Presto® 2.7 Makes Mashups Easier and Safer

The Spring 2009 Edition of Presto, version 2.7, is now available. The enhanced features of Presto 2.7 makes mashups easier and safer to use by allowing a broader group of business users to visually create mashups quickly and safely. The free Presto 2.7 Developer Edition is available on JackBe's Mashup Developer Community.

Specific enhancements to Presto 2.7 include:

  • a more intuitive, user-focused update of Wires, the Presto Visual Mashup Composer, for easier mashup creation,
  • improved ‘Mashup Macros’, customizable mashup transformations for highly personalized, contextual mashups,
  • security enhancements that detect and deny malicious code from public data sources, for safer mashups,
  • extended browser support, including IE6, IE7, Firefox 3.0, and the Safari 4 Beta, making mashup creation even more accessible.

    JackBe has also announced a ‘Share your Mashup Macro’ contest. Enterprise mashers can share their Mashup Macros, win prize money, earn recognition, and perhaps even have their Mashup Macros included in the next edition of Presto. Developers can visit the Share-Your-Mashup-Macro Contest page for more contest details.
