Nuxeo Platform 6.0 is Released

Version 6.0 of the Nuxeo platform was officially released today.

Nuxeo has been pretty busy over the last year and they've added some innovative features to their enterprise content management (ECM) platform that really set them apart from other ECM vendors.

While a number of the big features in the new Nuxeo release have been available via 'Fast Track' preview releases made periodically since last December, those features will now all officially roll up and become part of the fully-supported Nuxeo product feature set going forward.

Some of the major highlights of the Nuxeo platform 6.0 release include:

Elasticsearch - extremely scalable and distributed search engine.  Enables hierarchical faceted search.

Collections - a light-weight folder-like object for grouping documents.  Bulk operations like export and download can then be applied to to the collection

MongoDB - optional NoSQL-backend storage offering high flexibility, easy sharding and replication

Mule Connector - enables Nuxeo Automation operations to be inserted inside a Mule Flow, allowing easy integration with other software platforms like Salesforce, Marketo, SAP, and Magento

User Interface Enhancements - including a spreadsheet editor and lightbox support.

CMIS - supports CMIS 1.1 specification, like the new JSON browser binding

Mobile APIs - includes native client SDKs for iOS and Android, including offline sync

Javascript API - includes two implementations, one for node.js and another for jQuery

SAML2 and OAuth 2.0 - enables secure authentication for client applications

AES Encryption - encrypts content with an AES algorithm before moving into the store

A complete list that documents the changes and new features of the Nuxeo platform 6.0 release can be found in the product release notes here.

Nuxeo's Josh Fletcher will also be giving an overview next week on the Nuxeo 6.0 release in a webinar on November 18th.
