Magnolia 3.5 Enterprise Edition final released - focus on
I18N, integration and ease-of-maintenance.
-----------------------------------------------

Basel, Switzerland and New York, NY – December 17, 2007

Magnolia International, a leading provider of content
management software, today announced the immediate
availability of Magnolia Enterprise Edition 3.5.

The new Magnolia 3.5 Enterprise Edition sets its focus on
I18N, new integration options and ease-of-maintenance -
features paramount for large-scale, international
enterprises.


INTERNATIONALIZATION

The new internationalization (I18N) architecture allows
content to be maintained and published in multiple languages
within a single structure. In typical Magnolia fashion, the
feature has been added at the core level with a simple
default implementation, and can be extended and customized
to suit specific needs.

In combination with Magnolia's powerful workflow engine,
custom translation work-flows can be defined to keep
multi-language-content in sync.


INTEGRATION

Magnolia has been streamlined to make integration with
existing frameworks and applications much easier.

This allows existing applications to write output to
Magnolia or validate input that stems from Magnolia, while
having access to the full set of Magnolia prepared data.

For instance, Adobe® ColdFusion®, Apache Wicket or
Freemarker have been used to publish content through
Magnolia.

These additions allow companies to reuse their existing
framework knowledge or applications while immediately
benefiting from the infrastructure Magnolia provides.


EASE-OF-MAINTENANCE

Magnolia has been completely modularized, and a new update
mechanism has been developed that makes updates powerful and
painless. Custom developments typically found in large-scale
Magnolia projects  easily benefit from this service.
Customizations can now reside in modules, which can be
updated independently of Magnolia.

At the same time this architecture allows Magnolia to
release functionality in smaller modules and provide updates
to these more often.

Other features in this category include a completely new
configuration mechanism that allows easy customization of
all parts of Magnolia. Combined with the
observation-features of Magnolia, this allows your custom
modules to completely replace existing behavior of many
parts of Magnolia if so desired. This can be achieved
without touching the original Magnolia distribution, and
without risking your upgradability of Magnolia.
