Gnizr 2.3.0 Final Release

Gnizr 2.3.0 Final Release is now available for download.

We're happy to announce the final release of gnizr 2.3.0. This marks a major advancement in the design and implementation of an open source social bookmarking and Web 2.0 mashup application. Several new features are introduced in 2.3.0 and many bugs have been fixed since the release of 2.2.0.

We thank those users who have reported issues and given us feedbacks. Without them, the open source gnizr project would not be possible.

Feature Highlights

Using SKOS for Search Term Suggestion

Administrator can define a set of tag relationships to assist the search of bookmarks. Tag relationships are defined using SKOS vocabulary -- narrower, broader and related-to. Read more.

OpenSearch Support

Gnizr users can search bookmarks and other resources on the Web under a unified search interface, which is similar to that of the A9 search engine. Administrator can customize the set of OpenSearch services that are available to gnizr users. Read more.

Improved User Interface

We try hard to improve gnizr user experience. In this release, we made an effort to improve tag relationship management, tag suggestion and auto-complete, machine tag helper, and gnizr bookmarklet.

What's Next (gnizr 2.4.0)

We've started the development of the next generation of gnizr. Couple major features are under development:
  • Integrate Apache Lucene search
  • Search gnizr via Firefox search plugin
  • New machine tags for describing bookmark content (video, photo, audio etc.)

We expect to release gnizr 2.4.0 Milestone 1 in the next couple weeks.
