eZ

Architecturally, eZ Publish 5 is not a simple evolution but a revolution. eZ Publish 5 is based on the Symfony2 PHP framework and completely changes how you develop an eZ Publish website in a powerful and fun way. All versions of eZ Publish 5 take a dual-kernel approach that enables developers to work in both the “new stack” and the “legacy stack” at the same time. This ensures backwards compatibility and helps make the migration process to the new stack as smooth as possible.

This blog series is for existing eZ Publish 4 (or eZ Publish 5 legacy stack) users who are familiar with key eZ Publish concepts and are looking at migrating to the new stack in eZ Publish 5. In this series, we will explore how to migrate your legacy stack extensions to the new stack. We will explain the core new concepts and highlight the differences when compared to the legacy stack.

As part of our release processes at eZ, we continuously run load testing benchmarks on the platform to make sure it evolves in the right way.

You’re probably wondering  what I am talking about. Well, beginning of September was held the second edition of the eZ Summer Camp in Bol, Croatia.  I have read, heard, seen feedback of it, and I would love to go there next year.

Why?

Most of you use github daily and maybe Gist. Gist is a very simple solution to share code with others. And now it's available on your platform share.ez.no

Leading eZ Publish advocates look at what lies ahead for CMS programmers and users.

There are a variety of options when it comes to content management. We’ve explored Drupal a bit, and in this email interview I talked to some folks who work with eZ Publish. It is an open source (with commercial options) CMS written in PHP. Brandon Chambers and Greg McAvoy-Jensen talk about how the platform acts as a content management framework, how being open source has affected the project, and what we should expect to see coming up for CMS in general.

The second eZ UnConference took place in Montpellier, France last week and was a great success. It is always great fun to meet eZ Community members in person and share our experiences. Most of the talks were of course about the new eZ Publish 5 Platform, which should not surprise anyone. Representing the product management team, I gave a talk about how to explore the eZ Publish REST v2 API through a browser using Apigee Console To-Go. The slides from my presentation are available here

This great event is now one week behind us. These intense three days of UnConf passed very quickly, but there is so much to say about it so it’s now time to wrap it up with a recap, slides and pictures!  

We are proud to announce the release of eZ Publish 5.1 -- codename Stadda. This new release is the result of yet another 6 months development cycle, following the usual eZ Publish development cycles.

Last week, I announced that Ixonos had decided to support the UnConference with a Gold Sponsorship. Now, we have the pleasure to welcome SensioLabs on the Sponsor lane. It looks like this original venue attracts more and more people!
