Dear community,
Nuxeo is happy to announce the Release Candidate of Nuxeo 5.4.2.
You can download the packages from:
http://community.nuxeo.com/static/rc/nuxeo-5.4.2-RC1/
This is a pre-release of the upcoming 5.4.2 version of Nuxeo DM / Nuxeo EP. All
new features are included, but we plan
to do some polishing and bug fixes over the next couple of weeks before we
release the final version.
So if you are interested in Nuxeo 5.4.2 new features, it's time to give it a
try and send us feedback.
Detailed list of tasks resolved for 5.4.2-RC:
https://jira.nuxeo.com/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10011&version=11318
At a glance, here are the main changes compared to 5.4.1:
## New User Interface layout
The default JSF UI has been reorganized in 3 main tabs:
- Document management: the standard UI for browsing and managing the document
repository.
- Admin Center: access to all the administration screens (including the Update
Center).
- Home: user personal settings.
There are two main goals for that reorganization:
- limit the number of links in the top bar,
- easily provide additionnal views on the content (typically, DAM, CMF and
Correspondence will soon come as new tabs
next to Document Management).
As part of this UI work, the User management screens have been refactored.
## New Dashboard
The OpenSocial integration has been reworked based on the new GWT OpenSocial
container contributed by Damien's team from
Leroy Merlin
(http://blogs.nuxeo.com/marketing/2011/03/nuxeo-case-study-an-intranet-portal-for-leroy-merlin.html).
This new dashboard is faster than the previous one and provides more gadgets
and layout options.
In terms of infrastructure, OpenSocial gadgets can now use Automation REST API
to fetch their content, and it's now far
easier to create your own gadgets.
In addition, Nuxeo is now completely integrated with OAuth:
- you can integrate external gadgets in Nuxeo,
- you can use Nuxeo gadgets in an external container (like Confluence, Jira 4,
iGoogle, ...).
See documentation at https://doc.nuxeo.com/x/HgFV
## Content Views
All document listings and search results are now aligned on Content Views to
allow easy configuration from Studio.
Default Content Views now include:
- filtering options,
- export options (RSS, ATOM, CSV, Excel, PDF).
See documentation at https://doc.nuxeo.com/x/FQ4z
## WSS and WebDAV
The new WSS connector is now based on WebDAV (the previous one was using
FrontPage RPC) so that it can be used with
recent versions of MS Windows and MS Office.
This new connector is the result of the merge of the WSS plugin with the JAX-RS
based WebDav plugin.
Thanks to this new connector you can now Map your Nuxeo repository as a Drive
under MS Windows or Mac OS X.
This was made possible thanks to the guys from Gagnavarslan
(http://gagnavarslan.is/?page_id=32) that probably spent
hours with WireShark trying to make the WSS connector work with most recent
versions of Windows and kindly contributed
their hard work.
In order to workaround the authentication issue on recent windows without
having to use HTTP or Windows native
authentication, we had to add HTTP DIGEST auth support.
This connector has been successfully tested with several configurations, but
your feedback and tests will be greatly
appreciated.

## Mixin support in VCS
Nuxeo Document Repository (VCS) now supports mixins: you can dynamically add a
schema to an existing Document instance.
This is an extension to the facet system:
- facets can now be defined on a per-instance basis,
- facets can now be associated with schema.
More information at https://jira.nuxeo.com/browse/NXP-6084
## New system properties for the CMIS interface
In addition to the system properties defined in the CMIS specification under
the cmis: prefix, Nuxeo EP adds a couple of
additional properties under the nuxeo: prefix.
See documentation at
https://doc.nuxeo.com/x/JIAO#CMISforNuxeo-NuxeospecificSystemProperties
## Local configuration
Local configuration is a new service that leverages the new mixin support to
store some configuration directly on the
documents.
This is now used in the default DM UI so that you can configure at Domain or
Workspace level what Document types,
themes, content views should be available.

http://blogs.nuxeo.com/dev/2011/05/localconfigurationservice.html
## New OS independent installers
The installers have be rewritten to be multi-platform compliant.
We aim at providing easier install process, better OS and desktop integration,
and similar behaviors from an operating
systems to another.
Based on IzPack (http://izpack.org/), they are currently available as JAR
executable files for all platforms, EXE for
Windows. Maybe soon as JNLP (Java Web Start) and APP (Mac OS X).
We would be glad to have your feedback on this too.
## New Drag and Drop
Nuxeo DM now includes support for HTML 5 Drag and Drop.
This means that if you use a decent browser (FF 3.6+, Chrome 9+, Safari 5+) you
can now import files via Drag and Drop
without any additional plugin.
This new import feature can be easily configured in order to choose what
Content Automation Operation will be executed
to create Documents from the uploaded files.
