100% Open Source Release (1.2.1) now available!

[paulhh]

We would like to announce that the completely, 100% Open Source  Release of Alfresco is now available (V1.2.1).  This release brings into the Community version all the "enterprise" functionality, including: groups, LDAP and Active Directory integration, single sign-on and high-availability (clustering & replication).  There are also a couple of enhancements for search.

There are full installers for Windows and Linux.  These include everything you need to run Alfresco (Java, MySQL, Tomcat, OpenOffice) in a wizard-based install.

All downloads are on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373

Release notes for V1.2.1 can be found in our wiki here: http://www.alfresco.org/mediawiki/index.php/Release_1.2.1

Please see http://www.alfresco.com if you are interested in the fully supported Enterprise Network.

Thank you again for your continued support,

The Alfresco Team.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It will take at least 24 hours for SourceForge to update its mirrors for the downloads to become available! Suggest you try the European SourceForge mirrors first as they appear to update faster.

Hi Simon

The 1.2.1 Enterprise version has been available for sometime.  You should have received notice of this.  There is a dedicated Alfresco server for customers and partners that contains the latest Enterprise downloads and other materials, for which your company should have an account.

The logic was that there are no bug fixes in the community release, as LDAP functionality was not in 1.2.0 Community.

Please get in contact if you need more detail.

Cheers
Paul.

Hi Russ

We have updated the main site with more background on what "support" means (http://www.alfresco.com/services/support/).  In your case, you should be able to get help on your code extension - if that's not happening, you should feel free to escalate it (via the support routes). 

To date, we have been trying to scale up to demand by allowing partners to provide professional services.  In some exceptional cases, we will make engineers available for contracted work.

Cheers
Paul.
