[Openinteract-announce] OpenInteract2 beta 5 released

[Chris W. <ch...@cw...>]

OpenInteract 1.99_05 (2.0 beta 5) has been released to CPAN. This  
release has a number of feature enhancements and bugfixes, including:

  * Full support for observable actions. Previous versions used them for  
filtering content only; this version allows you to step in before or  
after common actions and use the actionable object to do interesting  
work (like post it as a use.perl journal -- see CPAN soon).

  * Better support for action types which allow you to create components  
requiring only configuration to be useful. See  
OpenInteract2::Action::RSS just uploaded to CPAN as an example.

  * Overhauled full-text indexing framework, allowing for new search  
engines. (A full_text_plucene package is a distinct possibility.)

  * Tons and tons of smaller enhancements focusing on streamlined  
development, simpler objects, flexibility and consistency. Many of them  
are in JIRA:
