    Umbraco 4 benefits for enduser (editor)?

    Hi, I recently upgrade one bigger site from U3 to U4, I'd like to write email to customer, with some benefits, which new version has. But I can't find out any :-( and there are some limitations (margins and borders on images settings are lost after upgrade). Please help me find some advantages.

    Petr

     

    BTW:From developer point of view I know U4 uses membership providers, has masterpages etc....

    Hi Petr,

    The interface is definitely a lot faster, so from a "content area only" user perspective they should notice that as a great improvement.

    Have a look at this page:

    http://umbraco.org/v4

    And this V4 release document:

    http://umbraco.org/media/113722/umbraco_v4_whitepaper.pdf

    Also it is worth looking at this review of Umbraco 4 over at CMS Wire:

    http://www.cmswire.com/cms/web-cms/quick-take-review-umbraco-web-content-management-system-004296.php

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Hi Petr, strange timing on this one - I did the very same yesterday with one of our larger client sites.  Here's what we would have said, had we been asked ;-)

    • Faster:  The content trees perform better in v4 and are more resilient when dealing with large group of nodes
    • More Secure:  Take advantage of the latest security updates and move away from an older, unsupported version
    • Compatibility: The v4 admin panels have less cross-browser problems than v3
    • Future-proof:  Upgrades to the latest and greatest version will now be incremental upgrades - easier, faster and therefore cheaper to the client

    Then if that's not enough, go to the web2.0 bullshit generator at http://emptybottle.org/bullshit/ and just make something up!

    disintermediate authentic networking, remix rich-client synergies, capture authentic wikis
