Miami, FL - dotCMS, a leading-edge, open source hybrid content management software company, announces their latest release, dotCMS 5.1.5 which adds new features, performance improvements for customers with large content repositories, and minor upgrades. This release builds upon its most recent major release, dotCMS 5.1.

Notable changes in dotCMS 5.1.5. include:

• Custom content portlets that let users design their own content portlets (e.g. “News Manager”)
• Layouts can now add classes to Rows and Containers
• New Stateless API Tokens which can be issued / revoked from the UI
• A cleaner, redesigned login screen
• Legacy dotCMS endpoints now accept JSON and API tokens (for example, adding and pushing a bundle)
• Reindex performance has been greatly improved
• Workflow APIs can be used instead of the Content APIs to push API Content through defined workflow processes.  Content that uses the Workflow API can include binaries and relationships. Workflow actions can be specified by name or id (feature parity with /api/content)
