[Help-smalltalk] [ANN] Aida/Web 6.0 second beta is out!

[Janko Mivšek]

Dear Smalltalkers,

That time with a considerable more fresh meat and on both Squeak+friends
and VisualWorks, a second beta of Aida/Web 6.0 web framework and
application server is released.

To download it visit our renewed website http://www.aidaweb.si

With that beta we also changed the direction: now the 6.0 won't be just
a companion of Scribo CMS but a standalone release with support of
tree-like control flow, so that this release will really deserve a major
number jump from 5.6 to 6.0.

Here are just 3 most important new features in that beta:

  1.Introduction of web execution contexts as a step towards tree-like
    control flow. These contexts give a scope to the "execution" of web
    request and are the precondition for controlling this flow of
    execution.

  2.Translation support for text on the web apps, to allow the
    multilingual text on the pages, besides multilingual content,

  3.Caching (memcached like) to improve performance of serving the
    content, which otherwise doesn't change frequently.

But much more in release notes: http://www.aidaweb.si/release-notes-6.0.html

Best regards
Janko Mivšek
