As Microsoft Silverlight technology is becoming increasingly popular, it will be supported in the upcoming eZ Publish 4.1 release. Sites using the Website Interface and eZ Flow will include a Silverlight class and the corresponding view templates. Simply upload .xap files (compressed Silverlight package) as attributes in Silverlight objects; when such an object is viewed by a site visitor, your Silverlight media is loaded in the web browser (provided that the visitor has the Silverlight browser plugin installed). This is similar to how eZ Publish already supports .swf files via the Flash class. More information will be available as the next eZ Publish release date approaches.

I happy to announce first eZ Publish developer day that will be held in Warsaw in Poland on 15th of April 2008. First time eZ goes to Poland ;) eZ Publish developer day is community-driven event and open for all attendees. Agenda will be settled at the event by the attendees. Some discussions will be in English.

A roadmap for the next eZ Publish releases is now available. eZ Publish 4.1, the next major release, will include the new Online Editor, as was previously mentioned in Community Newsletter #1/2008. The new Online Editor will have various enhancements regarding usability and the user interface, and will support Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Vista. eZ Publish 4.1 is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2008.

URL management was enhanced in version 3.10, as new multilingual URL aliases were introduced. From following the ez.no forums a bit, it seems as though some users are having problems with "old virtual URLs" in the new system.

Here are some important information about changes in eZ Publish 4.0 and it's requirements (rest you can find in the official release announcement).
