Bricolage 2.0 Drops

Fellow PostgreSQLers,

After years of incubation, refinement and testing, the Bricolage development team is thrilled to announce the release
ofBricolage 2. The new Bricolage boasts a sleeker interface, a wealth of new features for content authors and
administrators,and a wider range of platform options. 

This is the first major-version update since Bricolage 1.0 was released in 2001. It’s also the fastest, smartest,
best-lookingBricolage yet. Download it today! 

New features
------------

The interface: Bricolage 2 boasts a totally-revamped interface (based on the
[Prototype]" and [script.aculo.us] JavaScript frameworks). The amazingly-flexible Bricolage approach to document
editingis now also amazingly easy to work with.  You can add fields (and groups of fields) to documents without leaving
yourcurrent screen. You can re-order elements by dragging them. Working with categories and keywords is easier too,
withsearch-as-you-type autocompletion.  

The back end: Bricolage 2 makes document definitions even more flexible, so administrators can specify the minimum and
maximumnumber of occurrences for any field or subelement. Other highlights include native support for thumbnail images,
streamlinedjob and event tracking, and high-speed SFTP publishing. 

The platform: The new Bricolage runs on both Apache 2 and Apache 1.3, and can use either [PostgreSQL] (8.1+) or [MySQL]
(5.0.3+)as its repository. 

There are many, many more changes, features and improvements in Bricolage 2. For a complete list, see the [changelog].
