AIDA/Web 6.0 second beta released

l

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Translation support for text on the web apps, to allow the multilingual text on the pages, besides multilingual content,
  3. 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
