As you might know from our release strategy our "dot oh" versions do not introduce new and groundbreaking features like the they often do on other software products. Instead they are the beginning point for a new OpenWGA base stream, which means that we will support that very version for three years to come since release date.

It also means that we will be saying goodbye to the good ol' dragon logo of OpenWGA 5 and welcome the fresh new shark logo seen above, that will represent the new OpenWGA 6 platform.

Those few methods of clientside JavaScript, already shown on the OpenWGA cheat sheet are now also explained in the new JavaScript reference, available in the OpenWGA documentation library.

These JavaScript functionalities are automatically loaded into every WebTML page by the <tml:htmlhead> tag (included in virtually every HTML design for OpenWGA).

Among other things they help you to:

  • Call WebTML actions from clientside JavaScript
  • Register JavaScript functions for some events on WebTML pages, portlets
  • Execute JSON requests in a comfortable way
Explore and enjoy!

A note for users of Oracle database servers: From 5.5.2 on the OpenWGA Content Store for Oracle will use the datatype "CLOB" instead of the deprecated type "LONG" for long text columns. The new DDLs can be retrieved in the enterprise edition supply package. The corresponding issue shows a migration path to convert existing content stores on the Oracle platform to the new format.

Find the complete list of addressed issues for 5.5.2 in our issue tracker.

Again there is no new base stream release this time as no issues for this stream were reported on the past month.

See the addressed issues on the OpenWGA issue tracker.

There is no maintenance release for 5.0 this time because no issues were reported for this release stream in the past month.

]]> 7 Feb 2012 23:46:23 GMT Oliver Weise ff808081343342a201343d4c3ecc1abc OpenWGA 5.5 released! http://www.openwga.com/blog/openwga/archives/2011-12/openwga_55_released.int.html We said we would release in the first days of December, so here finally we do in the first ... half of it. Anyway, OpenWGA 5.5 plus OpenWGA Developer Studio 1.5 is now out and we are looking forward to see both in action at our customers. Get them from the downloads.

See here whats new in 5.5.

Arguably the biggest thing in 5.5 is the Basic Website Kit, giving everyone the ability to create OpenWGA websites without building them from scratch. We have put together a little tutorial about how to get started with this.

Of course we also have updated the general documentation for 5.5, including a minimal upgrade guide at which you might want to throw a glance before updating.

Oh yes, and as you may have also noticed by now: Our website now looks a bit different. Less blue, less clutter. We like it and hope you will too. But the main structure and contents of the site mainly stayed the same, so the known resources should still be found at the known places.

]]> 7 Nov 2011 11:54:35 GMT Oliver Weise ff8080813303315f01331c410f0b71f1 About OpenWGA 5.5 http://www.openwga.com/blog/openwga/archives/2011-10/about_openwga_55.int.html OpenWGA 5.4 is about 2 and a half months old, so it's about time we talk about the next feature release that is coming up.

Unfortunately - at least for OpenWGA development - we had our share of busy times across the last months so we weren't able to progress in features as fast as we would have wanted to. Because of this we will have to break our usual 3-months-schedule for feature releases this time and add an extra month. We therefor plan to release OpenWGA 5.5 in the first days of December 2011.

However, we again have some very exciting things cooking for this release. So let's have a sneak peak at them.
