Since a few days there is the first release candidate of the 2.0b8 DeepaMehta Version available, we would like to invite every interested developer or experienced user to download this pre-release and report his experience with the new application functionalities and the extended collaboration features.

newly integrated:

  • simplified installation (now it is not longer a must to have a mysql server and ant configured)
  • new standard application “Group Calendar” (Weekview, Monthview, Appointments, Events, Participants and Places)
  • extended collaboration features (joint action on Topic content possible through two new membership roles “Publisher” and “Editor”)
  • for application developers an extended HTML Info Generator

Shortly after the final version will be released, the new functionalities will be available on the DeepaMehta demoserver.

Here are additional infos about the installation on Windows machines, cause of missing installation routine for Windows OS.
