Most notable among the product's new capabilities is the ability for Cumulus to send automated e-mail notifications when category assignments are made or changed. This enables organisations that use Cumulus categories for project management (in addition to digital asset management) to keep selected employees up to date as assets move through their development pipelines.

Adobe's InDesign CS4 is now supported by the powerful Cumulus InDesign plug-in, which ships with all Cumulus servers. Also newly supported is the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM), a specification of the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative made available by the Office of the United States Secretary of Defence.

Enhanced metadata support is now available for Microsoft Visio. When Visio files are cataloged, their entire text contents can be extracted and saved as searchable metadata by Cumulus.

Version 7.6.1 is the final scheduled Cumulus product line update before the release of Cumulus 8, expected later this year. You can download a complete list of the new 7.6.1 features from here.
