Alkacon Software has finished work on the beta 3 release of OpenCms 6.0. This is the last beta release for OpenCms 6.0, end of May 2005 the first 6.0 release candidate will be available.
The most important new features in this beta 3 release:
When will the "final" release of OpenCms 6.0 be available?
End of Q2/2005. You can help speeding up the process of development by providing feedback for this release and the following releases, especially regarding bugs. In case you find any bug, please use the OpenCms bugzilla to document it, or at least post a note to the opencms-dev mailing list. The more feedback and code contributions are made, the faster we can fix the issues and finish the development.
Who should use this 6.0 beta 3 version?
This is a beta version. Please don't expect it to be perfectly stable.
Having said that, we believe that this 6.0 beta 3 version is certainly stable enough to be used in a production system. It's likely to be more stable than the current "stable" 5.0.1 release. The main reason for still being in "beta" status is that we want to fully re-write the Workplace "Administration" view before we announce 6.0 as finished.
If and how you should use this version depends on what your goals are:
TODO list to be finished before OpenCms 6.0 is released:
