Major changes

The Deployment Workspace has been improved:
- There is a new interface for creating applications. To access it, click the button on the Packages pane.
- There is a new interface for creating environments. To access it, click the button on the Deployed Applications pane.
- You can set up a deployment by dragging an application or a deployment package onto the target environment or onto a deployed application.
- Deployeds are automatically mapped when you set up a deployment. You can use the buttons at the top of the Deployment Workspace to change the mapping.
Other parts of the user interface have also been improved:
- In the Repository, you can double-click an item in the hierarchy (such as a directory) to expand it.
- The menu that appears in the top-right corner has been improved.
- New icons for applications, environments, infrastructure, and other items have been introduced.
The installation process has been improved:
- An installer has been introduced for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
- You can now easily install XL Deploy as a service or daemon in Unix and Microsoft Windows environments.
The new satellite feature allows you to execute deployments on remote data centers. Please note that this is a paid feature.
XL Deploy supports dependencies between versions of different applications.
You can refer from deployment packages to artifacts that are stored in an external location such as a Maven repository (including Artifactory and Nexus).
XL Deploy allows you to define schedules for automatically purging deployment packages and tasks.
A new plugin format called XLDP bundles each plugin with all of its dependencies, for easier installation. Installing plugins as JAR files is still supported.
Four new by deployment group orchestrators allow you to use a container's deployment sub-group and deployment sub-sub-group properties to control deployments that are done sequentially and in parallel.

Important: XL Deploy 5.0.0 requires a new license. Download your license at https://dist.xebialabs.com.
