SDL Tridion 2013 SP1 Released!!

As usual I try to keep up with SDL Tridion product as best as possible. Pretty excited that SDL Tridion 2013 SP1 came out this week!

Just wanted to try it out today installing the basic Content Manager portion and see what has changed.

Here goes!

STEP 1

Choose what feature you want to install. Looks like "Context Expressions" is something new here

 

































STEP 2

Installing the missing prerequisites (nothing changed)



































STEP 3

Enter MTSUser Account (nothing changed)



































STEP 4

Connect to database. In addition to the normal SQL user, you can actually use Windows Authentication now!



































STEP 5

This step is optional but we use SDL WorldServer for our translation services. There's a new selection called SDL BeGlobal which is a new SDL automated translation service that's hosted in the cloud.

STEP 7

Upon first access, I am quite impressed! I am immediately greeted with a dynamically spinning "Loading" page.

Overall, I am quite impress with this version of Tridion. Good job R&D team!!
