Press release from: Alkacon Software GmbH

Web Content Management System OpenCms 8 is becoming stable.

The new OpenCms 8 contains a greatly improved user interface for content managers and numerous other enhancements. The "Advanced Direct Edit" mode allows content managers to create page content by drag & drop. The new sitemap editor allows creating new pages and rearranging the navigation tree by drag & drop.

OpenCms 8.0.1 is a maintenance release that fixes a number of issues that persisted in the initial release of OpenCms 8. Some new features have been added as well.

The sitemap and ADE configuration has been greatly simplified and improved. The properties of a page can now be modified directly in the ADE editor and a "log out" option has been added to the its menu.

In the sitemap editor there is a new option to go back to the last page viewed in the ADE editor. Moreover the sitemap editor now displays the lock status of pages and sub-pages and handles lock conflicts.

The full text search now also works on MS Office Open XML based documents (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx).

To demonstrate a possible multi language setup, German content was added to the Template III flower showcase.

OpenCms 8 is fully backward compatible to all prior 7.x versions. Templates and other OpenCms developed code from version 7.0 or 7.5 should work "out of the box" with version 8.

An easy to use update wizard is available, too.
