Zwiki 0.45 released
by Simon Michael 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Zwiki is a free wiki engine for Zope, for creating both standard Zope and CMF/Plone wikis. You can find out all about it at http://zwiki.org . This month we have some http://joyfulsystems.blogspot.com/2005/09/bug-squashing.html and the return of CMF metadata. Thanks to alecm, jbb, Tim Olsen and Mark Ferrell in particular. Summary Robustness fixes, Plone 2.1 compatibility fixes, simplifications, CMF metadata support. Upgrade notes You might want to delete the "outline" object using the ZMI, allowing Zwiki to create a more ZMI-compliant one. Note this will lose any manual re-ordering of subtopics you may have done. The default colour for "serious" issues is lighter. This will take effect for each issue page as it is edited. To make all pages show the correct colour right away, visit SomePage/upgradeAll in your browser. Changes Installing * make the outline cache replaceable to avoid errors during migration of plone 2.1rc<3 sites (#1143, SM, alecm) * make catalog lookup more robust when there is another object named Catalog (#1132, SM, Tim Olsen) * catch errors when importing page types and plugins at startup (#809, #1148) * make fit import error at startup less verbose (#1054) Configuring * make the outline cache object fully ZMI-manageable (#1144) * drop support for alternate catalog names via SITE_CATALOG property * drop support for overriding the contents view with a SiteMap page * don't update page creation times when moving/renaming/importing in the ZMI * Browsing* Editing * fix page creation/editing breakage in plone 2.1 due to explicit acquisition (#1137, SM, alecm) * enable CMF/Plone document metadata support (jbb) * Page hierarchy* * Mail* Issue tracking * make the serious issue default colour lighter * allow issues without numbers (with at least a "status" property) General - i18n * remove unnecessary -en po files * add missing headers for german po * drop unnecessary -PT for pt po files * fix space-separated i18n attributes to avoid deprecation warnings on startup General - skins * make hasSkinTemplate check filesystem templates, such as the alternate subtopics template (#1113, Mark Ferrell, SM) * drop the special style for ratings, for now General * allow create to work without a request, for debugging * merge moin_support.py with moin.py for easier handling * don't bother noting pre-renders in the transaction log (#948) * drop unused getSkinTemplateWithDefault method Best, -Simon

ZODB 3.5 final released
by Tim Peters 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.5 final. This corresponds to the ZODB that will ship in Zope 3.1. You can download a source tarball or Windows installer from: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.5 Note that there are two Windows installers, for Python 2.3 (2.3.5 is recommended) and Python 2.4 (2.4.1 is recommended). ZODB 3.5 is very close to ZODB 3.4.1 in features. Subtransactions are deprecated in 3.5 (in favor of savepoints), and 3.5 adds a simple multi-database feature (a way to group multiple databases into a collection, such that a connection to any database in the collection can be used to obtain connections to the other databases in the collection). See the NEWS file for details: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.5/NEWS.html It's traditional to give a long list of ZODB releases and their corresponding Zope releases at this point. To save time, henceforth I'm going to point to ZODB's "current status" page instead: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/CurrentStatus
