COMAND Systems released webCOMAND 3.0.9 today, which introduces publish dependencies.

The publish process can now be configured to track publish dependencies, which can be used by future publishes to determine which Publication Procedures need to be reprocessed due to changes in the object repository.  For example, if a web page is published that references a Header Template, and therefore depends on it to publish, that information will be tracked.  If the Header Template is changed, that dependency can be used to determine that all web pages that referenced it be republished.

For more information, see the Dependencies Configuration webCOMAND Docs.
