After some time of internal testing we're making the updated RAL for Windows available for the public. Please grab a copy and let us know what you think of it.

Last year Martin Jonsson blogged about the HTTP compression feature he was working on, and although it's not yet been enabled in standard 5.0 builds it will be in the near future. As Martin wrote you can test it now by using the -DHTTP_COMPRESSION start flag.

Another recent development which is about to leave the lab is a brand new RAM cache module. Like the HTTP compression capability we are giving it some real-world stress testing before enabling it universally but soon we will flip the switch and make it official.

It has been a while, but we have finally come around to finalize our work with the application launcher for Windows.

We are pleased to be able to present to you an application launcher built on the .NET 3.5 framework using C#. The program itself has been tested and should be working on Windows XP, Vista and the newly released Windows 7.

Thanks for all the support and bug reports during the beta-phase. As always, much appreciated. Please try the new version and let us know what you think!

By now I'm sure no-one has missed that we've finally shipped Roxen CMS 5.0! This posting is not specifically about the new version but I'll definitely return to that subject in future articles. Today I'll instead bring up a topic that can be a great source of confusion, namely character encodings. After reading this you'll hopefully have a clearer understanding of how Roxen works and I'll share a couple of suggestions along the way that should let you avoid the most common pitfalls.

Just a quick note:

In case you hadn't noticed. Roxen CMS 5.0 is out! This also obviously means a new Roxen WebServer 5.0 and a new Roxen CMS 5.0 PE is out there to explore too.

Go check them out and let us know what you think in the Planet Roxen Forums.

Finally we are able to provide you with a public beta of the brand new Application Launcher for Windows. This new version adresses many issues that we have had with the older versions and also incorporates support for Roxen Editorial Portal. 

We look forward to hearing your thoughts and strongly encourage you to report any bugs you might stumble upon.

In Roxen WebServer 5.0, a new feature will be introduced in the HTTP protocol module that should improve both web site visitors' perception of performance and reduce the bandwidth needed for the site's servers: gzip compression. The code is still considered experimental, although it's been briefly tested with some pretty good results.

Now that we have announced Roxen CMS 5.0 I'd like to describe some XSL changes that will arrive shortly. In this posting I'll highlight three areas: profiling, compatibility and performance.

This is a community update. Hopefully this will be a recurring tradition on the Planet. A chance for you to get a glimpse of what's going on.

There has been a lot of thoughts and discussions held about the User Conference. One thing is clear, Planet Roxen has greatly benefited from the conference. We believe that without the presentation given by our support manager Marcus Wellhardh and other colleagues highlighting the community we would not have as many registered users as we have today.

Also a big thanks to all of you who has posted and helped us get things started.

Welcome!

First, a warm welcome to all readers of our new Planet web site! I and my colleagues will try to blog regularly on topics that relate to Roxen and the web in general. I've already collected some ideas on tutorials and tricks covering RXML features and CMS development that I want to talk about here.

Roxen has started the development of a new community site for all Roxen users worldwide. Our goal is to create a site that can be used by anybody who is involved with or interested in the Roxen software suite, the pike programming language and webdevelopment in general.

Developing this site is one step in the process of reaching out and creating an environment where users and developers can exchange information and experience with one and another.

The community will of course run on a Roxen server using the latest and greatest additions to the CMS such as the new blog module with some custom additions. The community will be totally standalone with no significant connection to the corporate site, which will be running as usual.
