Hi,

This morning a release candidate for the 2.0 version of eXist-db has been made 
available for download.

XSLTForms is installed by default (rev 559) as a library in /db/apps/, as well 
as the first draft of an XSLTForms Demo. 

Please assist in making the XSLTForms Demo show more XSLTForms features.

I copy below Wolfgang Meier's announcement of the release.

Cheers,

Jens

The purpose of this release is to test the setup a last time and give 
documentation authors a chance to see how the final thing will look like. As 
you will certainly recognize, a lot has changed on the surface compared to the 
tech preview: the new launcher integrates with the desktop and installs a 
system tray icon (on those systems which support it, i.e. Windows, Mac and some 
Unix flavors). The dashboard is now the central hub of eXist-db and replaces 
the old home screen, featuring a range of plugins and apps. The entire web 
content has been modularized and moved into self-contained, installable apps. 
Creating your own apps should be rather painless using eXide's app wizard.

We'll be happy to hear any issues you find. At this point, we're in particular 
interested to get feedback on

* does the installer work properly for you? Is it too large and shall we 
disable some extensions? Right now it has most extension modules enabled, 
including xslfo and content extraction, which adds a lot to its size. We 
consider providing a stripped-down alternative with just the bare minimum.
* do the fallbacks we built into the launcher work on those systems which do 
not support the Java desktop integration?
* is installing/deinstalling packages via the package manager reliable on all 
systems?

The release candidate has been verified to work properly with Java 6 and 7 
(some problems reported with OpenJDK 6).

We are heading for a mid-December release of 2.0 final.

Happy Testing,

Wolfgang
