ERP5 Live-CD 1.0rc11 released

I'm pleased to announce the availability of our new ERP5 Live CD version 1.0rc11.

Please download the CD image file from the following URL: http://www.nexedi.org/static/livecd/erp5-1.0rc11.iso

This version will be the last based on Mandriva 2006 (until no important bug found that can justify a new release). The next one will be based on Mandriva 2007.

Main change in this new version is the addition of oood, a standalone server based on openoffice.org and developped by Nexedi.

Here is the detailed change log:

Brand new openoffice.org-oood, a server for converting docs from other formats to OOo, generating pdf files, keeping unchangeable snapshots in pdf format, getting and setting metadata. It returns a file in a desired format; html files are zipped because they often consist of more than one file. This deamon is intended to be used with ERP5 Document business template, although it can be run standalone for any other client application.
New in ERP5: xhtml_style as default, dependancies issues are now auto-solved during BT5 installation, new BT5 (erp5_web, erp5_dms,...) + 8 months of hard work on core framework and Business Templates.
Update MySQL from 5.0.20 to 5.0.27: lots of Security enhancements and bug fixes. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-x.html for details.
Add MySQL NDB packages.
Move postfix chroot environnement to writable RAM media (/etc/postfix/chroot) because /var/spool/postfix/ is removed by mklivecd and postfix queue must be writable.
Update to latest Mandriva 2006 kernel (2.6.12-29) with NTFS R/W support.
Brand new openoffice 2.1.0.
Zelenium product added for TTW functionnal testing.
python-mechanize + ClientForm added for ERP5 benchmarks.
FCKeditor updated to version 2.2.
New TimerService build for better URL handling.
New patch on Photo zope product (thanks to Bartek).
Add memcached (and python-memcached) deamon and start it at boot to increase ERP5 performances.
Add schedutils 1.5.0 to be able to set the processor affinity of zope servers, as advised in the documentation of the Giant Interpreter Lock of python (see http://docs.python.org/api/threads.html for details).
Latest mozilla-firefox 1.5.0.7.
thttpd removed (use SSL apache instead).
Replace cervisia by kdesvn.
Add wireshark, ipython, libaio, pdftohtml, xpdf, bind-utils and htop.
Add Kafee JVM to speed up OpenOffice.
Don't run squid at boot.
Do not eject CD tray at reboot or stop (think of rebooting a distant machine...).
Use DHCP on eth0 as default at boot.
Start erp5cdtool deamon earlier in the boot process to solve bad hostname issues.
