The MMBase developers team is proud to present the long awaited final Release of MMBase-1.7.0 (only just a few days after MMBase as an open source project turned 4, 3 april).
This is the first release in which a lot of functionality has been seperated from the core and put into applications. This process will continue after this release. The core will become smaller and MMBase wil become more modular.
Other highlights are:
- completely rewritten storage layer - new query framework - media application - a lot of new taglib features (see documentation for more info)
For more new features/bugfixes/etc see releasenotes inside the zip.
Because a lot of bugs have been fixed since the previous release, you are advised to upgrade your existing installations. Please refer to the upgrade.txt file for information.
MMBase is distributed in two different 'flavours', mmbase-src and mmbase. First is the source distribution and the second is the binary distribution.
The binary distribution's target users are end-users and first-time users. It contains a working hsqldb database and applications (including builders) needed for the examples can be installed.
The source distribution's target users are developers who like to start building their own MMBase.
The final release can be downloaded from <http://www.mmbase.org/download>.
Thanks to everybody who made this release possible.
