[Stefane Fermigier]

                     Nuxeo CPS 3.0 final released

    The CPS team at Nuxeo is pleased to announce the final
    release of [1]CPS 3.0.

    This release fixes a few remaining bugs that were found in
    CPS 3.0rc3.

    We wish to thank all the contributors (including the
    translators) and beta testers for their feedback on the beta
    releases.

About CPS3

    [2]Nuxeo CPS is an extensive collaborative Web content
    management system (CMS) implemented on top of Zope and the
    CMF, that enables organizations to easily, quickly and
    efficiently implement collaborative intranet, extranet or
    internet applications.

    In addition to the standard Zope / CMF services, CPS
    provides:
      * Platform-independent authoring and publishing, including
        a WYSIWYG editor mode
      * Workspaces and publication sections:
           + User elaborate content in workspaces
           + Content is published in sections after reviewer
             approval
           + Each section has its own workflow process, possibly
             with different reviewers
      * Interface customization and personalization using boxes
        (aka "portlets")
      * Through the Web document type creation:
           + Document definition using schemas, layouts and
             widgets
           + Flexible documents
           + Widgets include WYSIWYG editor using Epoz, date
             selection, internal links selection, etc.
           + Form validation
           + File indexing using external plugins
             (PortalTransforms)
      * Document versionning and archiving (check-in /
        check-out) so you can work on published documents and
        submit a new version without unpublishing them first
      * Interface internationalization (currently supported
        languages: english, french, italian (thanks to Paolo
        Dina), dutch (thanks to Cap Gemini Ernst & Young
        Belgium))
      * Content internationalisation with independent workflows
        for different document translations
      * Powerful group-based user management, optionally based
        on LDAP or a PKI
      * Workflow improvements (local workflows, built in
        states/transitions)
      * Third-party components integration, including the
        popular [3]CPSSkins project by JM Orliaguet

   Who uses it ?

    CPS 3 is being used by Nuxeo, its partners and other
    entities in several high-profile projects. CPS3 has already
    been adopted as a standard offering by market-leading IT
    companies Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Unilog, Steria and
    SEMITA.

    We will provide, after we get appropriate clearance from our
    customers, more information about some of those projects in
    the form of case studies.
