Teamsite 6.7.1 comes with some very nice features again.

First of all Linux (Red Hat 4) is now supported as a platform to run Teamsite on.

Further Teamsite on Unix will now run as a non-root user. I'm not yet convinced by this feature. You still need root to install TS and to do the most admin-tasks. So in most enterprises you will still need to be very nice to the system-admin with the root-password.

But the best thing in this release is the workflow modeler. A graphic GUI to design and develop your workflows. All Java-based. If done right this could be a very good thing. Java-developers are easier found then perl-coders and workflow are just easier to design in a graphical mode. If only to keep the managers that always enjoy a good image happy.

The old wft-style workflows can NOT be converted, will be phased out in the long run but for now are still supported.
