AIDA/Web 6.0 second beta released
Dear Smalltalkers,
That time with a considerable more fresh meat and on both Squeak+friends and VisualWorks, a second beta of Aida/Web 6.0 web framework and application server is released.
To download it visit our renewed website http://www.aidaweb.si.
With that beta we also changed the direction: now the 6.0 won't be just a companion of Scribo CMS but a standalone release with support of tree-like control flow, so that this release will really deserve a major number jump from 5.6 to 6.0.
Here are just 3 most important new features in that beta:
- Introduction of web execution contexts as a step towards tree-like control flow. These contexts give a scope to the "execution" of web request and are the precondition for controlling this flow of execution.
- Translation support for text on the web apps, to allow the multilingual text on the pages, besides multilingual content,
- Caching (memcached like) to improve performance of serving the content, which otherwise doesn't change frequently.
But much more in release notes: http://www.aidaweb.si/release-notes-6.0.html
Best regards
