Virtual Host Folder beta 2
by Gary Poster 04 Dec '01

04 Dec '01

Second beta release. Small bug fixes and updates to help files (see CHANGES.txt in distro). Seems very stable, but I'll wait another week or so at least before changing the status to 'stable'. The problem with help files I reported before apparently appears only on my Win2000 Zope--the uncooperative help file loads correctly on my other systems. http://www.zope.org/Members/poster/VHF Please report any problems, and enjoy! (I probably won't go down the Component path and explicitly define the class interfaces until (a) I get around to looking at Zope 3X or (b) someone requests it.) Virtual Host Folder: a virtual host manager using the same functional core as the Virtual Host Monster from EvanSimpson's SiteAccess (as further modified by iMeme). More options, more help files, Zope folder-like interface with hopefully improved ease-of-use. Gary

by Jephte CLAIN 03 Dec '01

03 Dec '01

this one fixes an issue with unicode objects returned from win32 hopefully, this makes it compatible with Zope 2.4.x note: because of my lack of time, I am not on the list, and so I don't keep track of all the last improvements in Zope. this one is a (not so) quick fix to a reported problem in jcNTUserFolder. I want to start developpement again on jcNTUserFolder, but don't hold your breathe :-) regards, jephte.clain(a)univ-reunion.fr
