Our long awaited product - Courier - for handling umbraco deployment is getting more and more mature and is finally close for beta release.
Instead of having one major product, Courier will be spitted into two products; "Courier for Content" and "Courier for Development" with the first one coming in a beta release next month. Both products will revolutionize umbraco deployment and makes it possible to transfer content and functionality between servers just by dragging and dropping - it's really Drag. Drop. Deploy.
It has taken an incredible long time and almost three years of R&D with a ton of failed attempts to solve the deployment issue in a stable and intuitive matter, but now we've nailed it and it's actually fun to deploy.
The Courier for Content does what it says - it lets you transfer umbraco nodes related to content (including Media) from one place to another - usually being between Dev/Stage/Prod environments, but the perspective is even bigger. With Courier for Content you can plan new editions of sites behind a firewall and publish the whole section in one transaction with a single drag'n'drop operation. It's hard to describe in words (especially with my limited vocabulary ;-)) so I can't wait to get some screenshots/video uploaded.
Courier for Development will follow in Q2.
