| − | =Release plan and roadmap for OpenCms 7=
| + | |
| − | (Posted to opencms-dev by Alex Kandzior, 2006-11-30)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | OpenCms 7 is currently under heavy development. All development is done using the [http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/development/cvs.html public OpenCms CVS] in the "DEV_7_0" branch. The development is done by Alkacon Software with contributions from the OpenCms community.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Preliminary list of features for OpenCms 7:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * The internal link management will be greatly improved.
| + | |
| − | * If files (or folders) are moved / renamed, all links to these files will be kept intact.
| + | |
| − | * Deleting a resource that is linked by other resources will display a warning / confirmation dialog.
| + | |
| − | * A permalink handler for resources will be available for external references in case a resource is moved or renamed.
| + | |
| − | * Link management support will be added in editors for standard HTML tags 'area', 'object' & 'embed'.
| + | |
| − | * The new "Content Relationship Engine" (CRE) will allow defining arbitrary relations between OpenCms resources.
| + | |
| − | * Native support for [[WebDAV access to the OpenCms VFS]] will be added.
| + | |
| − | * The integrated Workflow will be greatly improved.
| + | |
| − | * The new Workflow will ship with standard Workflows (e.g. 6-eye-confirm) but will be easily extensible for more complex Workflows.
| + | |
| − | * It will be possible to attach external Workflow engines (e.g. JBPM) using a new Workflow API.
| + | |
| − | * Publishing of resources will be done using a queue, so a user can continue to work after publishing has started.
| + | |
| − | * The concept of "Organization Units" (OUs) will be added to the internal user management.
| + | |
| − | * It will be possible to delegate management of users / groups in OUs to Sub-Administrators.
| + | |
| − | * A "switch user" (su) function for Administrators in the OpenCms Workplace will be available.
| + | |
| − | * Many usability improvements for the OpenCms Workplace will be made, especially concerning the handling of other users locks.
| + | |
| − | * Many dialogs in the OpenCms Workplace will be more responsive because of the use of Ajax technologies.
| + | |
| − | * The full text search will be greatly improved so that individual resource properties or fields from an XML content can be searched directly.
| + | |
| − | * A "time warp" feature in the Workplace allows users to view resources with date expired / date released settings.
| + | |
| − | * Auto correction for structured XML contents will allow changes to the XML schema of existing resources.
| + | |
| − | * A search tool will be available for content managers in the Workplace.
| + | |
| − | * JSP 2.0 and Servlet 2.4 will be used by default.
| + | |
| − | * The core database structure will be optimized.
| + | |
| − | * Improved documentation will be provided.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Please note that this preliminary feature list of OpenCms 7 is subject to change until we reach the "Release Candidate" stage (please see below). Keep
| + | |
| − | in mind that most development on OpenCms 7 is sponsored by customers. That means some features may be dropped and other features may be added until the
| + | |
| − | feature freeze.

| − | ==OpenCms 7 release plan==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Alpha and Beta releases of OpenCms 7 will be available in the public CVS only. These releases will not be feature complete, and the core API will be
