Five 1.2.1 and 1.3.2 released!
by Philipp von Weitershausen 26 Feb '06

26 Feb '06

The Five team is happy to announce two bugfixes releases of Five today, Five 1.2.1 and 1.3.2! What is Five ------------ Five is a Zope 2 product that allows you to integrate Zope 3 technologies into Zope 2, today. Among others, it allows you to use Zope 3 interfaces, ZCML-based configuration, adapters, browser pages (including skins, layers, and resources), automated add and edit forms based on schemas, object events, as well as Zope 3-style i18n message catalogs. We've tried to keep the Five experience as close to Zope 3 as possible, so this means that what you learn while using Five should also be applicable to Zope 3, and viceversa. More information about Five can be found on our website, http://codespeak.net/z3/five/. Changes in Five 1.2.1/1.3.2 --------------------------- * Five's traversing machinery now mimicks the ZPublisher correctly: When no Zope 3-style view is found, first the object's original ``__bobo_traverse__`` is tried. If that does not exist, Traversable resorts to attribute look-up. * Unit tests that did i18n via Localizer would fail because the request attribute that keeps Localizers list of preferred languages did not exist. For more information please consult the changes document, http://codespeak.net/z3/five/CHANGES.html Download -------- Five 1.2.1 requires Zope 2.8 and can be downloaded at http://codespeak.net/z3/five/release/Five-1.2.1.tgz. Five 1.3.2 requires Zope 2.9 and can be downloaded at http://codespeak.net/z3/five/release/Five-1.3.2.tgz. Note that Five 1.3.2 will be included in Zope 2.9.2. About the Zope 3 Base --------------------- Five is part of the *Zope 3 Base* project, which aims to offer an approachable area for developers of Zope 3 related software. More about the Zope 3 base and its projects can be found on the project website, http://codespeak.net/z3/.

by Andreas Jung 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

Hi all, on behalf of Zope Corporation and the Zope community I am pleased to announce the release of Zope 2.8.6. You can download Zope 2.8.6 from http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.6/ 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/2.8.6/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 2.8.6 requires Python 2.3.5. Zope 2.8.6 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. -- Andreas Jung (andreas at zopyx dot com)

Announcing the Apogee project: rich client for ECM applications
by Stefane Fermigier 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

I'm pleased to announce the Apogee project. Apogee aims at building an content management and collaboration rich client on top of the Eclipse RCP, by providing all the services needed: - content creation, management and consumption, including search, classification, workflow, etc. - synchronisation for off-line work - groupware, including e-mail, instant messaging and calendaring It is based on open standard, including W3C XML Schemas, XForms, XMPP, RDF... Obviously this will be a Java application. How is it related to Zope then? 1. We will implement it first on projects based on CPS (but we also aim at making it independent of the ECM platform used on the server). 2. It is a byproduct of two projects we started last year for providing rich client applications on top of CPS (for AFP - Agence France-Presse, and for the French institute of statutory auditors). You will find more information on the Eclipse technical proposal: http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/apogee/ or on the dedicated web site for the project: http://apogee.nuxeo.org/ The source code for the project, is available in our Subversion repository: http://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/pub/browser/Apogee/src/trunk/ as well as the initial technical documentation: http://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/pub/browser/Apogee/doc/ If you are interested in this project, you may contact me directly (sf(a)nuxeo.com) or join the mailing list (http://lists.nuxeo.com/mailman/listinfo/apogee). -- Stéfane Fermigier, Tel: +33 (0)6 63 04 12 77 (mobile).

About CPS: Nuxeo CPS (version 3) is an open source, GPL-licensed framework designed for building content management, collaboration and business processing applications. It addresses the needs of web applications developers to easily create rich document types, with workflow-based access control, portal-like interfaces for accessing documents and information, and rich services that match the features of best of breed non-free (proprietary) offering in the domain, including: single-sourcing, versioning, indexing, metadata management, localization and translation, notifications, commenting, theming (user interface customization), users and groups directories, content scheduling and staging, syndication... Higher level components, including mail, calendaring and discussion applications, have been developed on top of the base framework, as well as custom business applications featuring complex document types and workflows.

The Zope Software Certification Program and Common Repository Proposal
by Stephan Richter 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hello everyone, With the development of Zope 3, the Zope developers committed to a new development process and higher software quality guidelines. With the adoption of Zope 3 technologies in the wider Zope community, we should also start using the process for third party package development. I have spent the last two weeks working on a proposal that defines a Zope Software Certification Program (ZSCP) and a Common Repository that implements this process. The proposal is attached to this mail. I welcome any comments about it! In the pre-publication phase of the proposal, I have worked with a small committee to receive initial feedback. For the purpose of this proposal, I will not be representing a particular Zope sub-community, but instead act as a mediator among the parties of interest. I will try my best to answer all concerns and comments in a neutral manner. I would like to thank all pre-proposal committee members for their time and valuable input. Thanks for your time! Regards, Stephan P.S.: Sorry for the cross post! -- Stephan Richter CBU Physics & Chemistry (B.S.) / Tufts Physics (Ph.D. student) Web2k - Web Software Design, Development and Training
