Fellow Masonites,

After years of incubation, refinement and testing, the Bricolage developmen=
t team is thrilled to announce the release of Bricolage 2. The new Bricolag=
e boasts a sleeker interface, a wealth of new features for content authors =
and administrators, and a wider range of platform options.

This is the first major-version update since Bricolage 1.0 was released in =
2001. It=92s also the fastest, smartest, best-looking Bricolage yet. Downlo=
ad it today!

New features
------------

The interface: Bricolage 2 boasts a totally-revamped interface (based on the
[Prototype]" and [script.aculo.us] JavaScript frameworks). The amazingly-fl=
exible Bricolage approach to document editing is now also amazingly easy to=
 work with.  You can add fields (and groups of fields) to documents without=
 leaving your current screen. You can re-order elements by dragging them. W=
orking with categories and keywords is easier too, with search-as-you-type =
autocompletion. =


The back end: Bricolage 2 makes document definitions even more flexible, so=
 administrators can specify the minimum and maximum number of occurrences f=
or any field or subelement. Other highlights include native support for thu=
mbnail images, streamlined job and event tracking, and high-speed SFTP publ=
ishing.

The platform: The new Bricolage runs on both Apache 2 and Apache 1.3, and c=
an use either [PostgreSQL] (8.1+) or [MySQL] (5.0.3+) as its repository.

There are many, many more changes, features and improvements in Bricolage 2=
. For a complete list, see the [changelog]. For the complete history of ong=
oing changes in Bricolage, see [Bric::Changes]. Better yet, [download] [Bri=
colage 2] today, and see for yourself!
