Lodz, October 7th 2008 -- The
Midgard Project has released stable release of 8.09 "Ragnaroek LTS"
generation of the Midgard Content Management System. Midgard is a
mature Free Software CMS package targeted for mid-to-high-end
... [More]
web
services.
About this release.
Midgard 8.09.0 "Ragnaroek LTS" release is another release of Midgard
following the new time-based release process. Because of this,
versioning numbering of both Midgard and MidCOM have been synchronized
to follow a date-based pattern. Using old version numbering the
software included in this release would have been Midgard 1.9 and
MidCOM 2.9. The new release process has been created to align Midgard
with the release synchronicity model followed by free software projects
like GNOME and Ubuntu.
Midgard 8.09.0 "Ragnaroek LTS"
is a Long Term Support version of Midgard for which bug fixes and minor
feature improvements will be supplied by the Midgard community for
several years. It is recommended that all Midgard users upgrade their
installations to the Midgard 8.09 series for stability, performance and
maintainance reasons. Upgrade from MidCOM 2.8 installations running
with PHP5 has been made as seamless as possible.
The version is targeted to ease transition from web services using
the deprecated Midgard 1.x APIs to the new Midgard2 architecture.
Because of this, the release provides both API versions. This means
that the release can be used to run both Midgard 1 applications like
the version 2.9 of the MidCOM component framework, and Midgard2
applications like MidCOM3.
Changes from Midgard 1.8 and MidCOM 2.8:
Midgard and MidCOM now follow an unified release schedule and roadmap
There is a new command-line database and website setup utility
There is a new Site Wizard web interface for website creation
PHP4 support has been removed in favor of PHP5
GObject attributes of Midgard objects are directly mapped to PHP objects for performance reasons
Repligard package has been removed and replaced by new built in replication API
The MidCOM framework uses autoloading to reduce memory usage and processing time
Prototype Javascript framework has been removed in favor of jQuery
New Midgard logo and graphical guidelines have been deployed across the system
Packages are built for several Linux distributions using the openSuse Build Service
Classic Midgard API has been deprecated in favor of MgdSchema and
Query Builder, but is available via --with-legacy-api configuration
switch in midgard-php5
midgard-config command-line tool replaced with Midgard configuration supported by pkg-config
In addition Midgard 8.09 provides new experimental ("Midgard2") features for developers:
D-Bus signals from I/O events, and ability to pass D-Bus messages through Midgard API
Event handling also available for languages without event support (like PHP5)
New authentication and user management API
New API for objects' attachments and parameters
New API for binary blobs
Planned for next releases
Long Term Supported Midgard 8.09 "Ragnaroek" version
First Midgard 9.03 ("Midgard2") stable release: March 2009
Targeted as general, replicated persistent storage framework reaching further than just the web
Automated database MgdSchema management and table initialization
Language bindings for Python and Mono (.Net)
Support for different database back-ends like PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle and MS SQL
Completely rewritten high-performance MidCOM model-view-controller framework for PHP ("MidCOM3")
XMPP Peer-to-Peer replication
Removed Apache module
Redesigned and web server independent PHP extension (Apache and Lighttpd support)
Development coordinated via Git instead of Subversion
About Midgard
Midgard is a capable open source content management package targeted
for mid-to-high-end websites. The Midgard community has always focused
on clean and manageable code, high security and multilingual support in
the toolkit.
Some feature highlights:
Modular system that allows construction of a site by creating a directory hierarchy powered by different components

features for synchronizing content from popular Social Web services
like Flickr, Jaiku and Twitter.

Midgard Community
Since 1999, Midgard has been worked on by an international team of free
software developers. Unlike many other open source CMS projects,
Midgard is not controlled by a single corporation, but instead the
development work is coordinated and shared by a cluster of
organizations mainly located in north Europe. All decisions and

decisions are made in Midgard Gatherings - events that are arranged
twice a year.
Midgard is a large and mature code base that is being actively
developed. Copyrights to the Midgard software are owned by the
