Our office recently implemented a notification system framework and provided consulting for crowdSPRING, an innovative new website that brings buyers and sellers together from around the world for creative projects. First, buyers post their project needs -- whether it is a new logo, web design and/or functionality, print illustration, or any other creative need -- along with the dollar amount that they are willing to pay. Then, others respond by submitting their work. The buyer can then choose from among the submissions, such as dozens of logo designs, and pay the project winner.

We are happy to announce the release candidates of eZ Publish 4.0.1 and 3.10.1. These releases carry fixes for about 250 (!) different issues.

The cycle for these releases has been longer than normal because of a family of bugs related to multilingual URL aliases in eZ Publish 3.10 and beyond. There are a few known issues remaining with URL aliases though, which will be tackled with the final release.

Loading INI caches takes time. It is not unusual to see in the time accumulators (in the debug output) that loading these caches takes 15% or more of the total run time on a well cached production site. In this article we will show you how to reduce this time to almost zero.

I did an update for the example extension "jacextension" to ez 4.x (php5).

But the related tutorial is only available for ez 3.x. The changes are php5 related.

• removed references
• removed strict warnings

You have to update the autoloads.php, otherwise the template fetch function from the tutorial don't work.

Have fun with learning extension development in eZ publish.

If you have any ideas or opinions, please feel free to write a review or a forum post.

Thank's

After my comment about following subversion commit comments to get an idea of what is happening with eZ Publish in my previous post, I realised it wasn't such a bad idea and added the RSS feed to my reader. This morning I'm happy to report that the release trees for 4.0.1 & 3.10.1 & 3.9.5 have been created. Nothing in the svn commits comments regarding 4.1. However this comment on my

eZ is proud to announce the third book from the eZ Press: eZ Publish Advanced Content Management. This book is compatible with eZ Publish 4.0. It was written to address the needs of content managers and webmasters, providing a comprehensive advanced guide to managing content with eZ Publish. It builds upon concepts from the eZ Publish Content Management Basics book. Both books were written by Bergfrid Marie Skaara, who used her experience with eZ Publish training and project development to produce this highly practical set.

We have had a small chat with Paul Borgermans, head of eZ Labs to see what he expects from the eZ Publish Developer Day + eZ Conference.

No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage! from Monty Pythons "Dead Parrot" sketch. Given that there hasn't been a release for the eZ publish 3 series since October 2007 and December 2007 for the initial eZ publish 4.0 release, coupled by the lack of any concrete information regarding new releases, one may be forgiven in
