Zwiki 0.54 has been released. This one comes you from the garden, in
lovely county Wicklow. Thanks for all bug reports and input.
An announcement from Joyful Systems: my current consulting gig is
winding down; it's time for me to do something new, creative,
financially rewarding. This could mean a greater focus on Zwiki. If you
need Zwiki/Zope/Squeak/Unix consulting, or have any other thoughts on
this, let me know!
Best, -Simon

After reviewing the docutils / reStructuredText integration in Zope
2, we have discovered that versions 2.7.0 - 2.7.8 and 2.8.0 - 2.8.8
are vulnerable to a further information disclosure exploit.
Overview
This hotfix removes the exploit by disabling the reStructuredText
feature which exposes the vulnerability. This vulnerability has been
fixed on the 2.8 branch, and will thus not be present in any future
release from that branch (2.8.9 or later).
Zope2 versions from 2.9 and the trunk are not vulnerable to this
exploit.
Note that this hotfix fixes a problem not attressed by the earlier
reStructuredText integration hotfix ; that hotfix needs to remain
installed until after upgrading to a fixed version of Zope.
Hotfix
We have prepared a hot fix for this problem at:
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix-2006-08-21/Hotfix-20060821/.
This hotfix should be installed as soon as possible.
To install, simply extract the archive into your Products directory
in your Zope installation.
See: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix-2006-08-21/
Hotfix-20060821/README.txt,
for installation instructions.
It is important to install this hotfix as soon as possible.
This fix will disable the reStructuredText csv-table directive.

Hi all,
we're having a bugday for the Zope "June" releases this Thursday. Yes,
we know it's August. That's why we need YOUR help to get this release
out quickly.
How can you help? Look at the issue trackers at
http://www.zope.org/Collectors and search for bugs of the 'critical' or
'3.3 release' category. If you want to work on a particular issue,
assign it to yourself and hack away! You won't have to wait till
Thursday for that, of course...
The goal for this bugday is to have release candidates of Zope 3.3 and
2.10 by the end of the day.
See you all on Thursday,
Philipp
The Zope 3 development team is proud to announce Zope 3.3.0 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.
Cleanup of the Zope 3 packages has continued to ensure a flexible and
scalable platform. We continued the work on making the transition from
Zope 2 to Zope 3 by making Zope 2.10 use even more of the Zope 3
packages. But 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 3.3 requires Python 2.4.1 to run. You must also have zlib
installed on your system.
Most Important Changes Since Zope 3.2
-------------------------------------
- Provided a new component registry API that allows multiple
component registries to be combined more flexibly than before.
See 'zope.component.interfaces.IComponentRegistry' for more
information.
- Greatly simplified local-component registration.
See 'zope.component.interfaces.IComponentRegistry' for more
information.
- Moved many packages out of zope.app to make them easier to use
outside of Zope.
- Change the session credentials plugin to make it configurable
in which fields it looks for the credentials.
- Added a new API for collating text. You can now adapt
a locale to 'zope.i18n.interfaces.ILocales.ICollator'. You can
then use that to sort strings, such as menu entries, in a
locale-specific fashion.
- A new 'zope.annotation.factory' helper function that makes
it easier to create annotations. Also added a README in
'zope.annotation' which explains how to use it.
- Added a more complete set of widgets for fields that use
iterable sources. These widgets now mirror the set provided
by vocabulary-based fields.
- Added a cleaner and more robust API to testbrowser for setting
file-upload data.
- Deprecated several ZCML directives:
* factory
* vocabulary
* content (as an alias to the class directive)
* modulealias
* renderer:renderer
- The 'browser:layer' directive and the 'ILayer' interface
has been deprecated. Registering layers has become obsolete,
layers should be created as interfaces extending
'IBrowserRequest'.
- The 'browser:skin' directive has been deprecated. Skins
should be created as interfaces extending 'IBrowserRequest'
and can be registered using a simple 'utility' directive.
- The 'ISkin' interface has been renamed to 'IBrowserSkinType'.
For a complete list of changes see the 'CHANGES.txt' file.
