Fellow PostgreSQLers,

After years of incubation, refinement and testing, the Bricolage development 
team is thrilled to announce the release of Bricolage 2. The new Bricolage 
boasts a sleeker interface, a wealth of new features for content authors and 
administrators, and a wider range of platform options.

This is the first major-version update since Bricolage 1.0 was released in 
2001. It’s also the fastest, smartest, best-looking Bricolage yet. Download it 
today!

New features
------------

The interface: Bricolage 2 boasts a totally-revamped interface (based on the
[Prototype]" and [script.aculo.us] JavaScript frameworks). The 
amazingly-flexible Bricolage approach to document editing is now also amazingly 
easy to work with.  You can add fields (and groups of fields) to documents 
without leaving your current screen. You can re-order elements by dragging 
them. Working with categories and keywords is easier too, with 
search-as-you-type autocompletion. 

The back end: Bricolage 2 makes document definitions even more flexible, so 
administrators can specify the minimum and maximum number of occurrences for 
any field or subelement. Other highlights include native support for thumbnail 
images, streamlined job and event tracking, and high-speed SFTP publishing.

The platform: The new Bricolage runs on both Apache 2 and Apache 1.3, and can 
use either [PostgreSQL] (8.1+) or [MySQL] (5.0.3+) as its repository.

There are many, many more changes, features and improvements in Bricolage 2. 
For a complete list, see the [changelog]. For the complete history of ongoing
