The Zope Content Management Framework provides a set of services and content objects useful for building highly dynamic, content-oriented portal sites. As packaged, the CMF generates a site much like the Zope.org site. The CMF is intended to be easily customizable, in terms of both the types of content used and the policies and services it provides.

ZODB 3.3 release candidate 1 released
by Tim Peters 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.3c1. This corresponds to the ZODB (and ZEO) that we intend to ship with ZopeX3-3.0.0 release candidate 1. You can download a source tarball or Windows installer from: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.3 3.3c1 incorporates a slew of small fixes, and one major incompatibility: when a transaction commit fails, all previous versions of ZODB aborted the transaction and implicitly began a new transaction. As discussed on the zope-dev and zodb-dev mailing lists, that can be damaging if one in a sequence of subtransaction commits mistakenly suppresses a commit exception. Starting with ZODB 3.3c1, after a commit fails subsequent attempts to commit, join or register with the transaction will also fail. The failing transaction must instead be explicitly discarded. See the news file for details: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.3/NEWS.html The intent is that 3.3c1 will be released again as ZODB 3.3 (final) shortly before the ZopeX3-3.0.0 final release. Note that ZODB 3.3 does not support any version of Zope 2.6 or 2.7.

Silva 1.1 beta 2 released
by Martijn Faassen 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

Silva 1.1 beta 2 released ========================= Infrae has just released Silva 1.1 beta 2. Silva 1.1 includes the following new features: * XSLT support for rendering Silva objects. This adds more flexibility to the way Silva objects are presented, and when used also provide a nice performance boost. XSLT support can optionally be enabled on a per-object basis. XSLT support needs libxml2/libxslt, but Silva also continues to work if you do not have these installed. * A new XML export/system that can also export and import asset data in a zip file. * abbr and acronym support for both forms editor and Kupu. * New parser for SilvaDocument forms-based editor, using a HTML subset instead of the old-style method using special characters. This should increase the performance of the parser and makes it easier to use. Silva 1.1 beta 2 also should work with Silva News 1.0 and SilvaExternalSources 0.9, both to be found on the Infrae website. Beta 2 contains a revision of the new XSLT system, and various cleanups and bugfixes. Upgrading from beta 1 requires the removal of service_renderer_registry from service and doing a 'Refresh all' in service_extensions. Download -------- Silva's download site has recently moved off zope.org to the infrae.com website. Silva can be downloaded here: http://www.infrae.com/download/Silva/ The easiest way is to download the Silva-1.1b2-all.tgz file, and unpack this in your products directory. See the INSTALL.txt included in the Silva product for more information. For Silva extensions such as SilvaNews and SilvaExternalSources, please see the overview here: http://www.infrae.com/download/ What is Silva? -------------- Silva is a completely browser based CMS for creating publications for the web, paper, and other media. Content is stored in a clean and future-proof format, independent of layout and presentation, suitable for use in multiple contexts. Silva allows novice users to enter new documents as well as edit existing documents using a simple web interface. For more information about Silva, please see: http://www.infrae.com/products/silva
