CMDBuild -Platform for Asset Management / News: Recent posts

We have released the new CMDBuild 3.4 version.

New capabilities were then added in the dynamic configuration of the data model with:... read more

After two years of work, done by a dedicated team of designers and developers, the new 3.0 version is now available for download.

We are working on the new version 3.0 of CMDBuild, which will bring the project in the next decade.

This is not a simple review of the user interface.
All "client" code is completely rewritten, to ensure a fluid usage by the operators.
Beside this, completely new features will also be available.

All news here.

Our source code repository has moved from Mercurial to GIT.

All commit history has been migrated in the new GIT repository. You can find the old hg repository (which won't be updated anymore) on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/tecnoteca/cmdbuild-hg-legacy/ .

The new version of CMDBuild 2.5 has been released.

The release includes the following main new features:

1. possibility to configure CMDBuild in cluster mode, so with multiple independent Tomcat nodes controlled by a Load Balancer Apache, to ensure availability (in case a node stops responding, functionality is provided by active nodes, in a transparent way for the user) and scalability (requests distributed on more nodes, with faster response time, in the case of a large number of competing users) of the application;
2. new password management for users, with the possibility of specifying its expiration date (with notification) and how to set it;
3. GIS refactoring, now able to operate with a quantity of almost unlimited items, thanks to a new memory management mechanism;
4. new task type in the Administration Module Task Manager for an automatic scheduled sending of reports by mail;
5. update of BIM features to IFC4 format and redesign of the 3D viewer now based on the bimvie.ws project;
6. optimization of javascript file recovery policies from the browser, in order to reduce login waiting times;
7. other performance improvements.
