I just wanted you all to get a small update out of the upcomingRazuna 1.1.4 release. Our customers have been incredible helpful and are helping to shape the future ofRazuna (a truly open source Digital Asset Management)tremendously.

Thought, Razuna 1.1.4 is only a small feature set release, it is a great stepping stone to Razuna 1.2. So, here are the changes for 1.1.4;

Folder Permissions
A folder can now be owned by a user only. Previously, you had to share a folder with the “Everyone” group. Now, you can simply uncheck the “Everyone” group and the folder will only be accessible to you. Others will not see the folder and all assets within are protected. Also, assets can not be found with the search once they are in a user protected folder. We also fixed an issue with inheritance of folder permissions.

Internet Explorer Compatible
It’s not always easy to develop for all platforms and all browsers alike. Even thought we only use CSS and Javascript, there are sometimes browser platform issues that can not be overcome easily. Thus I am very happy to say that Razuna 1.1.4 is now compatible with IE 7 & 8. Whereas Razuna acts and looks much better with IE8 then IE7 (don’t turn on Compatible mode, that thing makes it worse)…

Performance, performance
Due to a new version of the Application Server and its new feature to cache Javascript, CSS files and certain parts of Razuna, the new version is magnitudes faster. But we not only improved the loading of Razuna, but also streamlined our code much more. You can see an immediate effect of this new performance by uploading your assets. Assets are now uploaded in the back and you will be notified by eMail of the upload process, respectively when the assets has been uploaded to the server.
