Release Note for Nuxeo 5.2 RC
Functional Improvements
Search Center: New, advanced search feature that allows the
interactive construction and manipulation of search parameters plus
the ability to save searches for future use.
Annotations/Image Editing: Documents in popular office formats
(including MS Office, Open Office, and PDF) as well as image files can
be annotated. Both the location of the annotation and the comment
provided can be seen by other users. These annotations are stored in
Annotea format, an emerging W3C standard that is part of the Semantic
Web effort. Basic editing of image documents-such as cropping and
rotating-is now provided within the Nuxeo UI and without needing to
open the document.
Web Workspaces: Each workspace now can be “published” to the web with
a single click. The resulting “mini-site” can be configured to include
any documents in the workspace as well as its appearance to remote
users manipulated from within the Nuxeo application.
Windows Sharepoint Services: Nuxeo now can act as a Windows Sharepoint
Server (using the WSS protocol). This enables enhanced functionality
from within Windows office applications (like Word or Excel) such as
the ability to invite other users to see the document and the ability
to manipulate access control parameters with the application.
Virtual Navigation: Nuxeo now ships with the ability navigate the
repository along many dimensions, not just in a simple heirarchy. For
example, it is possible to navigate through the repository based on
the geographic area that a document refers to. These axes can be
defined by the user through Nuxeo’s ‘Vocabularies’ feature.
Theme Editor: It is now possible to customize the theme of your Nuxeo
installation - such as images, backgrounds, colors, fonts - directly
through the system’s web interface.
Document Conversion: When deployed with Open Office, Nuxeo now can
convert many kinds of documents to PDF or HTML without needing the
application that created the document.
Direct Email Access: Nuxeo can now retreive content directly from an
email account, allowing easy integration with project management
systems or other tools that want to use Nuxeo to create an “archive”
of content.
Auditing: Nuxeo now can keep track of all changes to a document over
the Document’s lifetime, so that this trail can be viewed by
authorized users.
Technical Improvements
Repository back end choices: Nuxeo now ships with support for both the
Java Content Repository standard (JCR, or JSR 170) and our own new
document store, the Visible Content Store. VCS, for the users that
choose, it, stores documents in an underlying database in more natural
and understandable way, easing integration with Business Intelligence
Reporting Tools (BIRT) or other systems that operate at the database
level. Both backends now work with the same query model, easing
transitions.
Management/monitoring: Nuxeo now ships with modules that allow Nuxeo
to be managed and monitored via the Java Management Extensions (JMX).
JBPM Workflow: Nuxeo now uses a robust and scalable workflow engine
based on Java Business Process Modeling (JBPM) techonology. All of
Nuxeo’s default workflows are themselves now using JBPM.
Simpler Event Model: Although compatibility has been preserved, Nuxeo
now has a simpler event model that unifies both the JMS (Java
Messaging Service) and Nuxeo’s internal event systems. All of Nuxeo
itself is now using this new Event system.
Search uses full-text engine of databases: When using Nuxeo with a
relational database that can do efficient full-text indexing and
searching (such as Oracle or PostgresQL) the database’s native full
text storage/retrieval engine is used. This should give faster and
better results for most client applications.
Web Engine: Nuxeo now ships with another way to develop custom
applications based on the Nuxeo repository, the Nuxeo Web Engine. This
is a standards-based tool for developing content-focused, web
applications that mix Nuxeo’s Service Oriented Architecture and
Document Management capabilities with advanced web techniques based on
JAX-RS (JSR 311).
Deployment
Supported containers for Nuxeo Components: Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede),
JBoss 4.2.3
Web Application Servers supported by WebEngine: JBoss 4.2.3, Glassfish
V3, Jetty 6
Java Virtual Machines supported: Java 5 JDK for development and
deployment, Java 6 JDK for deployment
Supported Databases for Nuxeo EP: PostgresQL, Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL
Server (although known to work with many others)
