new.zope.org tirekicking take two
by Martijn Pieters 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

Hi all, The CMF-based new.zope.org is ready for a second and probably final round of tirekicking by the Zope community. Please have a good poke about on: http://new.zope.org Zope Corp has worked on the software, and we believe that it is now ready for the community to take over, but we do want you to go around and try things out first, and most of all file reports about problems you find, so we can make a last round of fixes. Note that in this process we have completely cleared out the old new.zope.org database, and re-migrated all content from www.zope.org again, so you will not find anything there you previously may have created on this site. Also, the user database from www.zope.org has been re-exported, so all new accounts created just for new.zope.org are gone as well. New accounts on www.zope.org are now of course available on new.zope.org as well. Please file any bugs and other problems with new.zope.org in the Collector: http://collector.zope.org/ZopeOrg -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@zope.com | Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------

RELEASED - StandaloneZODB 1.0 release candidate 1
by barry＠zope.com 25 Jan '02

25 Jan '02

I'm please to announce the first official release of StandaloneZODB, the Python object persistency system also known as the Z Object Database. ZODB is the object-oriented database underlying Zope; the StandaloneZODB project's goal is to provide those same facilities to non-Zope related Python applications. Today we are releasing StandaloneZODB 1.0 release candidate 1. We expect to release the final version on 1-Feb-2002. StandaloneZODB is based on the same code as the ZODB in Zope, albeit on a separate release branch. Its inspiration comes from Andrew Kuchling's StandaloneZODB project on SourceForge. While there are still some differences, the Standalone 1.0 release is the first on the path toward convergence. Subsequent releases should complete the merge of Andrew's and Zope Corporation's packages. The StandaloneZODB release includes the following components: - Core ZODB, including the persistence machinery - Standard storages such as FileStorage - Supporting modules such as ExtensionClass - The persistent BTrees modules - ZEO - Experimental Berkeley storages - Some documentation <wink> See the README file for details on building and installing StandaloneZODB. For details on using ZODB, see Andrew's included user guide. StandaloneZODB 1.0c1 is released under the ZPL 2.0. It should be compatible with all Python versions from Python 2.1 to Python 2.2. It may or may not work with versions earlier than Python 2.1. Download StandaloneZODB-1.0c1.tgz from: http://www.zope.org/Products/StandaloneZODB and visit the StandaloneZODB Wiki page at: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/StandaloneZODB See also: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/FrontPage for more information about our long-range ZODB plans. Enjoy, -Barry Barry A. Warsaw Zope Corporation, Pythonlabs barry(a)zope.com
