Dear Squeakers,

AIDA/Web 5.6 was just released, on Squeak and VisualWorks. This version
is also a base for forthcoming Aida/Scribo, which will be a CMS (Content
Management System), with a core and some plugins: wiki, website, forum,
blog.

More about Aida is on http://www.aidaweb.si, you can install it from 
Universes, SqueakMap or SqueakSource. See download and installation 
instructions here: http://www.aidaweb.si/download.html.

What's new in 5.6?

   - class SwazooAida for easier start: just doit SwazooAida demoStart
   - run on all interfaces, any host: SwazooAida startOn: somePort,
     useful for running behind load balancers
   - enhanced reliability and performance serving directly to
     the Internet
   - multilingual support for serving domain objects in many languages
   - Party/Role framework for modeling complex relationships among
     different parties (persons, companies). Useful among other for more
     complex authorization scenarios
   - Joomla template support with Mitra template included
   - upgrade to Prototye 1.6.0, Scriptaculous 1.8.0
   - more understandable reorganization of packages

I hope that this release is another step towards making a Smalltalk
the best platform for running the web.

Best regards
Janko
