Bricolage 2.0 Released
This is the first major-version update since Bricolage 1.0 was released in 2001.
New features of Bricolage 2.0
The interface: Bricolage 2 boasts a totally-revamped interface (based on the Prototype and script.aculo.us JavaScript frameworks). Bricolage approach to document editing is flexible. Fields (and groups of fields) can be added to documents without leaving current screen. Elements can be re-ordered 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 more flexible, 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.
Bricolage is inherently a multi user CMS, designed to manage workflow for large websites with many contributors. Bricolage uses a template development model and completely separates presentation from management of content. It can (and often does) reside on a different server than the web site or other data store being managed. Bricolage is released under BSD license.
