[ANN] CMFCollectorNG 0.10 released
by Andreas Jung 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

The very first public release of CMFCollectorNG 0.10 is now available. CMFCollectorNG is a Zope/CMF-based bugtracking system. It is based on the former CMFCollector written by Ken Manheimer of Zope Corporation. This release is a good starting point for further community development (e.g. internationalized versions (the current UI is in German *only*)). What's new? - major code cleanup and complete new skins - very generic ticket properties management - enhanced tracker configuration through the web - extend usage of the CMF memberdata tool to store user informations and user preferences - rewritten transcript to keep issue related informations in an abstract format to produce different output (HTML, plain text for email notifications) - tickets can have references to other tickets (also across CMFCollectorNG instances) - dedicated views for uploaded files and references to other tickets - better roles management: * *TrackerAdmin* manage the tracker * *Supporters* can file tickets, create followups, upload files, add references to other tickets * *Reporters* can file new tickets and upload files and references - preliminary support for XML export - much more minor improvements (too much to mention them :-) ) Wikipage: http://www.zope.org/Members/ajung/CMFCollectorNG/Wiki/FrontPage Sourceforge project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmfcollectorng --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Andreas Jung http://www.andreas-jung.com - - EMail: andreas at andreas-jung.com - - "Life is too short to (re)write parsers" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

[ANNOUNCE] ZWeatherApplet v1.50
by Jerome Alet 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hi, I'm pleased to announce ZWeatherApplet v1.50 ZWeatherApplet is a Zope Weather applet available under the GNU GPL. Just add a ZWeatherApplet instance for each location you want to get the weather, fill in the four letter Metar location code using the new station selector, and that's it. New features : - Aesthetical changes, thanks to Klaus Alexander Seistrup. - Station selector, to help when selecting a Station code. - Support for CSS. - Minor bug fixes. - Images which represent the weather conditions are now cacheable by web browsers. Weather info is cached for 15 minutes, unless you modify the location code. By default only a subpart of the available weather info is displayed, but much more methods are available so you can display the weather information in any way you want. Read the source or click on the Help link to learn more. To learn more about it, see an online demo, or download it, please go to: http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/ NB : You'll also need the pymetar v0.4 module from Tobias Klausmann and myself, available from : http://unattached.i-no.de/software-pymetar.shtml comments are welcome, Jerome Alet

This should make addressing and replying more natural. * allow subject headings in mail and web comments. (To set the subject from a web comment, use an initial one-line paragraph that is bold (using '** or < b>') and no longer than 100 characters.) Subjects are saved as edit log note and vice versa. * generate a mailout when pages are created * mailin page creation fixes * mailin: handle freeform page names * mailin: work even when default page is not found, as long as there's at least one wiki page in the folder. * mailin: add some failure logging * look for 'mailin_policy' property instead of 'posting_policy'; the latter is still supported but deprecated * don't use < hr> in comment headings Skins and wiki content * clean out & reorganize templates and default content under skins, content * new unified RecentChanges implementation; use SITE_CATALOG, remove hard-coded zwiki.org General * wiki links to pages with accented names (and freeform names in general if standard_error_message is not present ?) were not working * parent wiki links were generating an error * workaround for zope 2.6 stx+dtml breakage (IssueNo0270) * fix for "some permissions had errors" (IssueNo0358) * fix title changing in ZMI Edit tab (IssueNo0280) * increase the added and removed lines truncation limits for diffs and mailouts (to 200 and 20 lines respectively) * ZWikiPage class initialization fix; fixes an event log file warning (and.. ?) * auto-upgrade WikiForNow pages * log messages at BLATHER priority instead of DEBUG, and don't require the Z_DEBUG_MODE or ZWIKI_DEBUG variable any more
