Meet Razuna 1.4 – now even more power to the open source Digital Asset Management

by on September 21, 2010 in Digital Asset Management, Razuna

We are more then pleased to announce the immediate availability of Razuna 1.4. This release brings over 100 enhancements and is a culmination of half a year work by many contributors. You can download Razuna 1.4 directly from our website (Standalone Server, WAR or Virtual Server for your virtualization platform) or update within your own installation (detailed upgrade path is available here).

Major new features in this release include:

  • The option to store assets on Amazon S3 & Eucalyptus. Thus, Razuna can not only run in the cloud but also use all major Cloud Storage Providers.
  • Backup & Restore functionality. Upgrading Razuna with ease.
  • Complete Re-Design of the Firsttime Wizard. Creating or migrating your Digital Asset Management has never been easier. Really!
  • Lightbox Management for shared folders & collections.
  • Added support for IBM’s Websphere and DB2 Database.
  • New Upload Tool. Drag & Drop assets from your desktop to Razuna.
  • Complete Re-Design for many parts within Razuna.
  • OGG and WebM video support.
  • Added Metadata writing for audios, videos and documents.
  • A lot of HTML5 goodies.
  • Major speed improvement.

Developers and network admins will appreciate the new backup & restore, enhanced permission settings and rich API functions. As a user, you will love that Razuna feels much snappier, has the option to drag & drop your assets right from your desktop and the light design which lets you focus on your assets.

We could go on, but we are busy producing a video for you to see all the goodies. (As of this time, we haven’t quite finished the video, but we just couldn’t hold off the release anymore. Video will come in another blog post :-) )

Update: Attached is the new video for Razuna 1.4. (Watch it in HD or jump over to Vimeo for awesome quality)

Razuna 1.1, open source digital asset management, now available

by on August 16, 2008 in Razuna

We are very happy to announce that Version 1.1 of Razuna – our open source Digital Asset Management System with integrated Web Content Management – is now available (and this on the day that Elvis died and Madonna turns 50)!

Version 1.1 features a embedded database that lets you deploy Razuna within minutes and without any additional database setup. The embedded database performs very well and holds up in production environments as well. Of course, support for the Oracle database is still given.

We also increased the speed on some asset operations and make now extensive use of the Lucene search engine. Additionally we included a Upgrade Manager, which makes upgrading to a new version a breeze. For the CMS part we updated FCKEditor to release 2.6.3 which fixes some issues that users experienced on Firefox 3.

This release of Razuna is a major leap for us, since we have now transitioned to a complete Open Source distribution, where all components used are now open sourced. For the technically inclined Razuna leverages the following open source components; OpenBD (Lucene included), Tomcat and H2 (I am going to blog some more about this database). As always, this release comes as a WAR/EAR distribution or bundled with Tomcat as a Standalone Server.

Razuna is a professional digital asset management/media asset management with an integrated web content management that delivers and makes management of your digital assets a simple task. Razuna is licensed under a dual-license (AGPL and commercial) and can be downloaded at http://www.razuna.com. The Wiki is available at http://wiki.sixsigns.com and the public Issues Tracker at http://issues.sixsigns.com (both products proudly sponsored by Atlassian (Confluence and Jira) ).

(We are aware that our forum is down right now. We should be up and running on Monday again. Thank you for all your patience.)
