Release candidate of OpenEMM 2011 available

The first release candidate of all-new OpenEMM 2011 is now available at SourceForge:

sf.net/projects/openemm/files/OpenEMM%20software/OpenEMM%202011.

OpenEMM 2011 comes with a fresh and state-of-the-art user interface to improve usability (see screenshots at our Facebook page) and a long list of new features like various improvements for the CMS module and to the import wizard, dynamic templates, a tag validator, a link checker or the user activity log. For the full list of features and bug fixes please have a look at the ChangeLog file.

Since the web container used by OpenEMM was changed from Resin to Tomcat, it is NOT possible to use the online update feature of OpenEMM to update from version 6.2 (or an older version) to 2011. However, after you have switched to RC1 the online update will work again and you will be able to update to the final release of 2011 and later versions.

In any case, please read file UPDATE.txt in directory /home/openemm after the update to finish the update process successfully - even if no warning or error message has been reported.

The OpenEMM Install Guide has been revised and has all information on how to manually upgrade from 6.2 (or an older version) to 2011. You will find the latest OpenEMM Install Guide here:
