Our demo server has now been upgraded from DC-X 1.2.2 to 1.3.3 – quite a jump! Please let us know if you discover something that seems broken after the upgrade.
Some highlights in the new version:
- Optimized query performance by shrinking the Solr index and not loading filters with each query. (Click on the filter panel to load filters.)
- After tagging a document, it should now appear immediately afterwards when clicking on the tab name in the left-hand navigation.
- New actions “Edit rights” and “Edit usages”.
- Actions not permitted for the selected documents are now disabled.
- The document view displayed on double click now shows image captions.
- Safari 5 has been added to the list of supported browsers.
- Lots of bug fixes and minor tweaks, as well as a lot of code cleanup behind the scenes and administration improvements.
We’re currently upgrading our demo server to the latest DC-X release, which means a few minutes downtime. We’ll post a list of changes here when the update is done.
Starting tomorrow we will roll out a major DC-X upgrade on our demo server. Since the last update was back in October, there have been a lot of new features added meanwhile. The upgrade process will start at 10am (GMT+1) and should be finished in the late afternoon. During that time we are expecting a downtime and things will look broken.
If you need access to a working demo server tomorrow or during the weekend, please contact us.
You may have noticed that the demo server has been stuck at the DC-X version 1.1.0RC8 for quite some time…
This is because we’re currently quite busy working on customer projects, but it doesn’t mean that DC-X is not evolving any more! In fact, partners can now download DC-X 1.1.0RC12 (if you don’t know the URL, please contact us). There are minor but important fixes in lots of areas, including the installer, publication information, topic planning, RSS feed import and the list and gallery result views.
(And yes, the permanent “Release Candidate” status is a bit funny – DC-X is stable enough for a “real” release, but there are a few things missing from the administration UI that we’d like to implement for 1.1.0.)
The DC-X demo server (http://dcx.digicol.de) will be updated on 1st December and will not be available between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The DC-X demo server (http://dcx.digicol.de) will be updated this weekend and will not be available for some time.
In general, there may be maintenance work on the server at weekends that is not announced before. If you need to have a working server on a Saturday or Sunday please send a mail, so we can schedule appropriately.
We just upgraded our demo server to DC-X 1.1.0RC2. You’ll notice that Related Content is displayed much faster and looks nicer… The topic planning area is under heavy construction, so this won’t be the last release before IFRA 
We hope everything works fine for you, let us know if it doesn’t!
Our demo server has finally been upgraded to the latest DC-X version, 1.1.0RC1. The most interesting change is the redesigned user interface, check it out!
Sorry that this took so long – please let us know if anything seems broken after the upgrade…
We’re very sorry – the upgrade of our DC-X demo server to the latest version takes much more time than we planned for.
We’ll be completing it over the weekend. Please use the test environment in the meantime, it has already been upgraded.
In anticipation of IFRA Expo 2009 in Vienna, we’ll be updating DC-X on our demo server to the latest beta version of DC-X 1.1.0. We will do this on Thursday (October 1st).
This is a major update since we’re finally switching to the new user interface that’s been under development since July. Doing the update this week means that we’ve got one more week for testing until IFRA Expo starts.
We think everything will be fine after the update (except for the topic planning module that’s currently being rewritten), but the update process will take a few hours and things may look broken during that time. If you were relying on a stable demo server this Thursday, please contact us.
