Archetypes 1.2 beta2 Released
by Sidnei da Silva 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

We've been fixing a couple bugs that came out in the beta1, thanks to the people that tested and reported, so I just made a beta2 with the fixes (release early, release often, and even more often when the last release has bugs ;). The hilights on this release are: License Change: Archetypes is not licensed under the GPL anymore, but under a BSD-like license. More details on Archetypes/LICENSE.txt. This change has been postponed for a while and was a big blocker for some people. I expect that it comes only to make life easier to the ones deploying Archetypes on commercial applications. Bugs fixed: - KeywordWidget was not behaving accordingly - BaseObject.get_size() was completely broken, because of a undefined variable - Some templates were missing a closing '"', which got lost during the conversion to the Plone 2.0 style. - Added tests for KeywordWidget and RichWidget. More widget tests to come. - Fixed default view on Article of ArchExample (was pointing to the wrong URL.) - Archetypes *should* be usable with plain CMF, though it may be some CSS wizardry to align the fields (thanks to Sylvain Thenault) Tarball: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/archetypes/archetypes-1.2.0_beta2.tgz?do… -- Sidnei da Silva <sidnei(a)awkly.org> dreamcatching :: making your dreams come true http://awkly.org Besides, I think Slackware sounds better than 'Microsoft,' don't you? -- Patrick Volkerding

[Ann] ManagableIndex 0.2
by Dieter Maurer 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

"ManagableIndex" is a framework to develop managable indexes: you define via the Zope Management Interface, * how values are determined; especially whether or not acquisition should be used. * which values should be ignored * what standardization should be applied (if any) It comes with managable "Field-" and "KeywordIndex". This is a bugfix release. * I had forgotten an essential optimization (in "index_object"): an object was reindexed even if its value had not changed * Work around silly "OOSet" equality check ("OOSet" uses (Python object) identity rather than standard set equality) -- Dieter

PloneCollectorNG 1.0 beta 1 released
by Andreas Jung 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

I am pleased to announce the release of PloneCollectorNG 1.0 alpha 2 (PCNG) PCNG is a bugtracking system for Plone. It is based on the concepts and ideas of CMFCollector and CMFCollectorNG but it is a complete re-write. One major highlight of this new version is the built-in TTW editor for Archetypes schemas. This means you can edit the complete fields for your issue (field types and widgets) through-the-web including the use of schemats etc. Another goal of the new implementation was to focus on security. So I dropped the old workflow and created a new one (which is much simpler). The codebase is very small and generic and therefore very much extensible for the future. Changes since V 1.0 alpha 2: - misc usability improvements: - simple/full view for issues - extended search mask hidden by default - staff template improved - more compact issue view - overview page for all collector instances of a Plone site - misc UI/CSS improvements ("it looks nicer") - fixed several workflow related permission problems - migration script for CMFCollectorNG -> PloneCollectorNG added (not completed yet) - simplified creation of issues through script s(see pcng_add_issue.py) - improved i18n support ATTENTION TO USERS of Plone 2.0 beta 3: portal_workflow has been removed in Plone 2b3 from the action provider list. This is a *big problem* and will be fixed in the next Plone release. To fix this: - remove the "deleteActionProvider()" call in CMFPlone/setup/ConfigurationMethods.py line 175 - *recreate* your Plone 2.0 site (if created *with* Plone 2.0 beta 3) - there is currently no support from my side to re-enable the portal_workflow as action provider for Plone sites created under Plone 2.0 beta 3 Wiki and Download: http://www.zope.org/Members/ajung/PloneCollectorNG Cheers, -aj

[ANN] ZShell v1.60 is out
by Jerome Alet 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hi there, I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of ZShell v1.60. ZShell is a Zope External Method which allows Zope admins to manage the Zope Objects DataBase with commands similar to *nix shell ones, directly from within your web browser. With more than 60 commands, ZShell is the Swiss Army's Knife of the Zope administrator, and makes easy things which are impossible to do with the native Zope Management Interface. ZShell is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License from : http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/ You can even try it online (old version though, and in readonly mode) from the above website. This bug fix release is now compatible with Python v2.2 and above. The use of the insecure rexec module was completely removed and replaced with new code. Thanks to Lucas De Vitis and Jim Penny for the bug report. Feel free to send comments or flames to : Jerome Alet -- "A non-free program is a predatory social system that keeps people in a state of domination and division, and uses the spoils to dominate more." - RMS

[Zope-Annce] Zwiki 0.24 released, zope.org release scripts available
by Simon Michael 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Zwiki 0.24 has been released. Release notes copied below, more information at http://zwiki.org . Also, those of you doing product releases on zope.org may find the release automation rules in http://zwiki.org/zwikidir/Makefile useful. Best wishes -Simon Summary Bugfixes. Upgrade notes Reminder: the plone skin disables DTML-based pages (like RecentChanges) by default now. If you wish to enable those you'll need to remove the ZWiki/skins/zwiki_plone/no_dtml.dtml file after an upgrade. In the ZMI add menu, "ZWiki Web" is now just "ZWiki". Changes General * change ZMI add menu's 'Wiki' to 'ZWiki', to locate it back beside 'ZWiki Page' * hide the WWML page type option by default in cmf/plone, by installing an allowed_page_types property on the portal folder during install (for limi) * make new hierarchy methods more robust when a page has bogus parents; also, check new parents more carefully. reparent() now also accepts fuzzy page names & ids, removes duplicates, and leaves parents sorted. The backlinks form's parent text field now interprets the string as a single page name, like the page management form. (IssueNo0633, IssueNo0634) * context(with_siblings=1) no longer includes the current page's children, which I think was a regression. (IssueNo0629) * fix missing import that confused error messages during upgrades * log individual page upgrade errors in upgradeAll rather than aborting the whole process * log STX rendering errors (eg from tables) rather than breaking the page * added/cleaned up tests, all tests pass again, the CMF/Plone-specific tests now work with (and require) plone 2 and all it's dependencies. * dublin core fixes, so wiki pages should show correct modification time, ownership etc. in CMF/Plone Skins and content * allow access to diff screens (but not full history button) without 'View history' permission * the access key for backlinks is now L everywhere * zwiki_plone: tidy up wikinav_portlet a little Mail and messages * fixed never-encountered bug in subscriber list upgrading (IssueNo0540)
