Grok 0.13 released!
by Jan-Wijbrand Kolman 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hi everybody, The Grok team is happy to announce the release of Grok 0.13! This release is available on PyPI and a new index of specific versions of packages used by this release has been frozen at http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-0.13.cfg. This means that new projects created with grokproject will start using this release right away. New Features ------------ * New ``grok.traversable`` directive to make individual attributes traversable without having to write a ``traverse`` method. Just give it the attribute name and the attribute becomes traversable. * ``grok.require`` now also accepts the permission class directly as an argument, instead of just the permission name. * The view ``url`` method has an optional parameter ``data``, which is a dictionary with URL parameters to generate. * New ``grok.OrderedContainer`` component. * Easier test setup infrastructure in ``z3c.testsetup``, see `tests- with-grok-testing`_ for more details. .. _`tests-with-grok-testing`: http://grok.zope.org/documentation/how-to/tests-with-grok-testing * Improvements to viewlet support. ``Viewlet`` and ViewletManager`` templates now both receives a ``view`` namespace which is the view the viewlet is in. This is a difference from how viewlets worked before. Also added ``viewlet`` and ``viewletmanager`` namespace to the template. Restructuring ------------- * The Grok dependencies now make use of the latest known-good ones from Zope 3 (KGS). * The basic component base classes (``Adapter``, ``MultiAdapter``, ``GlobalUtility``), their grokkers, as well as many of the basic directives have been factored out to a reusable ``grokcore.component`` package. * Ported directives to Martian's new directive implementation. As a result, many helper functions that were available from ``grok.util`` were removed. The functionality is mostly available from the directives themselves now. * Refactored class grokkers to make use of Martian's new declarative way for retrieving directive data from classes, and Martian's new declarative way to write grokkers. See the `upgrade notes`_ (``doc/upgrade.txt``) for more information. .. _`upgrade notes`: http://grok.zope.org/project/upgrade-notes Upgrading --------- To upgrade an existing project from 0.12.x to 0.13 you have to: 1. change the 'extends' directive in your project's buildout.cfg to point to http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-0.13.cfg 2. run bin/buildout in your project, to update the dependencies including the 0.13 egg of Grok itself For the detailed changelog, see Grok's PyPI entry page. For detailed upgrade notes, including how to change your application, see http://grok.zope.org/project/upgrade-notes For installation instructions and much more on how to use Grok, see the Grok tutorial: http://grok.zope.org/documentation/book/ We hope to hear from you! ------------------------- If you enjoy Grok, please subscribe to the `grok-dev mailing list`_ and join us in the #grok channel on irc.freenode.net. .. _`grok-dev mailing list`: http://grok.zope.org/community/grok-dev-mailinglist -- Jan-Wijbrand Kolman

Another option is to mount both ZODB's and then copy the objects. It is necessary to decouple the copy from its source before it can be stored in the target. Apparently, "copy.deepcopy" is able to reliably decouple. -- Dieter

NOTICE: zope.org server move
by Jens Vagelpohl 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

The zope.org-related servers and services maintained by Zope Corporation will be moving to a new home late Thursday night Eastern Standard Time. What services are affected? --------------------------- The most important service addresses include... - www.zope.org - svn.zope.org - cvs.zope.org - mail.zope.org and lists.zope.org How long will the outage last? ---------------------------- The servers will be moved physically to a new hosting provider. There will be an outage of about 2 hours for the physical move, as well as an outage while the new DNS information for these services propagate throughout the internet. Service may be spotty for several hours past the 2 hour physical move window. Work is slated to start at about 11:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (04:00 GMT, 05:00 CEST). How does this affect me? ------------------------ If you are doing development on software stored on svn.zope.org, or if you want to surf www.zope.org or use the egg repository on zope.org you will see an outage lasting at least 2 hours. Please refrain from checking in software changes during this period and wait until the service addresses resolve normally. Mail to or from the Zope mailing lists will be interrupted until the physical move has been completed and the DNS record changes have propagated to your ISP. The Zope Corporation sysadmin team will handle the move, if you have any questions please contact me directly and I will clear up any issues with them. jens

Silva Forum Released, with OpenID Authentication
by Kit BLAKE 30 May '08

30 May '08

Infrae is pleased to announce the first public release of Silva Forum, an extension for Silva 2.x that provides a classic discussion forum environment. It can be integrated with OpenID authentication and a CAPTCHA to prevent ‘spambots’ from attempting to post. Sponsored by the Bijvoet Center for Bioinformatics, Silva Forum was developed as a collaboration tool for scientists working on the EU-funded project GlycoGold (MRTN-CT2005-05645). Silva Forum features Silva Forum allows site visitors to create topics (subjects or questions) and add comments to existing topics. Entries are ordered chronologically and displayed on multiple pages for extended conversations. Users can preview their posting, and a clickable interface for inserting emoticons in messages is provided. In a typical setup the public can see and navigate the forum pages. Or, a forum can be configured to be viewable only by authenticated users with Silva’s Access Restrictions. If the forum should be private, a public role can be set as well, limiting access to a select group. Regardless of whether the forum is open to the public or not, in order to post a visitor must authenticate. Authentication can be with various Zope-based approaches or with OpenID. OpenID-based authentication The OpenID authentication is completely separate from Silva Forum, but was developed for use with it. Offering an OpenID login provides a big advantage: site managers don’t need to assign roles (or be involved in any way) with forum users. Should any script kiddies try to abuse the OpenID registration, a CAPTCHA will prevent scripts from registering. The OpenID-based access is controlled by PAS (Pluggable Authentication Service) and requires installation of PAS itself and Silva integration components. These are available as an ‘egg’: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/silva.pas.openid The OpenID integration with Silva was sponsored by Marc Petitmermet (who’s at the Department of Materials at ETH Zürich, but it was funded from another source). Note that Silva’s OpenID plugin can be used for any Silva authentication requirement, not just Silva Forum. Demo site You can give Silva Forum and the OpenID integration a test drive on a test server: http://test.infrae.com/silva_forum/forum If you’re not familiar with OpenID see: http://openid.net/. If you just want to get an OpenID, go to http://www.myopenid.com/. However, you may already have an OpenID. If you use any of the following services you already have your own OpenID: AOL, Blogger, Flickr, LiveJournal, Technorati, Yahoo, WordPress, and many more. For more information.... If you find a bug or have an idea for a feature, please post it on the Silva bug tracker on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/silva Download Silva Forum can be downloaded from: http://infrae.com/products/silva/extensions/silva_forum. Silva Forum will work fine without PAS and OpenID using standard authentication. Credits Many thanks to the people at the Bijvoet Center for Bioinformatics and Marc Petitmermet at ETH Zürich for making this functionality possible.
