Alfresco 1.4 Community Release available

[paulhh]

We would like to announce that the V1.4 Community Release of Alfresco is now available.  This release introduces a number of new features, including:

- Business Process Managment (jBPM integration)
- Audit Trail
- Open Document Format support
- Enhanced JavaScript API
- Much greater performance and stability under high loads
- My Alfresco Dashboard
- Virtual Custom Desktop executables

There are database schema changes, details are in the release notes.

The default configuration for all the bundles is HSQL, rather than MySQL.  There are instructions that can be found after installation that explain how to easily revert to MySQL.

We are experimenting with a new open source cross-platform installer (InstallJammer), so feedback on experiences with it are appreciated.  We plan to extend the capabilities of installers if feedback is good.

The open source version is available to download at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373

Release notes for V1.4 can be found in our wiki here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Release_1.4

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

Thank you again for your continued support,

The Alfresco Team.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It seems to take at least 24 hours for SourceForge to update its mirrors for the downloads to become available!

I have been trying for the last day or so to download the tomcat tar or zip file and cannot find a sourceforge mirror that works. Has anyone figured out what is preventing download of alfresco-community-tomcat-1.4.0.tar.gz ?

Generally the European mirrors will pickup the files first. For instance this one is working:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/alfresco/alfresco-community-tomcat-1.4.0.tar.gz?use_mirror=kent

Thanks,

Kevin

Now that we all could get the download: Would you please Announce too which version number in the public repository is identical to the version released as 1.4.0?
This was promised in a discussion about Version 1.3, and it should be no work to You.

with kind regards,

Tom
