Sonatype is happy to announce the availability of Nexus 1.7. We've cut a new release for both Nexus Open Source (now known as Sonatype Nexus Repository Community Edition) and Nexus Professional (now known as Sonatype Nexus Repository). This post walks through the changes introduced to Nexus Open Source.
New Features in Nexus Open Source
With this release, Nexus Open Source gains the following features:
-
Improved, Drill Down Artifact Search Interface
-
Repository Groups can contain both Repositories and other Repository Groups
Improved, Drill Down Artifact Search Interface
When you search for artifacts in Nexus 1.7, you will be presented with a drill down search interface. We made this change to make it easier to search for artifacts, which could return hundreds of results. Using the drill down search interface, you can quickly navigate to the artifacts you are interested in.
NOTE:
We have changed the local format of the lucene indexes. It is required that users reindex all repositories in their Nexus server to start benefiting from the changes (and for search to work properly).
Groups of Groups
Repository Groups can now contain other Repository Groups. This change has already come in handy for developers who want to create variations of the standard public repository group. If you have a series of repository groups that are all similar, you can capture these similarities in another group.
Sonatype is continually making efforts to improve Nexus and make investments in the open source community. Stay tuned for new features in Nexus Professional.
