ZOPE 2.6.2 Beta 5 Released Zope 2.6.2b5 represents a development step in the next Zope release formed with a large number of community contributions. You may download Zope 2.6.2b5 from Zope.org: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.6.2b5/ Users of the Zope source release should note that Python 2.1.3 is now the required platform. Python 2.1.3 includes a fix to an issue that could cause crashes in Zope. Users who upgrade from source MUST RUN a |make clean| and |make| command to build the proper binaries correctly; distutils will skip compilation of the library modules needed for Zope and will cause errors if they are not up to date. Particular features of interest in Zope 2.6.2b5: * Fixed an error where ZClasses that subclassed ObjectManager would not load. * Fixed a case where objects trying to check access rights on behalf of another user were unable to do so. * Fixed memory leak with Page Templates * Python 2.2 compatibility fixes * Back ports of BTrees fixes * Back ports of ZODB fixes relating to the packing of storage, where a packed database could contain an UNDO transaction which referred to data which had been discarded by the pack * A fix for fsrecover.py which prevented it from recovering any data * Fixes for collector issues 256, 514, 683, 814, 816, 823, 875, 882, 892, 902, 928, 937, 939, 954, 956, 959, 964 For more information on what is new in this release, see the CHANGES.txt and HISTORY.txt files for the release: * http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.6.2b5/CHANGES.txt * http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.6.2b5/HISTORY.txt For more information on the available Zope releases, guidance for selecting the right distribution and installation instructions, please see: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/InstallingZope.html -- Matt Kromer Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/

First Plone Conference
by alan runyan 21 Jul '03

21 Jul '03

**Plone: In Development and Production** Plone - the platform that extends the award-winning Zope application server is having it's first conference. Plone is used as the basis for building Intranets, Content Management Systems, Inventory Management systems and corporate websites. Now users, developers and consultants will have a opportunity to attend a three day conference specifically focusing on the Plone platform. If you use or plan on using Plone or Zope - *you do not want to miss this event!* The first Plone conference will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana in the United States from October 15-17, 2003. The conference space is located in Tulane University and will be supported by Tulane Univerisity Conference Services. There will be connectivity (wireless and corded), snacks, and lunches on campus (can accomodate both meat and leaf eaters alike). Of course, after the conference days we have all of New Orleans to choose from to drink, eat, and listen to fantastic music. The conference has two tracks of concerns or "themes" which are not specifically solely related to Plone. The themes are "Development" and "Production" and all tutorials and presentations will centered around the themes. This conference is to bootstrap the earliest of participants into the world of Plone and Zope. We are still accepting proposals for presentations and tutorials. The goal of the conference is simple: have fun, exchange ideas, and lots of interaction between participants and presenters. The Plone community have always been filled with gregarious members and conferences are a good way for people to put faces to names; sketch out problems on boards; demo software and ideas that are currently in development. There will be a keynote speaker (TBA) as well as a State of the Plone address by both Alexander Limi and Alan Runyan. Other talkers include: Chris McDonough from Zope Corp., Andy McKay and Laura Trippi. Most of the core Plone developers, will be in attendance. The goal is to give participants a good view on how Plone and supporting technologies are being used in the "Real World", whilst having a bit of fun. Registration is now online (using Paypal). You can reach it by http://plone.org/events/conferences/1/registration . Accomodations are left to the participants (there are suggestions on the conference page). We will support the conference infrastructure and recommend places to socalize at after the conference. Come out to the conference and engross yourself into Plone for three days. Don't miss the early bird discounts on registration and tutorials! Register Now! The First Plone Conference homepage - http://plone.org/events/conferences/1 The Plone Team

[ANN] TextIndexNG 2.0 final released
by Andreas Jung 20 Jul '03

20 Jul '03

I am pleased to announce the final release of TextIndexNG 2.0. What's new in TextIndexNG 2.0? - Relevance ranking of search results added. Searches are now ranked using an extended cosine measure. The cosine measure is based on a vector model and calculates the document "score" based on the frequency of the query terms inside the document result set. - Much faster phrase/near search: the old implementation of TextIndexNG had to perform a very expensive job at query time when phrase/near search was performed. Re-using the !WidCode module of !ZCTextIndex made this operation less expensive. - Left-truncation added: TextIndexNG can be configured creation-time time to support left-truncation (means you can search for "*suffix") - optional auto-expansion support: This optional feature also to get better search results when some of the query terms could not be found. The index expands a query term "foo" to "foo*" if there was no hit for "foo". This expansion is currently global for the index. This feature will be available on a per-query basis in a later version. (Auto-expansion will be extended in a later version to search for similar terms) - improved HTML converter: now using Chris Withers "Strip-o-Gram" module instead of the Strip-Tag-Parser - added converter for text/sgml - Similarity search (soundex, metaphone, doublemetaphone) dropped and replace with a more general approach and language indepedant approach using the Levenshtein distance. - internal code cleanup, more unittests - range searches like "Fi..Foo" - substring searches "*substring*" - reduced conflict errors caused by the lexicon/storage implementation - no longer conflicts with TextIndex V 1 installations Download: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50052 http://www.zope.org/Members/ajung/TextIndexNG/ Project Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Members/ajung/TextIndexNG/ Note: there are currently no binary packages available for the TextIndexNG extension modules. They will be provided at a later time.
