Hi Wichert, No, confirmations are not sent.

[action required] Zope Contributor Agreement change
by Jens Vagelpohl 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, This is a last reminder for those current contributors to the Zope software repositories on svn.zope.org who have not sent in the new contributor agreement as outlined below. Please do so before June 26, otherwise your write access will be removed. Thanks! jens ----------------------------------------------- You may be aware that the copyright for software stored in the software repositories on svn.zope.org has recently been assigned to the Zope Foundation, from the earlier copyright holder Zope Corporation. The old contributor agreements expressly assigned a joint copyright to Zope Corporation for any software checked into svn.zope.org repositories. With the Zope Foundation taking over these copyrights, the agreement with the contributors needs to change so that the Zope Foundation is the joint copyright holder for all new code coming into the repositories. For you as a contributor this means you need to submit a new contributor agreement[1] if you want to stay on as an active contributor to Zope and/or the other software hosted in the repositories on svn.zope.org. Here's how: - download the new agreement[1] - fill in the new agreement, and since you are a current contributor it is OK to enter Jim Fulton (jim(a)zope.com) as the required reference committer - sign and date the agreement - either scan the agreement and email it to foundation-info(a)zope.org, or fax it to the Zope Foundation fax number +1 (703) 842-8076 To ensure a timely copyright transition we ask you to submit the new contributor agreement no later than June 17, 2009. The Zope Foundation board will try to contact any contributor who has not replied at that point between June 18 and June 26, and on June 26 checkin access will be removed for those who have not sent in the new agreement.

sx.translations 1.2 released!
by Chris Withers 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

I'm pleased to announce a new release of sx.translations. This release records the dates untranslated msgids were first seen. sx.translations provides components for use with Zope 3 and Zope 2 + Five that implement both ITranslationDomain and ILanguageAvailability as well as supporting the recording of untranslated msgids. This means that, not only do the components support the interface require to provide messages to Zope 3's i18n framework, they can also be used to generate a list of available languages using code similar to the following: from zope.component import getUtility from zope.i18n.interfaces import ILanguageAvailability from zope.i18n.locales import locales, LoadLocaleError domain = 'myproject' def getLanguages(self): options = getUtility(ILanguageAvailability, domain).getAvailableLanguages() options.sort() result = [] for option in options: lang = option[0] try: locale = locales.getLocale(lang) except LoadLocaleError: # probably not a real locale continue result.append( {'code':lang, 'name':locale.displayNames.languages[lang], ) return result Sample ZCML for configuration could be: <configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"; xmlns:i18n="http://namespaces.simplistix.co.uk/translations";>  <include package="sx.translations" file="meta.zcml" />  <i18n:registerTranslations locales="../locales" missing="../locales/myproj.pot" encoding="utf-8"/> </configure> For more information, please see: http://www.simplistix.co.uk/software/zope/sx.translations cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

MailingLogger 3.3.0 Released!
by Chris Withers 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

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 In addition, extra support is provided for configuring the handlers when using ZConfig, Zope 2 or Zope 3. The latest releases of ZConfig, in particular, provide 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 of MailingLogger adds the ability to use %(levelname)s in subject-line formatting for SummarisingLoggers to include the highest level logged. 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

z3c.form 2.0.0 released!
by Stephan Richter 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Hello everyone, on behalf of the `z3c.form` developers, I am proud to announce the next major release of `z3c.form` 2.0.0. `z3c.form` is a flexible, rapid-development form framework for Zope 3. Thanks goes to everyone who helped out with the release! For the curious and impatient ... --------------------------------- While we have not yet updated the demos to the latest features, the demo still works and provides a quick introduction. To run the demos do the following:: $ svn co svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/z3c.formdemo/tags/2.0.0 formdemo $ cd formdemo $ python bootstrap.py $ ./bin/buildout $ ./bin/demo fg Now you can access the demo under: http://localhost:8080/ What's new ---------- `z3c.form` 2.0.0 provides many new features that were needed for our projects. Here are the highlights. - Several new, non-trivial widgets. * There is now a widget for sequence fields (`IList` and `ITuple` field) whose value types are simple fields (like `TextLine`, `Int`, ...). It uses simple sub-forms. * There is a text lines widget that provides a text area to enter one value per line. Again sequence fieds with simple value types are supported. * An initial implementation of an object widget was created. This makes developing forms much faster. - Groups can now be nested. - Besides vocabularies, sources are now supported. - There is optional support for z3c.pt, a very fast implementation of TAL, TALES and METAL. - Full backward-compatibility to Zope KGS 3.4.0 was kept to support a stable Zope 3 code base and the surrent Plone released. Fore a complete list of changes, see: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/z3c.form As always, the code is 100% test covered to ensure the highest quality possible. Enjoy!

(REMINDER) Updated e-mail addresses due this week
by Tres Seaver 20 May '09

20 May '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 (Please forgive the crosspost, and follow up to me directly with questions, rather than CC'ing the lists). In order to complete the transition of copyrights from Zope Corporation to the Zope Foundation, we need to refresh all committer agreements, and therefore need to be able to reach all committers via a valid e-mail address. If you have ever made a checkin to the the Zope CVS or subversion repositories, please verify that your profile information on www.zope.org is up to date (the e-mail address, in particular). The Zope Foundation board will be sending out a request for the new forms within the next week: committers who do not make a timely reply to that request will have their checkin access suspended until they complete the form. If you know a committer who is unlikely to receive this e-mail via one of the cross-posted lists, please forward this e-mail to them Thank you for your cooperation, and for your continued support of Zope!
