eZ Platform beta now available for testing

The fifth release of eZ Platform, 15.09, is the first in "beta" stability. It builds upon the 15.07 September alpha release. It most notably provides many new UI features, both in this download and continues to provide a few more additional UI features during it's beta period until end of month.

Highlights

Along with the improvements and fixes listed at the bottom, the most notable changes are the sub-items list in PlatformUI, location & relation tabs, and policies support in custom bundles.


Platform UI sub-items list

Sub-items will now be listed in PlatformUI. This is a minimum viable feature. In further releases, this will be expanded to improve UX with ability to change sub-items views and ability to easily add subitems. For now the sub-items list view enables repository browsing via the content view.

  • Users other than the admin can now login to Platform UI (EZP-24753)
