Ciao 3.x

It's done. We loved it, they stop it. Bye bye eZPublish 3.x series...

Yes, a bit sad but how good for developpers ! There were some features that eZSystems improved in the 3.x and which made this great software a more evolutive and scalable software for everyone. Here are the features I remember the most :

3.6

  • LDAP handler : connect eZPublish on a LDAP directory and to automatically create users in the eZ subtree.
  • Reverse features : get the objects which are relating the current object.
  • Remove subtree : useful to delete entire subtree.

3.7

  • Siteaccess settings in the extensions : you can put siteaccess settings in the extension. It allows you to design reusable extensions, overriding standards.
  • Developpement Mode : in dev mode it's not necessary to clear cache at each time...

3.8

  • Internationalisation : it is possible to translate any content in any language without having a content reference translated in a given language.
  • Clustering : you can put several instance of eZ on several hosts to share the load.
  • Group approval for workflows.
  • Serialization for all datatypes.
  • eZInfo() function for extensions.

3.9

  • Auto upload for files in Online Editor.
  • Diff.

And now ?

Some upcoming goodies for us ! Version 3.10.1 and 4.0.1 will be updated and 4.1 is announced for Q3. It seems that eZ gets behind...

No ?

1. Dead

Yes, but as described in :
http://ez.no/developer/news/ez_publish_4_0_1rc2_3_10_1rc2_released

The release of 3.10 will be the last one for the 3.x series...

2. 3.x dead or not...

Nice summary on last eZ releases...
But strange to write "version 3.x id dead" and "3.10.1 will be updated" in the same blog entry. (Just joking)
