Nuxeo 5.1 Release Candidate released

We have just released Nuxeo EP 5.1.RC, the release candidate before Nuxeo 5.1.0 which we plan to release next week.

It is available as an auto-installer.

Download Nuxeo Enterprise Platform 5.1.RC3 (93 MB)

And also as a zip.

Besides all the bugfixes and technical improvements, the major new functionalities since the M3 milestone are:

Multi-servers deployment
REST API
XML-based Import / Export for documents and repositories
New URL system

You need to install OpenOffice.org separately (by following these instructions) if you want to get the benefits of MS-Office or ODF documents indexing and transformation to PDF.

Now the development team is focussing on fixing bugs and polishing the final release, due to be available next week.

If you’d like to help with testing or bugfixing, your input is very welcome (see the community section on this site to get started).
