RevisionManager 1.0.1 released
by Philipp von Weitershausen 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

Hello everbody, I have released a bugfix release of RevisionManager. RevisionManager is a CVS frontend product for Zope. It brings the power of a great revision control tool to the ZODB. Two bugs were fixed: * Adding adding only binary files raised an exception. * The rather important buttons 'Commit', 'Update' etc. on 'Status' tab were broken. See CHANGES.txt for further information. You may download it at: http://www.zope.org/Members/philikon/RevisionManager RevisionManager is a work in progress and development has not ended with this bugfix release. Help, suggestions and, of course, bugfixes are greatly appreciated! Cheers, Phil

CMF 1.3.1 beta 1 released
by Tres Seaver 26 Feb '03

26 Feb '03

Zope Corporation is pleased to announce the first beta release of version 1.3.1 of the Zope Content Management Framework. This release consists primarily of bug fixes for version 1.3, released in August, 2002. It is a "release candidate"; the final release will follow in a week, presuming no "showstopper" bugs are found. What is the CMF? The Zope Content Management Framework provides a set of services and content objects useful for building highly dynamic, content-oriented portal sites. As packaged, the CMF generates a site much like the Zope.org site. The CMF is intended to be easily customizable, in terms of both the types of content used and the policies and services it provides. Where do I get it? Download it from "cmf.zope.org":/download/CMF-1.3.1beta1 . It is available both as a "Windows ZIP file":CMF-1.3.1beta1.zip and as a "Unix tar/gzip archive":CMF-1.3.1beta1.tar.gz . Please read the "release notes":README.txt , the "change history":CHANGES.txt , and the "installation instructions":INSTALL.txt. Where do I go to learn more? The "CMF mailing list":mailto:zope-cmf@zope.org has many participants who are active in supporting the CMF. ...to report bugs? The "CMF Collector":http://collector.zope.org/CMF is ths place to report bugs (please search for existing reports of your issue first!) New Features in 1.3.1beta1 - Implemented PUT and GET support to CMFCalendar.Event for editing via FTP/WebDAV (thanks to Sidnei da Silva). Bug Fixes in 1.3.1beta1 - Fixed incorrect security declaration in File.py (Collector #91). - Remove over-helpful default argument values in 'CMFDefault.DefaultDublinCoreImpl._editMetadata'. Now, if called without a value for an argument, the method will not change that value. Collector #10. - Remove workaround in CMFCore.utils for recognizing links in StructuredText: STX in CMF content should now recognize exactly the same links as the underlying Zope. Note that we *do* still provide a customized HTML class, to permit embedding images without generating the "whole" page. Collector #6. - Remove bizarre, shadowing import of CMFCore.utils as 'utils' into package namespace of CMFDefault; instead, import specific names from that package directly (thanks to Paul Winkler for pointing out the incongruity). - Fix (theoretical) bug in CMFCore.DirectoryView which allowed non-registered directories to slip through (UI didn't exercise it). - Merge Christian Theune's fix for funky default argument values on CMFCalendar.Event's constructor and edit methods (collector #76). - FSPageTemplates overwrote a user-generated 'Content-Type' header. We now check to make sure a Content-Type header is not already set before allowing a page template to set its own. - Fixed bugs around 'addActionProvider' in ActionsTool (Collector #42). - Fixed race condition in lazy initialization of filesystem-based skin methods; the bug led to odd name errors on 'context' for FSPythonScripts (Collector #37). - Removed crufty 'isDesktop' stuff from 'folder_factories' and 'folder_contents' methods. - Fixed HTML-invalidating call to 'filterCookie' in 'folder_contents'. - Fixed unclosed 'tr' element in ZPT version of 'folder_edit_form' (Collector #57). - Fixed CalendarTool to use portal_type and not Type to search for events in the catalog (Collector #28, thanks to Heimo Laukkanen for the report). - Fixed a bug in CalendarTool where events were not showing on the last day of the month.

21 Feb '03

---<BEGIN FORWARDED MSG>--- Pan European Portal Conference 2003 Geneva, April 24-25, 2003 Welcome to beautiful Geneva and a two-day conference on Portals. The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for IT-professionals in the Higher Education community to meet, discuss and share ideas of current information infrastructure. It is meant to be slightly more a technical conference than an IT-manager conference. This also means that the conference is more aimed to toward the actual meeting of people and the hope of vivid discussions. You as a participant will have a large impact on the result and experience of the conference. The conference webpage at http://www.codex-se.org/pepc2003/ contain all the latest information, registration, recommendations for hotels, directions and more. The conference is sponsored by SUN thus reducing the cost for the conference to 50 euro per person. The last day to register to the conference is the 15:th of April. Speakers attend the conference for free. The agenda is still under construction, and potential speakers are very welcome to contact Joakim Björklund joakim(a)unit.liu.se and/or David Billard David.Billard(a)adm.unige.ch. The conference is hosted by University of Geneva. ---<END FORWARDED MSG>--- /dario - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Lopez-Kästen, IT Systems & Services Chalmers University of Tech.

by Tom Bryan 21 Feb '03

21 Feb '03

The Triangle Zope/Python User Group (TriZPUG) will hold its fourth meeting this Wednesday, February 26, at 6:30 p.m. in Raleigh, NC. We will be meeting in the DELTA conference room(s) at Venture III, who has kindly permitted us to use their meeting room, on NCSU's Centennial Campus. Directions to Venture III are below. This month, we have two very special speakers. Rob Page and Jim Fulton from Zope Corporation will be in town and have agreed to give two talks. The first part of the presentation will help describe the "open source machine" -- at least as it operates at Zope Corporation. The second half will be more technical and should give you a better understanding of Zope 3. For those of you who plan to attend but are not TriZPUG members (listed on the TriZPUG wiki), please add your name to the following page. It will help us ensure that we have sufficient room for the audience http://dev.zope.org/Members/tbryan/TriZPUG/NonMemberAttendee We hope to see you there! Title: Zope - Two talks from the source ======================================= Zope Corporation is busy on many fronts including custom application development, the ongoing development of Zope 2.x, the development of Zope 3.x, and the development of a series of "visible source" products. Zope Corp Update and Intro to Turbo Intranet (Rob Page) ------------------------------------------------------- The first part of this presentation will be an introduction to one such Visible Souce Product (Turbo Intranet) -- details available at: http://www.zope.com/Products/ZopeProducts/TurboTraining If you'd like to hear about an economical way to get an intranet up and running quickly AND get the source code, this presentation is for you. Title: Zope 3 Update (Jim Fulton) --------------------------------- The second part of this presentation will cover Zope 3.x from a technical perspective. If you haven't had the time or energy to stay in tune with Zope 3 -- here's your chance to get up to speed quickly. Directions to the TriZPUG Meeting: ================================== Note that we will be meeting in our new location at NCSU's Centennial Campus. If you need directions to NCSU's Centennial Campus, try the following link http://centennial.ncsu.edu/howtogethere/htgh.htm If you need directions to the Venture III building, follow this link http://lts.ncsu.edu/about/venture3.html, but skip step #3 since the meeting is after hours.
