ZODB Storages feature comparison matrix
by Toby Dickenson 25 Jun '03

25 Jun '03

We have quite a few different ZODB storage implementations now, so I thought it would be useful to have a feature comparison matrix. A table covering FileStorage, DirectoryStorage, and BDBStorage is now in ZODB CVS. http://cvs.zope.org/ZODB3/Doc/storages.html?rev=1. -- Toby Dickenson http://www.geminidataloggers.com/people/tdickenson

Silva 0.9.2 released
by Jan-Wijbrand Kolman 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

Hello, Infrae is happy to release Silva 0.9.2! Silva is a (Zope based) web application for content authoring, management and publication - for web, paper, and other media. Content is stored in clean and future-proof formats, independent of layout and presentation, suitable for use in multiple contexts. For more information on Silva see: http://www.infrae.com/products/silva http://www.zope.org/Members/infrae/Silva Silva 0.9.2 provides extensive new functionality (see also the HISTORY.txt file included in the Silva Product) such as: * Thoroughly revised user interface. * Completely new, flexible metadata architecture. * All text - including metadata - is stored as unicode. * Everything is now indexed using the Zope catalog. * Increased performance, both for public views and for the Silva edit screens. Due to changes in the content structure this version will not work with existing Silva content. This version includes a content upgrade script (see INSTALL.tx and UPGRADE.txt for detailed instructions). Although this content upgrade script has been tested succesfully on fairly large amounts of Silva content, it is always a good idea to backup your content before installing and using this new Silva version (e.g. by making a backup copy of Zope's Data.fs file). Please report any bugs and other issues to Infrae and discuss this version on the Silva mailinglists: silva-general(a)lists.sourceforge.net silva-dev(a)lists.infrae.com This version of the Silva Product can be downloaded at: http://www.zope.org/Members/infrae/Silva/Silva-0.9.2.tgz A tarball including Silva 0.9.2 and all its dependencies can be downloaded here: http://www.zope.org/Members/infrae/Silva/Silva-0.9.2-all-products.tgz regards, jw -- Jan-Wijbrand Kolman jw(a)infrae.com

ZODB4 alpha 2 release
by Jeremy Hylton 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

We've released ZODB4 alpha 2, a snapshot of current progress on ZODB4. You can get it at http://www.zope.org/Products/ZODB4. This release of ZODB4 contains all (or most) of the new features that have been added to ZODB3 since the last ZODB4 alpha release. This release contains the top-level persistence, transaction, zdaemon, and zodb packages, as well as zope.interface and zope.testing. The implementation depends on zope.interface, but only in fairly limited way. The zope.testing package is only used by a few unit tests. The zodb package includes FileStorage, two memory storages, two storages based on BerkeleyDB, and ZEO, a client-server protocol for ZODB. This will probably be the last ZODB4 release for a while, as we focus on getting Zope3 into shape. Jeremy

Hi all, Interested in what _Tim Couper_ has to say? Have a look at the fifth EuroPython2003 interview: http://www.europython.org/other/interviews/entries/tim_couper In previous note, we made the mistake by adding unintentionally a dot to the end of the url. Thanks to the several people who reported this. For those who didn't managed to read the interview because of this, here is the link without a dot: http://www.europython.org/other/interviews/entries/martijn_faassen For the EuroPython visitors: Since the first talks start at 9:00h and everybody has to pass the registration desk to pick up their badge, the doors will be open from 7.30h am, on the first day of the conference, ie 25 june 2003. Yes this early, so for the people who start the day very early, you know what you can do :-) See you within 6 days! Regards, EuroPython

EuroPython's 4th Interview
by Tom Deprez 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

EuroPython's fourth interview! Ever heard about the Python Secret Underground movement? No? Well, _Martijn Faassen_ neither... But, he heard about some rumours and shared them with us. Confused concerning PSU? Who would not? But, perhaps Forest (an XML Database on the workbench) might help you to see the forest through the trees. Enjoy the interview at http://www.europython.org/other/interviews/entries/martijn_faassen. Regards, www.europython.org
