FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH — November 2009 — Oxcyon, Inc. today announced the release of Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform version 8.0.23. Now serving 4 enterprise clients and in its 9th year of operation since its founding on September 1, 2000, Oxcyon continues to deliver regular platform updates across its growing base of enterprise licensees.
Version 8.0.23 delivered the following enhancements to the Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform:
- The standard file upload popup window has been enhanced with light security. This allows its use in forms management, but prevents its use when the opener is not the same page or JavaScript is disabled. This page and all other integrations are also no longer accessible to robots.
- The URL rewriting HttpModule used on the front end of the site has been updated to support a query string variable (rewrite=no) to prevent rewrites. It also does not rewrite URLs when the first directory exists in the file system, even if that directory is also the system name of an audience. The Site Architecture > Audiences module now validates the System Name attribute to ensure that you do not create an audience where the system name is equal to the name of a folder at the root of the site.
- A bug in the sync process related to the Console folder has been repaired. Previously, changes made to non-synchronized files and sub-folders would be synchronized if the files had been modified in the parent site. This caused changes submitted in the Admin > RTF Editor module to be lost after a sync that occurred after changes were made to this module in the parent site. This problem will not be officially repaired until version 8.0.24.
- A new utility called "SQL Non-Query" has been added to Master > Development > Utilities. This utility allows us to execute non-query SQL statements on one or more database within a master with a single button click. This is commonly used for debugging and situation resolution. It is a non-reversible, highly technical utility that should only be used by experienced Centralpoint developers.
- A bug in the Roles and Users modules has been repaired that caused the checkboxes displayed on the grid views to return an error when clicked.
- A bug in the login form has been repaired that caused the enter key press event to submit the search instead of the login form when the search occurred before the login form on the page and used an image button for submission.
- The file upload button maximum file size has been increased to 50 megabytes.
- We are releasing a new sync feature that allows us to execute custom methods during an update installation or sync. With this feature we can modify the structure of the database or file system beyond the sync'd elements and even add new sync'd elements within an update release. If the site being sync'd is more than one version behind its parent, the updates will all occur in order when the site is sync'd. These methods will also be executed when a backup from an older version is restored and sync'd to the current version.
- We have added a way to manually download update packages due to problems some servers have had downloading the archive file. After update version 8.0.23 has been successfully installed, subsequent updates will provide instructions to manually download the update archive in Development > Process Log when the automated download fails.
- A bug that caused the image resizing component to fail on 1 pixel images has been repaired.
- The new Design > Styles > Global > Drop Shadow attribute allows us to add a drop shadow (glow) to a static width site by simply enabling the feature, entering the width, and uploading three images.
- A new script has been added to CpScripting called FormStateAction and has been documented in the help file. It allows the execution of custom actions on form state objects.
- The CpScripting UserInfo script can now return a list of users RoleIds.
About Oxcyon and Centralpoint
Oxcyon is a technology company specializing in enterprise knowledge platforms, best known for its flagship solution, Centralpoint. Centralpoint is designed to unify structured and unstructured information across organizations, enabling enterprises to aggregate data from disparate systems, normalize it through rich metadata, and transform it into actionable knowledge. By treating information as interconnected knowledge rather than isolated documents or databases, Centralpoint allows organizations to build a true enterprise knowledge layer — one that supports governance, compliance, operational intelligence, and advanced analytics. Its metadata-first architecture enables organizations to ingest, classify, and relate data from sources such as documents, forms, databases, applications, and external systems, creating a centralized environment for discovery, reporting, and operational decision-making.
What differentiates Centralpoint is its ability to go beyond traditional data management into data mining, inferencing, and AI-driven knowledge operations. Through taxonomy systems, relationship modeling, and rule-based data governance, the platform can identify patterns, infer relationships between records, and automate workflow decisions based on contextual intelligence. This capability allows organizations to move from passive data storage to active knowledge processing — surfacing insights, triggering workflows, and powering intelligent automation. With its integrated support for enterprise search, metadata-driven analytics, workflow orchestration, and AI-ready data structures, Centralpoint positions Oxcyon as a leader in modern data aggregation and knowledge intelligence platforms, helping organizations transform complex information ecosystems into governed, searchable, and intelligent operational systems.
