Alfresco has released the last GA version for 5.2 CE, available at 201707 GA Release.
In the next months, version 6 will start to produce some EA (Early Access) release before the first GA (Generally Available) release will be available.
For Alfresco 5.2. CE, this process has produced 3 EA releases and 5 GA release in about 1 year:
- Alfresco Community Edition 201606 EA Release Notes
- Alfresco Community Edition 201609 EA Release Notes
- Alfresco Community Edition 201611 EA Release Notes
- Alfresco Community Edition 201612 GA Release Notes
- Alfresco Community Edition 201701 GA Release Notes
- Alfresco Community Edition 201702 GA Release Notes
- Alfresco Community Edition 201704 GA Release Notes
- Alfresco Community Edition 201707 GA Release Notes
In this 201707 GA Release is important to note that GhostScript has been replaced by PDFium, due to license changes in gs. Also a new SOLR 6 component is available for using in real environments.
Alfresco Community 6 will be adapted to the new architecture designed for the product, closer to a service composition approach, and components will be probably rebranded:
- Alfresco Content Services as core part of the Alfresco Repository
- Alfresco Process Services instead of the BPM engine previously named Activiti
- Alfresco Search Services as new horizontal service, before it was released within Alfresco Repository as SOLR 4
- Alfresco Governance Services is the new name for Record Management
- Alfresco REST API as OpenAPIs component, before it was released within Alfresco Repository
- Alfresco ADF as new development framework for frontend
- Alfresco SDK as development framework for backend
It’s now a good chance to upgrade your Alfresco server with this last 5.2 release, as several months will happen before Alfresco 6 is recommended for prod environments. And it looks like version 6 will be radically different to current 5 branch.
Hi, Mr Borroy, can you tell me if there is a Alfresco Simple OCR Action for this Alfresco version?? Thank you.

1.1.1 addon release works properly with Alfresco 201707
“And it looks like version 6 will be radically different to current 5 branch.”
That is something I am worried about 😐
