Jahia Launches Jahia 6.6, the new version of its flagship CMS solution

mike-johnston Profile

Jahia announced today the new version of its flagship CMS product in version 6.6 with two major areas of improvements: the platform management and Jahia Studio, its visual integration tool to build highly customized and personalized User Experiences.

Jahia Studio, a new standard of User Experience Building

Jahia Studio is a unique visual User Experience Builder that allows for the convergence of socialized content applications, websites, portals and mobile sites thanks to the easy dragging and dropping of pre-packaged components and modules. Zero code required!

Introduced with Jahia 6.5, this unique integrated User Experience Builder is available for free and for all Jahia integrators.

“The Jahia Studio is a great addition to the Jahia platform.  Not only does it accelerate development, but it also gives non-technical users the ability to create solutions that would otherwise require developer assistance.  This is a big win for organizations that want to empower their business users to the greatest extent possible.” Glenn Korban -Director of Technology- Oshyn, Cerritos, California

Some of Jahia 6.6 improvements further enhancing the Jahia Studio experience:

  • More options for administrators and integrators to control Jahia’s rich authoring interfaces and components permissions
  • New deployment options for modules allowing bulk and/or selective deployments of the modules over the sites hosted on the Jahia instance.
  • Better management of module dependencies for easier application packaging.
  • Redesigned item deletion and addition of a Trash: authors may restore content items before complete deletion approval

Further enhancements of the Jahia Composite Content Platform

Jahia 6.6 provides many improvements to facilitate integration within existing IT infrastructures and administrative work, including:

  • New Framework : The Visibility Framework
  • Advanced content delivery and personalization capabilities: the new Visibility Framework features business rules, additional server side personalization capabilities and an advanced control over content delivery.
  • Advanced Administration:
    • New configuration options for stack traces, threads and memory dumps.
    • Extended import and export mechanisms to support both live and/or default workspaces, including User Generated Content.
  • Data storage flexibility:
    • Improved performances and reliability for relational databases and files systems storage using datastore mechanism for files and documents managed by the Jahia platform
  • Agile Maintenance:
    • Easier upgrades from version to version thanks to a new FixApplier application.
