WebGUI
WebGUI is a content management framework built to allow average business users to build and maintain complex Web sites. It is modular, pluggable, and platform independent. It was designed to allow the people who create the content to manage it online, rather than content management taking up the time of busy IT staff. WebGUI comes with a full host of features including shopping cart, subscriptions, forums, photo galleries, FAQs, link lists, blogs, SQL reports, a Web services interface, and a very configurable user privilege and profiling system.

A Javascript syntax error prevented the DatePicker from working properly, iCal feeds are now processed correctly, and error messages from events are now internationalized. A bug in how the Collaboration System handles Metadata form fields has been fixed.
- 01 Jul 2009 10:59
Changes: This release has two important fixes for the Calendar. A bug with importing iCal data was fixed where the CalendarUpdateFeeds workflow would ignore the last line. The datepicker was also fixed so that multiple datepickers on a page do not leak dates between each other. There is also a bugfix for error handling during EMS imports and inconsistent metadata handling between assets.
- 26 Jun 2009 09:45
Changes: This release contains lots of work with the new ProgressBar. The ProgressBar display for Edit Branch had a bug that was fixed. ProgressBar status displays were added to Delete Asset, Purge Asset, and Rollback VersionTag. A bug was fixed in the Story dealing with the automatic resizing of uploaded images. The date picker was enhanced to make navigation through months and years much easier.
- 24 Jun 2009 06:54
Changes: This release contains performance improvements for the AdminBar, which will speed up WebGUI working on large sites. The AdminBar and AssetManager now work consistently when doing operations on assets like cut and paste and they return you to the page where you started. There are fixes for the Shortcut, Thingy, and ical in the Calendar, the NotifyAboutUsers workflow activity, and the RandomAssetProxy macro. WebGUI's Date picker now has an easier way to skip months and years. Group privileges were added to the Shipping plugins for the Shop.

Changes: This release contains performance improvements for Admin Mode, bugfixes for the RandomAssetProxy macro, Thingy, Calendar iCal feeds, and several bugfixes dealing with version control. There were a number of UI improvements. A progress bar status display was added for pasting Assets. The AdminBar and AssetManager now return you to the page you started on. When groups are deleted, WebGUI will try to replace all instances of that group on the site with Admin. Lastly, Shipping plugins in the Shop now have Group privileges. Existing shipping plugins are updated to use the Everyone group.

Re: Please explain "platform independent"
When people refer to a software as platform independant they refer to the OS at the platform. MySQL and Apache are additional pieces of software required by WebGUI to run, these pieces of software ALSO run on the platform (being the OS.)
WebGUI does NOT run ON TOP of MySQL, but rather along with it.

Re: Please explain "platform independent"
I believe the "platform" they are describing is the Operating System on which this software can run. Both Apache, and MySQL are open source services which will run on a UNIX or Microsoft based machine. If you, and your clients already have an MS based server, installing these two free software packages should not be a big deal. I did not see anything but ANSI SQL, so perhaps Ms SQL would work, and IIS for displaying the HTML, but if not, I'm sure it would not be a big deal for your provider to install these packages as they do not have to pay licensing. Also if need be, contact me, I provide hosting services with Apache and MySQL on a 10mbit backbone, and would be more than happy to assist you with your hosting needs.
Hope this answers your questions.
