Highlights

Legacy is "gone"

This major milestone, and is what makes the first release of eZ Platform possible. This is further covered in Core Development blog post. But in short: the related libraries, services and configuration have been externalized to a new package: ezsystems/legacy-bridge. And since the eZ Platform is still in alpha, ezpublish-legacy and legacy-bridge v2015.01 can still easily be installed.

Ships with Platform UI Bundle v0.5

Platform UI, revealed last july, has received its first tag: v0.5. It is pre-installed and pre-configured in this release, and it can be accessed via <example.com>/shell.

See blog post from December for further information about the new User Interface.

Prototype of native installer

Since we can't rely on legacy anymore, prototype of a native installer has been added, as a console script: ezpublish/console ezplatform:install. It is meant to be very simple, fast, easy to automate, and easy to extend.
