Version 4.0 (June, 2008)

  • Compatible with Plone 3x; support for Plone 3x ZODB import
  • Significant improvements to documentation & configuration wizard for ease of use.
  • General performance improvements
  • Active Directory Integration went through massive optimization to remove unneeded and duplicate queries.
  • Faster and broader indexing (more file formats are supported, eg: Open Office 2.x)
  • ADO database connector now supports savepoints (provided that the underlying database also does so).
  • ADO database connector will reconnect automatically after a connection failure.
  • Enfold Configuration Utility will now warn about conflicting ports when you have more than one Zope instance.
  • Enfold Configuration Utility "About" page now displays information about installed version of Enfold Server.
  • Installer and Configuration Utility correctly triggers UAC prompt on Windows Vista.
  • When changing Authentication Profiles, the authentication cache will be cleared automatically without the Administrator needing to manually clear the authentication cache.
  • Immediately shuts down services if they try to open ports that conflict with other open system ports (instead of retrying indefinitely).
  • Installer properly warns you if you create a new service user where the provided password does not meet Domain Policy Security Requirements (previously it would fail silently).
  • Enfold Server includes Plone 3.1x, which offers significant extra features over 2.x versions of Plone. That includes wiki support, versioning, inline editing, new presentation mode, auto-generated Table of Contents and link checking.

Also, in June 2008 Enfold System changed their product support plans to an annual subscription that covers licensing, upgrades and support. (Read more about Enfold Systems support options ).

Known Issues

Here is a brief list of issues that were known to cause problems at the time of Enfold Server's 4.0 software release.

  • Support for Windows Server 2008 is still being tested.
  • If you are using an authentication profile with Trusted Proxy and are using NTLM authentication, the 'last login time' variable in PlonePAS will not be set.
  • If you have several Zope clients which you wish to restart at the same time, you should start the second one a short time (maybe 15-30 seconds) after starting the first client. If the two clients are started or restarted too close in time to one another, there is a possibility that the second client will not initialize properly and will need to be restarted.
  • When using SQL with zadoa, you must create an alias for count()*. (Read more about Zadoa known issues ).
  • Add-on products which use ZODB's savepoint() feature might conflict with using the ADO adapter if they are both called within the same transaction. The symptom for this failure is that you will receive an exception saying that no new transactions can be started.
