Friends,

We have released Ajuby 0.4. Please test drive and let us know how we  
can  
improve this further.

Would love to address specific problems rather than making a  
yet-another-framework. We are aiming to fill the gap between Rails  
(amazing  
!) and business application development by providing necessary glue  
services  
(domain objects, authentication, auditing, extensible ui etc).

> We have moved our repository to Google Project. Please visit http://code.google.com/p/openappdotorg/ for more details

There are some interesting features in this release:

- New application data security layer, includes custom collection  
declaration for fine grained data sharing
- Improved UI architecture
  - Navigation tabs, subtabs and link references
  - Generate navigation tabs dynamically, configurable and driven by  
yml  
file
  - new theme ‘sociallabs’ added
  - UI widgets (search, new, edit, list) for application actions
  - Integrated Dojo components. Enjoy Dojo user interface with Ajuby  
data  
access and authorization controls

- Auditing support for tracking data access
- Reports module based on Dojo
- AjubyLogger for lightweight logging and console print as well
- Enhanced configuration management using ajubyconfig.yml
  - Change properties dynamically, without restarting the application  
via  
control panel
  - Dynamic loading application themes/layout
  - Theme previews

- Mashup ready with sample webservices using Google search example
- Fixed many bugs, refer to bug list for more details.

As always thanks to all open source enthusiasts who contributed directly  
and  
indirectly to this release.

Cheers
