Magnolia Organization releases Magnolia 2.1, turning the
leading open-source JSR-170 Enterprise Content Management
System into an Enterprise Suite
Basel (Switzerland), September 5th 2005
Magnolia Organization is proud to release Magnolia 2.1, a
major update to the Magnolia Enterprise Content Management
System (ECM). Magnolia 2.1 provides a host of new features
and turns the leading JSR-170 based content management
system into an Enterprise Suite.
Magnolia 2.1 speaks 15 major languages, including English,
Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, German, Spanish and
Portuguese. It contains numerous new features: native
search, XML-based import/export, a new cross-browser
rich-text editor and drop-in single container deployment
amongst others.
Magnolia 2.1 combines advantages of web-based software -
like zero client installation - with the outstanding
usability of desktop software. All functions can easily be
activated in context sensitive menus or via drag'n'drop.
"With this release, Magnolia has finished the transition
from a pure Content Management System to the foundation of a
complete Enterprise Suite" says Pascal Mangold, CEO of
obinary, the company that ignited Magnolia and finances most
of its development.
Magnolia for Web Content 2.1. is the first member of the
newly created Magnolia Suite. The Suite's foundation is the
Magnolia Server, a framework for developing JSR-170 based
software that is powerful, easy-to-use, standards-compliant
and flexible.
Several new applications are in the works to complete the
Magnolia Suite, amongst them Magnolia For Documents and
Magnolia For Business Processes, two commercially licensed
additions to the otherwise open-source Magnolia suite.
Magnolia sports an active international developer community
lead by obinary, Switzerland, and is used throughout the
world by corporations of any size and in any business.
Professional support and training is available through
Magnolia Organization and a growing network of
industry-leading certified Magnolia Partners.
Most notable new features:
* full I18N support - delivered with 15 major languages
* native search
* import/export of XML based data
* supports several JSR-170 compliant repository
implementations, including the Open Source implementations
"Jackrabbit" and "Jeiceira" as well as commercial
alternatives.
* improved performance through 70% reduction in number
of nodes compared to Magnolia 2.0
* simple war-file drop-in deployment on any J2EE
container
* run as many Magnolia sites as you like within a single
J2EE container for cost-effective hosting
* choice of two leading cross-browser rich-text editors
- Kupu and fckEditor
* vastly improved module mechanism to provide for
flexible and easy extensibility
Magnolia 2.1 is available immediately and free-of-charge at
http://www.magnolia.info/. An online demonstration can be
