Dec. 17, 2007 - PRLog -- eZ Components is an enterprise-ready general-purpose PHP components

The Tree component enables you to create, manipulate and query tree  
structures. For example, a tree structure might be an abstraction of  
the structure of a website that expresses the relationship between  
site objects. The Tree component supports multiple database storage  
techniques and also supports storage via persistent objects.

The Webdav component enables users to upload and download content by  
dragging and dropping files and folders to and from the desktop. With  
a WebDAV-enabled HTTP server built from eZ Components, you can  
provide your site visitors with a simple mechanism for accessing and  
updating batches of content (such as images, video files and text  
objects). The Webdav component is a stand-alone implementation that  
does not have any external dependencies.

This release of eZ Components also includes enhancements to existing  
components:

- The Authentication component provides better OpenID support with  
the addition of "immediate"  mode (which provides a better user  
experience by preventing browser redirects).

- The Graph component includes a new stacked bar chart display type.

- The Mail component includes more SMTP authentication mechanisms  
(DIGEST-MD5, CRAM-MD5, NTLM and LOGIN).

- The Cache component now includes support for APC and memcache back-
ends, which can dramatically increase cache performance.
