ZODB 3.3.1 (final) released
by Tim Peters 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.3.1 (final). You can download a source tarball or Windows installer from: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.3 Note that there are two Windows installers this time, for Python 2.3 and Python 2.4. Choose the one appropriate for your version of Python. There were no substantial changes since the 3.3.1 release candidate two weeks ago; some of the threaded ZEO tests are less likely to fail intermittently, due to changes in the test (not ZEO) code. See the news file for details: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.3/NEWS.html Note that ZODB 3.3.1 does not support any version of Zope 2.6 or 2.7. Current Zope 2.8 and Zope 3 development have moved to ZODB 3.4, so ZODB 3.3.1 is expected to be the last release in the ZODB 3.3 line.

PTProfiler 1.0 beta released
by Guido Wesdorp 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

PTProfiler 1.0 beta released ============================ The Infrae team has just released version 1.0 beta of the PTProfiler tool. This release only adds a small number of minor new features, but since the product has been quite stable for a long time (no bug reports in two years!) we decided to release 1.0. Changes ------- * Expressions now have a nice colour, depending on the type. * 'Clear results' now uses POST on submit, making refreshes not clear the results again (thanks to Alexander Limi!). * Profiling is now disabled by default. What is PTProfiler? ------------------- PTProfiler is a simple tool that monkey-patches Zope's PageTemplate machinery to time all TAL expressions. A special viewer allows you to compare the amount of calls per expression, and the time spent on those calls. This makes it easy to find bottlenecks in page templates. Download -------- PTProfiler can be downloaded here: http://debris.demon.nl/ptp If you have questions or remarks, please send them to guido(a)infrae.com. Cheers, Guido Wesdorp

Localizer 1.1.0 released
by J. David Ibanez 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Localizer 1.1 ============= April 7, 2005 - Two years after release of Localizer 1.0, I am pleased to announce the availability of the next major version, Localizer 1.1. Localizer is a Zope [1] product for developers and web masters. Localizer solves the problem of building multilingual products and web sites, ranging from internationalization and localization of the user interface to management of multilingual content. jdavid at itaapy.com [2] What's new in 1.1 ----------------- This release brings several new features. Specifically Localizer now supports industry standards such as TMX [3] and XLIFF [4], which enhance the interoperability of Localizer based applications within mainstream environments. Native support for 'i18n' namespaces for ZPT (Zope Page Templates) is included avoiding the need to install other products. The user interfaces have been vastly improved, specially for 'LocalContent' objects. Four new translations are available: Danish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian. Localizer 1.1 has been re-packaged and now depends on itools Python package and iHotfix Zope product. While these changes make installation a bit more complex, the added benefit is simplified source management. Furthermore this subtle change makes Localizer Services available to the wider audience of Python [5] developers. Last but not least, Localizer's stability has been dramatically improved by resolution of many bugs resulting in a mature and even more reliable product. Credits ------- This is the first release where the majority of work has been contributed by community users and the original author. Credit where credit is due. To Eduardo Corrales and Roberto Quero from the Deusto University [6], for the original implementation of the TMX standard. To Søren Roug and Cornel Nitu from the European Environment Agency [7], for their work on the TMX code, the implementation of the XLIFF standard, the overhaul of the LocalContent interfaces, and the Danish translation. To Alexey Lubimov for the Russian translation. To Mario Olimpio de Menezes for the original Portuguese translation. To Rodrigo Senra for updating the Portuguese translation, and for improving the Localizer API. To Marco Bizzarri for the Italian translation, and for improving the stability. Download and Install -------------------- 1. Download the Localizer meta-package from http://www.localizer.org 2. Unpack the tarball 3. Follow the instructions within the README file Resources --------- Home http://www.localizer.org Mailing list http://in-girum.net/mailman/listinfo/localizer Bug Tracker http://in-girum.net/cgi-bin/bugzilla/index.cgi References ---------- [1] http://www.zope.org [2] http://www.itaapy.com [3] http://www.lisa.org/tmx/ [4] http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=xliff [5] http://www.python.org [6] http://www.deusto.es/ [7] http://www.eea.eu.int/
