Version 9 will feature a wealth of new functions and improvements. AxCMS.net Solution Providers will be able to benefit from coming features through interim releases even before launch of AxCMS.net 9.
Improved usability
The CMS user interface is being overhauled. WYSIWYG mode, list views, and detail views of objects will be optimized for improved usability and speed. These changes' goals are an even more intuitive user interface and a substantial acceleration of typical editor tasks.
Better search engine friendlyness (SEO / SEF)
AxCMS.net 9 will feature ways to define patterns for URLs according to users' needs (i. e. URLs without parameters, URLs with an arbitrary hierarchy that can be defined at design time, special extensions, etc.). These additions together with URL rewriting improvements will dramatically simplify creation and management of search engine friendly web sites. 
Multi-site management improvements
AxCMS.net has been supporting the management of an arbitrary number of web sites for a long time. The new version will further improve multi-site management. It will provide features to editors and developers that will simplify and accelerate multi-site management.
Publication workflow
Publication workflow will take into account additional dependencies of objects being published. Users publishing pages, documents, and other objects will be better supported by the user interface.
Improved support of new technologies
AxCMS.net 9 will even better support development and management of RIAs (Rich Internet Applications). RIAs have different requirements for communication of RIA front ends on client side with CMS back end than traditional web sites.
Managing web sites that are built on top of Microsoft's new MVC approach is possible, even with the current version of AxCMS.net. However, AxCMS.net 9 will feature additional functions that will even better support running and managing web sites that utilize this new technology.
Improved documentation
Of course new functionality will be documented. Additionally we are constantly working on enhancing and improving existing AxCMS.net product documentation.
Performance improvements
AxCMS.net 9 will feature improved performance in many places.
We will be releasing two interim versions: AxCMS.net 8.6 and AxCMS.net 8.7 before the launch of AxCMS.net 9 in September. AxCMS.net Solution Providers will be able to access these and use them in projects and thus benefit from the introduction of some of above mentioned new functionalities even before public launch of version 9.
We look forward to receiving your questions and feedback!
