Grok 0.10.1 released!
by Martijn Faassen 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hi there, 2007-10-10 - The Grok project is happy to release Grok 0.10.1! Grok 0.10.1 is a bugfix release of Grok, and the first outcome of the Neanderthal Grok sprint that was hosted by GfU Cyrus in Cologne, Germany, last week. The sole aim of this release is to fix Grok's installation story. Releases of Zope 3 components that Grok relied on had the tendency to break Grok. Since Grok now uses a fixed list of versions it relies on, this problem should now be solved. The grokproject tool has also been updated to 0.6, and now automatically uses the version list feature. To update grokproject to 0.6, please type the following: $ easy_install -U grokproject For more information about this release, including instructions on how to update existing buildouts to use the version list feature, see here: http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/readme.html What is Grok? --------------------- Grok: now even cavemen can use Zope 3 Grok is a web application framework based on Zope 3 technology. Grok aims to make Zope 3 technology more easy to use for beginners and experienced developers alike. More about Grok: http://grok.zope.org
