New XML Wiki
by Martijn Faassen 12 May '00

12 May '00

Hi there, I've started a Wiki on Zope's XML infrastructure, to supplement the zope-xml mailing list on egroups (or is it the other way around?). Here we can discuss the current infrastructure, future plans, and so on. The URL for the wiki is: http://www.zope.org/Members/faassen/XMLWiki It also contains a link to the egroups mailing list, in case you haven't subscribed yet. You can also find the XML wiki from the WikiCentral frontpage. Regards, Martijn

mod_pcgi2 version 1.1.0
by Oleg Broytmann 10 May '00

10 May '00

Hello! http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/mod_pcgi2 New version of mod_pcgi2 released. I did all my best to track and nail down all the problems related to Location. I spent many time with gdb and traced two different problems in Apache. I don't reckon them as "bugs" - these are probably features that I do not get right :) As these are not bugs - there are no fixes and small patches. I needed to create (a little bit too complex) machinery to overcome these features. More details in README and source code. Many people had helped me to debug, most notable Thomas Viehmann <tv(a)beamnet.de>. Cheers, Thomas! Many thanks!!! This is EXPERIMENTAL and DEVELOPMENT release. You are warned! I do not recommend to run it on a production server. Please, report any problems, bugs, failures. And please - report success stories too! After some success stories I'll promote the module to stable state (or will continue debug it).

Zope Tracker available through public CVS as *unsupported* product
by Ken Manheimer 08 May '00

08 May '00

We've had this issue tracker in-house for a while, but we've been swamped with no time to support the thing. A number of people, particularly those exposed to it in the Portal Toolkit effort, have expressed interest in using and or building on it, themselves. Rather than continuing to put off the release, we're releasing it now, with public read-only CVS distribution and more, but without any support commitment, at least for now. In addition to the CVS repository, we've set up some reference and bug-tracking stuff, with community access. So hopefully, to the degree we're not able to field stuff ourselves, at least we'll be able to get out of the way. See http://www.zope.org/Members/klm/TrackerWiki for the whole scoop. Too much on the run, but enthusiastic, Ken Manheimer klm(a)digicool.com

New version of ZStyleSheet product
by Adrian Hungate 05 May '00

05 May '00

I have finally had a chance to get my head down and really learn Python. The result is a far more feature rich product, including the ability to limit branches to only render on specific browsers, and (** Drum Roll **) the ability to import flat static css files, which ZStyleSheets will convert into a dynamic object tree for you!! Well, you may not be impressed, but I have to say that I was not fully aware of the power of Zope and Python until I try some of this stuff!! If you want to try out ZStyleSheet you can find it at http://www.zope.org/Members/haqa/ZStyleSheet Thanks for all the positive feed back on the ZClasses based versions! Enjoy...
