The Zope 3 development team is proud to announce Zope 3.2.0 beta 2.
Zope 3 is the next major Zope release and has been written from scratch based
on the latest software design patterns and the experiences of Zope 2.
It is our opinion that Zope 3 is more than ready for production use,
which is why we decided to drop the 'X' for experimental from the name. We
will also continue to work on making the transition between Zope 2 and Zope 3
as smooth as possible. As a first step, Zope 2.8 includes Zope 3 features in
the form of Five. This is a long term effort. We're not there yet.
**You can't run Zope 2 applications in Zope 3.**
Downloads
http://zope.org/Products/Zope3
Installation instructions for both Windows and Un*x/Linux are now available
in the top level 'README.txt' file of the distribution. The binary installer
is recommended for Windows.
Zope 3.2 requires Python 2.4.2 to run. You must also have zlib
installed on your system.
Most Important Changes Since 3.2b1
New features
- Added an option to mkzopeinstance to create instances that use
ZServer, rather than Twisted.
- Changed the way returning large results is
handled. Applications can now simply return files to the
publisher.
Bug Fixes
- Added input buffering to the twisted integration
- Fixed the plumbing in ZServer so that attempts to return large
output efficiently using iterators can actually succeed.
For a complete list of changes see the 'CHANGES.txt' file.

Hi all,
on behalf of Zope Corporation and the Zope community I am pleased to
announce the release of Zope 2.8.5. You can download Zope 2.8.5 from
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.5/
Some new features of Zope 2.8:
- ZODB 3.4 with MVCC (multi version concurrency control) support.
MVCC solves nearly every problem with ZODB read-conflict errors
which is very important for high-traffic Zope sites.
- Extension Classes were rewritten as Python new-style classes making
all features of Python new-style classes available in Zope
objects. This includes support for cyclic garbage collection.
- Integration of Zope 3 technologies through Five (see
http://codespeak.net/z3/five/)
For more information on what is new in this release, see the
CHANGES.txt files for the release:
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.5/CHANGES.txt
See also:
http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/Zope2.8/OverView
Please bring all the bugs you have found to the Zope bugtracker:
http://collector.zope.org/Zope":http://collector.zope.org/Zope
For more information on the available Zope releases, guidance for selecting
the right distribution and installation instructions, please see:
http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/InstallingZope.stx
Please also keep in mind that Zope 2.8.5 requires Python 2.3.5. Zope 2.8.5
is not certified for any Python 2.4.x versions. So using Python 2.4 is
neither recommended nor supported and any related questions or problems are
likely to be ignored until 2.4 is an officially supported Python version
for Zope.

Stepper is a framework for performing asynchronous tasks on Zope servers.
This is a bug fix release that corrects some problems with the 1.4.0
release.
The major bugs fixed for this release were:
- Write conflict errors are now handled in the same way as read conflict
errors.
- Stepper is no longer left locked if a conflict error occurs.
- Nothing is now logged to the console in quiet mode, even with
Zope 2.8.
Several other small bugs were also fixed.
For more information, please see:

cheers,

Hi all!
I'm slightly burned out and bored with certain areas of Zope 2 Zwiki
development. I think the product will provide some value for a while
yet, and it's not too late to shake things up and make a bigger splash.
If we don't do this during the period of Zwiki & Zope 2's relevance, our
good work will bring less benefit than it might have. So I'm putting out
a call for help. I'd really like to see more people take on development
of Zwiki.
What are the roadblocks - of my making, and otherwise - to a more active
Zwiki developer community ? For one thing I needed to nail down some
copyright/license issues more explicitly, to make contributing and
accepting contributions more of a no-brainer. Here's my latest thinking:
LICENSE
Much Zope code uses the ZPL. We want to maximize code sharing and
participation with the whole Zope community. Much of the rest of the
FOSS world uses the GPL, and the same goes for them. Dual GPL/ZPL
licensing may seem a good option, but I'm convinced it's not worth the
added complexity, legal uncertainty and fragmentation; either straight
GPL or straight ZPL is preferable. GPL is the mainstream license for the
future IMHO, I think it's still the best option, and I have no plan to
leave it. Also I think we should adopt GPLv3?
<http://zwiki.org/PolicyAnnouncementDraft/createform?page=GPLv3> when
it's ready. That said, there's now clear policy allowing non-GPL code to
be added to Zwiki if necessary (below). Also I remain open to license
exemption requests from Zope developers.
COPYRIGHT
I no longer think the single copyright holder policy is best for this
project, and I'm going to drop it. I am changing the main repo's policy
to multiple copyright holders (& allowing multiple licenses), with the
simple condition that the overall project manager is assigned the right
to relicense to newer license versions. The powerful darcs revision
control system (together with new CONTRIBUTORS list) should help us to
keep track of copyright & licensing status and even remove problematic
commits later if needed.
CONTRIBUTOR'S AGREEMENT
To ensure that everyone gets proper credit for their work; a clear audit
trail and legal status for the project; and that the project can remain
license-compatible with other free & open-source software in future, I
have added a very simple contributor agreement/contributor list:
http://zwiki.org/repos/ZWiki/CONTRIBUTORS.txt . All Zwiki contributors
should read and consider signing this file, to help us meet these goals.
You can follow this easy procedure to add your name to the glorious list:
(install darcs if needed, see http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/CategoryBinaries)
darcs get --partial http://zwiki.org/repos/ZWiki
cd ZWiki
echo "- Your Name <your@email>" >>CONTRIBUTORS.txt
darcs record -a -m"signed it" CONTRIBUTORS.txt
(enter your name & email address again)
darcs send
This will become the authoritative list of code committers (at least),
and I'll be working to make sure all of you are listed properly. Many
have donated their time and creativity over the years - this list will
make that clearer.
All comments, help and other ideas welcome. And I hope to see some of
you online or off. Happy holidays, and thanks
-Simon

I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG V 3.1.3.
TextIndexNG V 3 is a complete new implementation based on Zope 3
technologies and can be used both in Zope 2.8 or in Zope 3.
What's new?
- multi-field indexing and query support
- multi-lingual support
- configurable converters (through ZCML)
- new indexing API (allowing you to hook your custom content types with
TextIndexNG through Zope 3 adapters).
Changes in V 3.1.3:
- some fixed in the Plone integration introduced in V 3.1.2
Requirements:
- Zope 2.8+, Zope 3.1+
Download:
http://sf.net/projects/textindexng
Project page:
http://opensource.zopyx.biz/OpenSource/TextIndexNG3
For installation and documentation issues refer to doc/README.txt from the
archive. It's basically the same procedure as with former versions except
you *need* to recompile the extension modules. Windows binaries of the
required extension modules are currently not available (any volunteers?).
TextIndexNG V 3 is published under the ZPL.
