Jahia 4.0.6 and 4.1 Final Releases are now available

The Jahia 4.0.6 and 4.1 Final Releases are now available for download !

The complete installation builds and two migration scripts are now 
available in the Jahia download area ( http://www.jahia.org/download ).

The sixth service pack (Jahia 4.0.6) contains several bug fixes. The most 
significant ones include added support for LDAP dynamic groups, several 
fixes in the WebDAV File repository and HTML cache improvements. We 
strongly encourage all existing Jahia users to upgrade to this release as 
soon as possible as it corrects several critical bugs in the Jahia kernel. 
Please also note that a new Jahia taglib documentation with many code 
examples is now available. In addition, new material has been added to the 
Template Developer Guide. Please go to http://www.jahia.org/doc to download 
the latest versions.

Jahia 4.1 includes all the bug fixes from Jahia 4.0.6 + some new features 
and functional enhancements. Since they required major changes to the Jahia 
kernel and to the database model, a new release was preferred over 
packaging them directly with the 4.0.6 patch. The most important change is 
the migration to <http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/>Apache Slide 2.2 for the 
file repository (instead of Slide 1.x as before). A validation framework 
(based on the <http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/dev_validator.html>Apache 
Struts Validator Framework) has also been added to allow you to implement 
validation tests in the Jahia engines (mandatory fields, field restricted 
to 20 characters, etc). A partial search refactoring (which will be 
finalized in Jahia 4.5) now indexes the MS Office and PDF files properties. 
Finally Jahia now includes some new Blogging templates and supports the 
<http://xmlrpc.free-conversant.com/docs/bloggerAPI>Blogger API, the 
<http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi>MetaWeblog API and the 
<http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/docs/mtmanual_programmatic.html>MovableType 
API, so you can choose any blog client application compatible with at least 
one of these three APIs to edit and post directly your weblogs on your 
Jahia server. Information about how to configure your client application 
can be found 
<http://www.jahia.org/download/jahia4/4_1/stable/bloginstall.html>here.

In summary, you have the choice of just applying the bug fixes (Jahia 
4.0.6) or extending your Jahia in order to support all the new features 
(Jahia 4.1). Jahia 4.0.6 is free of charge for all Jahia 4.0 users. No 
upgrade contract required.  Jahia 4.1 is only available for customers with 
a valid upgrade contract. If you need a new license key in order to upgrade 
to Jahia 4.1 (a new default unlimited 60 days trial key is provided with 
the upgrade script so that you can continue to perform tests or to use the 
system after the upgrade), please send an email to 
<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] with a copy of your previous 
Jahia 4.0 key. Please note that Jahia 4.1 is currently considered as the 
latest stable edition of the program.
