Dear Smalltalkers,
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

installation instructions are here:

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
