This is a Content Management System built on Python & itools, among other features ikaaro provides:
- content and document management (index&search, metadata, etc.) - multilingual user interfaces and content - high level modules: wiki, forum, tracker, etc. This release has seen the major changes in the user interface for a long time. Most notably the backoffice is now integrated into the frontoffice. When the user logs in the application, the backoffice interfaces appear. A number of changes have been made to satisfy this new approach. In particular the backoffice interfaces are lighter. For instance the two level drop down menu has been replaced by a discrete flat menu. Another example, now the right column, instead of being always visible, contains context menus that appear or dissappear depending on the resource & view being displayed. The internationalization and localization of the user interfaces has also been considerably improved. For example now there is a global language selector, available in both the front and back office modes. And several components are multilingual now, like the HTML editor (TinyMCE [1]) and the tracker tables. Some other features have been added to the issue tracker. First, a calendar has been integrated, in order to track resources attached to an issue. Another important change, there is a new field called 'Products', and now modules and versions are classified by product (inspiration from bugzilla [2]). Many other changes have been made to the user interface, too many to enumerate them here. The application behaviour is also more respectful of the REST [3] paradigm. For instance now there are much less redirections than before. However, it is probably the changes under the hood that are most important. Specifically the architecture changes concerning the way a resource view is built. Before a view was a resource method, simple enough but not very scalable. Now a view is a class in itself, what enhances the possibilities of code refactoring. Again, the changes to the programming interface are too many to enumerate here. See the upgrade notes for more.
