OCEE version 2.1.3 / 1.0.19

August 18, 2010

This OCEE release is an important update that fixes a number of potential issues that persisted in the last release.

The most important features in OCEE 2 are:

• Support for multi-staging scenarios with the OCEE Replicator: You can configure a "development" server that first pushes all generated content to a "staging" server e.g. for approval, and then afterwards to the "delivery" server. This is freely configurable, and there is no limit on the number of stages.
• Centralized configuration of servers with the OCEE Cluster: You can now edit the scheduled jobs, search index configuration and module parameters for all individual servers in the cluster from a common GUI in the workplace server.
• Support for OpenCms OUs in the LDAP Connector: It is now possible to connect each OpenCms OU with an individual path in the LDAP Server.
• Improved performance with the OCEE Accelerator: A much improved cache policy in the Accelerator now selectively flushes only certain cached items after a publish instead of just flushing everything.

Please note that these features are exclusively available in OCEE version 2 for OpenCms 7.0 / 7.5. The release of OCEE version 1 for OpenCms 6 only contains some minor fixes.

We recommend all OCEE users to upgrade their OpenCms installation to this lastest version.

The release has the following version numbers:
