Magnolia 3.5 Enterprise Edition Blossoms into International Market

Magnolia Enterprise Edition 3.5 has just been released. This version sports a more targeted focus on I18N, streamlined maintenance and integration for enterprises with an international focus.

To begin with, it is much easier to customize the offering. v3.5 includes a new configuration mechanism that enables you to build custom modules that, if you like, can replace certain Magnolia functionalities.

The offering’s complete modularization — another new feature — makes it possible to do this without affecting Magnolia’s default distribution.

Customizations may be parked in modules, which can be updated independently of Magnolia — meaning you can customize like a madman without hurting your upgradability.

I18N — the internationalization architecture — makes it possible to manage and publish content in multiple languages from one source (a non-convoluted form of single source CMS). This has been added as a default feature, but can be customized with custom translation workflows, par exemple.

It’s also easier to write output from existing applications — including Adobe ColdFusion, Freemarker or Apache Wicket — to Magnolia. Users can also validate input that originates from Magnolia without losing access to the complete set of data.

If this sounds interesting to you, give Enterprise Edition 3.5 a 60-day trial run at Magnolia’s expense.

A low-key variant, the Magnolia Community Edition (GPLv3 certified), is also available.
