The latest OCEE release version 3.0.4 is a compatibility update for the new OpenCms version 8.0.4.

Please note: OCEE 3.0.4 is not compatible with OpenCms 8.0.0 - 8.0.1.

Notice for users of OpenCms 7: The current release of OCEE for OpenCms 7.x is version 2.1.6. OCEE 2.1.6 is compatible with all 7.x versions of OpenCms.

Main features in OCEE

• Support for multi-staging scenarios with the OCEE Replicator: You can configure a "development" server that first pushes all generated content to a "staging" server e.g. for approval, and then afterwards to the "delivery" server. This is freely configurable, and there is no limit on the number of stages.
• Centralized configuration of servers with the OCEE Cluster: You can now edit the scheduled jobs, search index configuration and module parameters for all individual servers in the cluster from a common GUI in the workplace server.
• Support for OpenCms OUs in the LDAP Connector: It is now possible to connect each OpenCms OU with an individual path in the LDAP Server.
• Improved performance with the OCEE Accelerator: A much improved cache policy in the Accelerator now selectively flushes only certain cached items after publishing instead of just flushing everything.
