Zope 2 Instance 1.0 Released!
by Chris Withers 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi All, I'm proud to announce the first release of Zope 2 Instance. This package provides a buildout recipe for creating a Zope 2 instance based around a deployment. The deployment concept originates from zc.recipe.deployment and allows the deployment to control where resources of a particular type are created. While zc.recipe.deployment is suited to production use, you will likely find that gocept.recipe.deploymentsandbox is more useful for development. This recipe is only compatible with Zope 2.12+. Full information can be found here: http://www.simplistix.co.uk/software/zope/zope2instance Lemme know if you have any problems, comments or suggestions... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

MailingLogger 3.3.3 Released!
by Chris Withers 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

I'm pleased to announce a new release of Mailinglogger. Mailinglogger provides two handlers for the standard python logging framework that enable log entries to be emailed either as the entries are logged or as a summary at the end of the running process. The handlers have the following features: - customisable and dynamic subject lines for emails sent - emails sent with an X-Mailer header for easy filtering - flood protection to ensure the number of emails sent is not excessive - support for SMTP servers that require authentication - fully documented and tested The latest releases of ZConfig provides a great way to configure the python logging framework without having to resort to the appalling .ini-based configuration stuff: >>> from ZConfig import configureLoggers >>> configureLoggers(''' ... <logger> ... level INFO ... <logfile> ... PATH STDOUT ... format %(levelname)s %(name)s %(message)s ... </logfile> ... </logger> ... ''') This release and the previous release fix some problems with interpolating non-text objects into log messages and running the tests in non-GMT timezones. For more information, please see: http://www.simplistix.co.uk/software/python/mailinglogger or http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mailinglogger cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Silva 2.3b1 Released
by Wim Boucquaert 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

5 august 2010 – After a sneak preview at Europython, Infrae is pleased to announce the beta1 release of Silva 2.3. This release adds a slew of new features for users, developers, and system administrators. The most important point is that it uses Python 2.6 and Zope 2.12 (it won’t work with Python 2.4 or any previous version of Zope). User features: * In Kupu images and linked objects use references so the content objects can be moved across the site without breaking links. * The form editor is gone, Documents (and News items in Silva News) are now rendered by default with XSLT. * Silva Links, Silva Ghost Folders, Silva Ghosts, Silva Indexers and Silva Find also use the same reference mechanism. * A content object cannot be deleted if it is the target of a reference. This prevents having broken links. * The XML import/export has been improved to preserve proper references on import independent of the export location. You cannot export content object that have a reference target outside of the export tree. * A javascript pop up has been added to select references. The pop up uses a REST API to query the site. * Silva supports WSGI servers. It is now the recommended way to run Silva. You can use Paste or Apache’s mod_wsgi. Developer features: * z3c form has been replaced in favor of zeam.form. * The SMI partially uses silva.core.layout. * Management of HTTP response headers has been improved. * Various code optimizations have been performed. * Many tests have been added, cleaned, refactored, and improved. * A new test setup system makes testing easier. Removed products: * The Old SilvaLayout products is no longer distributed by default. * XMLWidgets are gone. Silva for mobile devices: Silva integrates with Mobi, a middleware suite for detecting mobile devices. Silva provides a layout system that is able to choose the best presentation for a mobile device or computer. For more technical information on Mobi have a look at the product page http://infrae.com/download/mobi. Silva News Network: * Silva News Network 2.9 has been refactored with improved calendaring functionality. Check out docs.infrae.com See http://docs.infrae.com/ for extensive installation documentation. What is Silva? Silva is a powerful CMS for organizations that manage multiple or complex websites. Content is stored in clean and futureproof XML, independent of layout and presentation. Features include versioning, workflow system, integral visual editor (Kupu), content reuse, sophisticated access control, multi–site management, extensive import/export facilities, fine–grained templating, and hi–res image storage and manipulation. For more complete information, see the Silva Product Pages at http://infrae.com/products/silva. Install Silva 2.3 should be installed using buildout: https://svn.infrae.com/buildout/silva/branch/Silva–2.3/ or using Paster by selecting the development distribution.
