Just 2 days ago eZ Systems released eZ Publish 4.2. As the title points out, this release focusses on Usability, Scalability and Enterprise Search. You can read the full community announcement here, and the developer announcement including full details on new features and fixes here. eZ Publish

I've already taken this new version for a spin on my localhost and I must say I'm impressed. Not only does the download page offer a wider range of packages, the installer now also supports installing a clean set-up or one with sample content.

Usability, Scalability and Enterprise Search

Usability has been improved, for example by offering editors control over the content flow through the administration content management interface. Besides different enhancements in the area of performance and scalability, this release also introduces two major improvements when it comes to scalability: the new NFS Cluster System and Edge Side Include (ESI) support. eZ Publish 4.2 also offers a number of possibilities for integrating eZ Find, extending your site(s) with Enterprise Search features.

Alongside with the above mentioned improvements, this release also contains better support for Microsoft platforms, it contains an improved ajax framework and not to forget... this release also unveils a beta of the CMIS library.

eZ Publish Whitepaper

Published with this release is a new whitepaper which informs users, administrators and developers about the eZ Publish functionality. It also contains information on plugins like eZ Flow and eZ Find, and also includes several use cases worth reading. You can download the whitepaper here.
