ANNOUNCE: XMLDocument 1.0a1
by Amos Latteier 22 Jul '99

22 Jul '99

I am pleased to announce the first alpha release of XML Document. XML Document allows you to use xml objects in the Zope environment. You can create xml documents in Zope and leverage Zope to format, query, and manipulate xml. http://www.zope.org/Download/XMLDocument This release requires Zope 2.0x and the pyexpat parser which will be distributed with Zope come Zope 2.0b1. Until the Zope beta release you can get pyexpat from the Python xml-sig's xml package. http://www.python.org/sigs/xml-sig I'd love feedback on the functionality and design of this product. I think that it has a lot of potential. Also I encourage contributions on this project since I do not have a lot of time to spend on it myself. Happy xml hacking! -Amos P.S. Install it like a normal Zope product, i.e. ungzip and untar in inside your Zope directory. If you are using the xml-sig pyexpat, Zope will expect to find it in xml.parsers.pyexpat. -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

CVS checkin notifications reinstated
by Ken Manheimer 22 Jul '99

22 Jul '99

[Since the zope-announce list is new and has relatively few subscribers, i'm cc'ing the zope-dev list as well - we won't continue to do this for long. I'm not sure chris was clear about this - if you're subscribing to zope-dev (and/or zope) you probably want to subscribe to zope-announce as well: http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce . Ken.] We've reinstated updates to the public CVS repository (before the Zope2 release - looks like that may be a day or two) - *with an important change*: Ongoing development is being applied to a new directory, Zope2. The old Zope module, on which the prior public checkouts were based, will *not* be revised, so: - If you want to get the new version you'll have to do a new checkout of the Zope2 module. This actually simplifies a bunch of things from our internal perspective, and a few things from the external perspective, and has the benefit of providing a checkpoint of the last Zope1 release. But it is a change, and we want to be sure that you track it. Questions? Comments? Lemme know. Ken Manheimer klm(a)digicool.com

FYI: Zope Weekly News
by Amos Latteier 22 Jul '99

22 Jul '99

Zope 2.0 beta one should be out *very* soon. This week saw a lot of screw tightening in preparation for the beta release. The public CVS archive is temporarily frozen due to some re-organization but will open up again when the beta release comes out. Most of the traffic on the Zope lists was devoted to Zope community members helping each other solve their various real world problems. One of the most notable discussions this week started with a comparison between Zope and other web development platforms with respect to xml facilities. Folks at DC weighed in with their 2 cents on the subject which includes the imminent release of a Zope product which will allow access to xml objects in Zopish ways. Interestingly many community members have similar ideas of what Zope needs in terms of xml support. It will be exciting to see how Digital Creations and community members collaborate on XML development efforts. * Chris Petrilli announced an new Zope mailing list, zope-announce. If you're overwhelmed with the volume of the currently Zope lists, this one could be for you. http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce/ http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-July/006993.html * Amos Latteier posted a roadmap details some plans for XML development in Zope. Digital Creations will release an alpha XML Zope product in the next couple days. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-July/007010.html * One of the best IT magazines on the German market, iX Magazine, has a Zope article available in the August 1999 issue by Frank Tegtmeyer. http://www.heise.de/ix/ http://www.heise.de/ix/artikel/1999/08/064/ * Andreas Kostyrka announced Navigate 0-0-4. This product allows you to control which objects are displayed. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-July/006969.html http://www.zope.org/Download/Contrib/ * Arpad Kiss announced a simple Zope chart drawing tool. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-July/006964.html http://starship.python.net/crew/arpadk/downloads/Chart0.3.0.tar.gz * Andy Dustman announced a new Python interface for MySQL, MySQLdb-0.0.3. This package includes a patch to use it with Zope's MySQL database adapter. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-July/006946.html http://starship.python.net/crew/adustman * Hurrah Internet now offers Zope hosting. http://www.hurrah.com/ http://www.zope.org/Community/ZHP * Chris Petrilli posted a note about BLOBs and Zope database adapters on the zope-dev list. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/1999-July/000863.html See you next week. -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
