zone). Jahia can then
warn
+the users during the edition, during permission modifications or during
+validation that such an action will lead to a possible 403 or 404 on another
+page.<br/>
+We are now working on improving accessibility by letting site administrators
+force editors to only enter WAI compliant HTML code and to warn the editor
+that he forgot to input certain WAI mandatory parameters (e.g. the alt tag
+for an image).
+<br /><br />
+
+<b>New Form Builder template</b>
+<br/>
+A new template allows the editor to easily create web forms. Such forms can
+automatically send a notification email to a certain user. The result of the
+form is also stored in the Jahia content reprository for possible further
reuse
+on other pages.
+<br /><br />
+
+
+<h2><a name="3" id="3"></a>New features in 4.5 M1</h2>
+<p><b>Full Workflow Refactoring</b> <b>+ Senseï support<br /></b>
+ The Jahia default workflow was fully refactored in order to support a
"No workflow" mode, a "N-Step Workflow" mode (which
replace
the previous 2 steps workflow mode) and an "External Workflow"
mode.
-The latter is already pre-integrated with the Sense� Business Processing

the
