Hi all

Has anyone tried the new release yet?

I will experiment with it on coming week end, in case anyone knows anything
about this new release I would appreciate if you share so that I avoid any
pitfall.

Greenstone 2.81
released<http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2008-11-13/greenstone-281-released/>
David
Bainbridge. Thursday, November 13th, 2008

We are pleased to announce that the Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS/X and Source
distributions of Greenstone v2.81 are now available for download from:

http://www.greenstone.org/download

The main focus has been on multilingual support. Improvements include
handling filenames that include non-ASCII characters, accent folding
switched on by default for Lucene, and character based segmentation for CJK
languages.

This release also features our new installer, which is 100% open source.
Previously we had relied on a commercial program for this, which incurred a
significant cost in keeping up to date; consequently we decided to develop
our own installer, based on the excellent open source installer toolkits
already available.

There are many other significant additions in this release, such as the
Fedora Librarian Interface (analogous to GLI, but working with a Fedora
repository). See the release
notes<http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=640118&group_id=12123>for
the complete details. Specific issues fixed in the 2.81 release can be
viewed in Greenstone Trac here

here<http://trac.greenstone.org/query?status=closed&milestone=Next+Release+%282+or+3%29>
.

This has been a long time coming, thank you for your patience.

As always, please report any problems or bugs to the mailing list.
