Nuxeo CPS is an extensive collaborative Web content management system (CMS) implemented on top of Zope and the CMF. Nuxeo CPS enables organizations to easily, quickly and efficiently implement collaborative intranet, extranet or internet applications. CPS3 is the next generation of CPS, and builds on the strengths of CSP2.

Workflow can be tuned for very different purposes (e.g. collaboration vs. publication). * Portal customisation system based on "boxes" with several boxes types already provided. * Internationalisation (2 language are currently available in this beta: english and french). *More information* You can find more information about CPS3 in the EuroPython slides (http://www.europython.org/Talks/Slides/cps_europython_2003.pdf) See also the Nuxeo web site (http://www.nuxeo.com/en/) and CPS Project (http://www.cps-project.org/) for more details. *Getting involved* There is now a cps-devel mailing list (http://lists.nuxeo.com/mailman/listinfo/cps-devel) for CPS3 (and CPS2) developers.

[ANN] ZShell v1.60 is out
by Jerome Alet 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hi there, I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of ZShell v1.60. ZShell is a Zope External Method which allows Zope admins to manage the Zope Objects DataBase with commands similar to *nix shell ones, directly from within your web browser. With more than 60 commands, ZShell is the Swiss Army's Knife of the Zope administrator, and makes easy things which are impossible to do with the native Zope Management Interface. ZShell is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License from : http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/ You can even try it online (old version though, and in readonly mode) from the above website. This bug fix release is now compatible with Python v2.2 and above. The use of the insecure rexec module was completely removed and replaced with new code. Thanks to Lucas De Vitis and Jim Penny for the bug report. Feel free to send comments or flames to : Jerome Alet -- "A non-free program is a predatory social system that keeps people in a state of domination and division, and uses the spoils to dominate more." - RMS

[Zope-Annce] Zwiki 0.24 released, zope.org release scripts available
by Simon Michael 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Zwiki 0.24 has been released. Release notes copied below, more information at http://zwiki.org . Also, those of you doing product releases on zope.org may find the release automation rules in http://zwiki.org/zwikidir/Makefile useful. Best wishes -Simon Summary Bugfixes. Upgrade notes Reminder: the plone skin disables DTML-based pages (like RecentChanges) by default now. If you wish to enable those you'll need to remove the ZWiki/skins/zwiki_plone/no_dtml.dtml file after an upgrade. In the ZMI add menu, "ZWiki Web" is now just "ZWiki". Changes General * change ZMI add menu's 'Wiki' to 'ZWiki', to locate it back beside 'ZWiki Page' * hide the WWML page type option by default in cmf/plone, by installing an allowed_page_types property on the portal folder during install (for limi) * make new hierarchy methods more robust when a page has bogus parents; also, check new parents more carefully. reparent() now also accepts fuzzy page names & ids, removes duplicates, and leaves parents sorted. The backlinks form's parent text field now interprets the string as a single page name, like the page management form. (IssueNo0633, IssueNo0634) * context(with_siblings=1) no longer includes the current page's children, which I think was a regression. (IssueNo0629) * fix missing import that confused error messages during upgrades * log individual page upgrade errors in upgradeAll rather than aborting the whole process * log STX rendering errors (eg from tables) rather than breaking the page * added/cleaned up tests, all tests pass again, the CMF/Plone-specific tests now work with (and require) plone 2 and all it's dependencies. * dublin core fixes, so wiki pages should show correct modification time, ownership etc. in CMF/Plone Skins and content * allow access to diff screens (but not full history button) without 'View history' permission * the access key for backlinks is now L everywhere * zwiki_plone: tidy up wikinav_portlet a little Mail and messages * fixed never-encountered bug in subscriber list upgrading (IssueNo0540)
