CMS Features

Blazing Fast

• 50ms or less RTT latency for most of the western world’s population, with plans to expand coverage in East Asia by Q1 2021
• 2 times faster HTTP/2 multiplexed page delivery times (out of the box, for all customers) than the competition
• 500 MB / s sustained builds for multi-gigabyte source trees
• NVMe or faster build infrastructure
• Solaris 11.4 for ZFS stability, backed by Full Oracle Customer Support
• node.js for markdown rendering with CPU clustering
• 8-64 way concurrent builds
• Quick Commit now the default setting for most circumstances
• Apache httpd 2.4 based IDE:
  • HTTP/2
  • event mpm
  • mod_perl w/ ithreads
  • mod_apreq2
  • TLS 1.3
  • Custom SVN::Client module w/ ithread support for per-request pools

Better support for Mailing Diffs and Creating Clones

• DMARC-protected
• Uses SRS and Reply-To for ezmlm-compatibility
• All users are Authenticated via Google’s OpenID-Connect Service

The curious-looking duckling is now an elegant swan

• Bootstrap (Solarized) styling.
• Editor.md is amazing: by using relative src urls, your linked images will render in the editor preview pane.

Consistent GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) rendering with Editor.md

• WYSIWYG: Same javascript code rendering engine in both your browser and in the (node.js-based) markdown.js build script ensures 100% structural consistency between the Editor.md Markdown preview window and the production site.

• YAML headers in source (markdown) files now fully supported.

• Coming as soon as jsdom finishes their SVG implementation: Flowcharts!

• Don Knuth’s TeX support (for mathematical expressions): $E = mc^2$

• Electric! Editor will autocomplete and autoindent; has full screen mode.

Full support for branch builds

• No more staging/publishing: replaced with per-resource branch Promotion.
• Rollback and Sync Merge fully supported.

Live source tree search engine

• Perl Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) based.
• Global search and replace functionality as well (unique given PCRE support); supports regex captures.

Deltas from Apache CMS Features

• Dropped mdx_elementid.py features (new implementation is javascript, not python, and GFM based, so only [TOC] from the py-markdown module carries across). A problem tailor-made for the above Search and Replace Feature of the IDE.
• Only the Perl-based build system is available.
• New editor treats newlines within markdown text blocks as hard breaks.
• GFM uses a different delimiter for code blocks.
• extpaths.txt is no longer supported: select individuals from each project will be granted write access to the production website tree in our subversion repos for uploading externally produced material (javadocs, software release artifacts, etc.)
