Nuxeo EP 5.1.4 released

We’ve recently released Nuxeo EP 5.1.4.

You can download Nuxeo EP 5.1.4 as a pure Java installer, as a tgz or a zip (for headless installation) or as a Windows installer (new in 5.1.4!).

What’s included?

Theses packages all include the fully functional Nuxeo EP platform, including:

• the Nuxeo Runtime, which provides the foundation of the Nuxeo components and services based architecture (based on OSGi)
• the Nuxeo Core, which provides APIs to core services such as document storage, security, import/export, etc.
• the Nuxeo Service Platform, which provides APIs to higher lever services such as search, relations, directories, workflow, publishing, audit, image management, syndication, comments, forum, etc.
• the Nuxeo Enterprise Platform (EP), which is a web application built on top of the Service Platform, and includes Nuxeo Theme, a powerful WYSIWYG theming engine developed by Jean-Marc Orliaguet.
• the JBoss application server and all necessary third-party libraries.

What’s not included and how do I get it?

Some packages are considered as add-ons, either because they are still a little too “fresh” for general availability, or because they implement functionalities that we believe won’t be useful to the majority of users.

These currently include the WebDAV server, advanced transformers for MS-Office documents, specific login modules for various authentication systems (NTLM, CAS2, mod_sso…), etc.

You will find them on this page:

How can I get help?

First, start by browsing the documentation on our new documentation wiki, doc.nuxeo.org.

If you need more help, or if you’d like to comment or contribute, please join the mailing list or the forum.

Who should I thank?

This release is brought to you by the Nuxeo development team, which includes around 20 Nuxeo employees as well as several external contributors.

Of invaluable help also are all the customers and more generally users of the Nuxeo platform, specially those who took the time to provide feedback via the mailing list, the forum or he Jira.

What’s coming up next?

We’re already busy working on both Nuxeo 5.1.5 (stable branch) and Nuxeo 5.2 (development branch).

Expect new stable releases (5.1.x) about once per month. New add-ons will also be created and released in parallel to the stable releases.

A Nuxeo 5.2 development release is planned later this spring.
