Slide 2.x
> Slide 2.0b1
> > This is the first beta of Slide's major release 2.0. It can be considered generally incompatible to the previous 1.x release. Slide's main focus has shifted to a fully transactional content repository supporting file system stores as well as database stores. Both can be considered to be of a much higher quality in terms of correctness and completeness than the ones of the 1.x release.
