Hi there, Finally ! Magnolia CMS 4.5 is available ! Since a lot of work went into the release, as well as byproducts of it (videos, documentation, what have you), 4.5.1 is also already available. We recommend you jump to 4.5.1 directly.
This release provides a big update on templating, mobile support, and security; it's now based on Java 6, JCR 2.0, ships with JackRabbit 2.4, and offers support for IoC everywhere. To upgrade, you will first need to update your project(s) to 4.4.6. Migration is a though nut to crack on this one, and as such, we are offering three things: * bundles - the upgrades are tested. If your projects are "just" a deployed bundle (CE or EE), replacing it with a 4.5.1 should be a breeze. * project upgrades - we are currently in the process of migrating our own projects (documentation, forum, website, …); we're learning from that process ourselves and are working on improving migration documentation and scripts we provide to our users. * migration workshops - in the coming weeks, we will try to organize a workshop, or a webinar, or both or more, to help *you* migrate *your* project. Stay tuned !
