The following changes were introduced in Edition 2.1 in February, 2010:
- Updated content for the Nexus 1.5.0 Release
- Updated Nexus Open Source version to 1.5.0 (NXBOOK-433)
- Updated Nexus Professional version to 1.5.0.2 (NXBOOK-434)
- Added information about the Open Source LDAP Feature to Section 1.2.1, “Nexus Open Source Features”. (NXBOOK-435)
- Added information about the Enterprise LDAP Feature to Section 1.3.1, “Nexus Professional Features”. (NXBOOK-437)
- Updated Section 1.4, “Choosing a Nexus Edition” to reflect the LDAP feature changes.
- Updated Chapter 2, Repository Management to reflect the LDAP feature changes.
- Added Section 7.6, “Enterprise LDAP Support”. (NXBOOK-436)
- Througout Chapter 8, Nexus Procurement Suite there are alternating references to a strategy known both as the “Secured Development Repository” and the “Procured Development Repository”. To avoid confusion the strategy is now referred to as “Procured Development Repository”. (NXBOOK-420)
- Removed the Nexus Plugins chapter. This chapter was incomplete and incorrect. Until we can commit to a larger survey of available Nexus plugin, it makes sense to remove this chapter. (NXBOOK-445)
- Updated Figure 1.1, “Sonatype Nexus Feature Matrix” to include Nexus 1.5.0 features. (NXBOOK-421)
- Section 3.4, “Running Nexus” contained a reference to a login dialog figure that has been removed. This reference has been removed. (NXBOOK-402)
- Section 7.3, “Connection and Authentication” stated that the LDAP authentication user had to be a user with administrative rights to the LDAP server. This is incorrect, copy updated to state that the user simply needs to have privileges to read all users and groups. (NXBOOK-31)
- Added labels to figures in Chapter 16, Artifact Bundles. All of these figures were missing proper labels. (NXBOOK-328)
- Updated the copyright year.
- Numerous updates to Chapter 9, Nexus Staging Suite
- Rewrote portions of Section 9.1, “Introduction” to make the introduction more straightforward for new users. (NXBOOK-423)
- Changed the “Installing Staging Suite” section to Section 9.2, “Using the Nexus Staging Suite”. Since the Nexus Staging Suite is bundled with Nexus Professional, it doesn’t make any sense to provide installation instructions. (NXBOOK-425)
- Made sure to reference that target created in Section 9.3.1, “Configuring a Staging Target” from Section 9.3.2, “Configuring Staging Profiles”. In the previous edition, we made no mention of the Sonatype Sample target when creating the staging profile. This change makes the section more direct, you define profiles to be activated when an artifact matches a repository target. (NXBOOK-429)
- Reordered the sections in Section 9.3, “Configuring Staging Profiles”. The previous edition started with role assignment. This doesn’t make sense in the workflow of defining a Staging repository because the act of defining a Staging Profile creates several new roles. (NXBOOK-428)
- Added “Close Staging Repository Rulesets” to Section 9.3.2, “Configuring Staging Profiles”. (NXBOOK-430)
- Fixed a label problem with Figure 9.3, “Enterprise Menu after Staging Suite Installation”. (NXBOOK-427)
- Added some lists to Section 9.3.3, “Adding the Staging Deployer Role” to clarify the staging roles. The previous edition lacked an explicit list of the roles created by a Staging Profile. (NXBOOK-426)
