This week sees the release of P2 Explorer 4.6.0.
P2 Explorer version 4.6 is a minor release that consolidates what was previously three installers into one. It also combines the three separate databases of P2 Server, P2 Explorer, and P2 Security into a single database.
This release introduces the concept of the Info Zone – an area on the right side of the Explorer screen which displays context-sensitive information in a new Explore panel. This takes the concept of the “Table of Contents” in previous releases of Explorer, to the next level. For this release, comments and display information will appear in this zone, with more to come in future releases.
In the near future, the Info Zone will also perform as a general display area for easy access to selected standalone functions that have an isolated output, such as alerts.
Other new features include:
- Updated commentary infrastructure – the comments window has been integrated with the Explore panel. Through security, it is now also possible for a role to be created which enables users to edit or delete any comment in the system regardless of who initially wrote the comment.
- New and more intuitive security interface for assigning roles and permissions.
- New Knowledge Management component allows users to capture information about the page or component in the Explore panel.
- New Trend Zoom feature, which allows users to focus on a selected area of trend.
- Point Details now available from Trend and Attributes Panel.
