02 Dec '06

I'm proud to announce that -- as the first Zope book ever -- my book titled "Web Component Development with Zope 3" has been released as a second edition and is now available from online and local bookstores. Like the first edition, the new book is targeted at all web developers who want to get into Zope 3 or learn more about Zope 3 and Zope 3 technology than they already know. It's accompanied by an extensive example application that's extended throughout the book. *Unlike* the first edition, the second edition is... - up-to-date. The book covers the latest Zope 3 release, Zope 3.3, which has only been released recently. All chapters, all examples, and the appendices have been revised to match the most current Zope 3 codebase. - bigger. Five (!) new chapters, all describing new features in Zope, have been added, many others were extended notably. In total, the book is more than 80 pages thicker than the old one -- at the same price as the old one. - better. With the second edition, the book has been completely revamped. My excellent reviewers from the Zope and Plone community have done a tremendous good job at improving the book's language and technical details. I also improved the didactics in various places. - for you! No matter if you're a Zope 3 developer or just starting to get into Zope 3, I suggest you keep the book under your pillow. Even as a Zope 2 or Plone developer, you'd be surprised how much Zope 3 technology you can now use in Zope 2 -- and this book tells you how! This makes it a must-buy especially for Plone developers as Plone 3.0 is using Zope 3 components for all new development. Find out more at http://worldcookery.com.

Zwiki release process
by Simon Michael 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Dear Zopistas and Zwiki fans, There will be no Zwiki release today; I haven't had time to work on the project. I apologise for being less active lately. I expect to put some more energy into it soon, but in the meantime if anyone wants to step up and take on some project/release management responsibility, to get things moving faster, that could be very useful. Please contact me if you're interested! Otherwise I will probably change the release schedule and process a bit to suit my current work/personal situation. Best wishes to all -Simon

SilvaStatic Released
by eric casteleijn 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

28 november 2006 – Infrae has just released SilvaStatic, a Silva extension that allows users to export a static copy of content maintained in Silva to an external website. This allows an organization to run Silva internally to manage content, but export the content to a simple external web server, for instance at an internet provider. The only things the web server needs to support are the serving of static files and FTP access so content can be uploaded. In order to install SilvaStatic, you also need to have either wget or httrack installed, and the ftputil python package (download it from http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac) Download The Silva extension can be downloaded from: http://infrae.com/download/SilvaStatic. -- - eric casteleijn http://infrae.com

CMF-2.1.0-alpha2 released
by Jens Vagelpohl 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

The CMF developer community is hereby announcing the release of CMF version 2.1.0-alpha2. This second alpha release was cut to help release Plone 3.0-alpha. A lot of bug fixes and features have made it into the CMF since release 2.1.0-alpha, which has become somewhat obsolete as the basis for Plone 3.0-alpha. 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. The CMF provides the foundation for popular software packages such as Plone. It 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? For release files, change logs, installation instructions and more please visit http://www.zope.org/Products/CMF/CMF-2.1.0-alpha2. Roadmap and release information can be found at http://www.zope.org/Products/CMF/docs/roadmap. The CMF mailing list can be reached at the zope-cmf(a)zope.org address, to sign up please visit http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope- cmf. Please file bug reports, feature requests or suggestions in the CMF bug collector at http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF . What has changed since the last release? New Features - WorkflowTool: Added the IConfigurableWorkflowTool interface. This change includes the new 'getDefaultChain' and 'listChainOverrides' methods and an improved 'setChainForPortalTypes' method. The import handler now supports the 'remove' attribute for removing overrides. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/457) - CMFCore.CachingPolicyManager: Implemented the old OFS.Cache.CacheManager API. Now objects other than CMF content or CMF templates can have their caching headers set by the caching policy manager with the same fine-grained control. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/408) - testing: Added test layers for setting up ZCML. - CMFDefault formlib: Added zope.formlib support. This includes some CMF specific base classes and an 'EmailLine' field. - browser views: Added some zope.formlib based forms. - CMFDefault utils: Added 'checkEmailAddress' function. - Added CMFCore.FSRestMethod: ReST equivalent of FSSTXMethod. - CMFCore.FSSTXMethod: Modernized, added tests, made customization possible (now renders via ZPT by default, using 'main_template'). - Portal: Added 'email_charset' property. - CMFDefault utils: Added 'makeEmail' function. - CMFDefault.Image and CMFDefault.File: Overridden index_html methods add Cache Policy Manager-awareness and thus bring these implementations in line with CMFCore.FSFile and CMFCore.FSImage (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/454) Bug Fixes - CMFCore.CachingPolicyManager: Prevent firing of caching policies for templates (DTML or ZPT) that are rendered in-line (without a separate request) while rendering the requested content item's view. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/456) - CMFDefault RegistrationTool: Fixed too restrictive email checking. The new 'checkEmailAddress' function is now used. - Fixed test breakage induced by use of Z3 pagetemplates in Zope 2.10+. - CMFDefault skins: Fixed encoding issues in welcome and reminder emails. 'password_email' and 'registered_email' now encode their return value correctly, using 'email_charset' and the new 'makeEmail' function. Others - The CMF now depends on Zope 2.10.1

Document Library 1.2b Released
by kit BLAKE 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

20 november 2006 - Infrae has just released version 1.2b of Document Library. This release adds LDAP authentication support, file system storage based on Tramline, simplified installation with Zope Buildout, and automated functional tests. What is Document Library? Document Library is a document management application intended for the tracking of large amounts of documents in an organization. Document Library is built with Zope3 and is open source. It is also open data: the contents of Document Library can be harvested using the standard OAI-PMH protocol and integrated with other applications. Integration with the Silva CMS using this technology is provided. New Features * Easy installation, using Zope Buildout. * LDAP support, based on ldappas and ldapadapter. * Filesystem storage support, based on Tramline and hurry.file. * A more reliable conversion between file formats, provided by the OooConv conversion server, which now has an easy way to install too. * Now uses zc.table (a new dependency) to draw document listing screens. * Removed IP-based groups support. This was no longer a requirement of the customer and a bit of an implementation liability, so instead chose to remove a lot of code. If you do require IP based groups support in the Document Library, please contact Infrae and tell us about your requirements. * LDAP authentication support. For more information and a complete feature list see the Document Library product page on the Infrae site: http://www.infrae.com/products/documentlibrary Download The Document Library application can be downloaded from: http://www.infrae.com/download/documentlibrary Credit Thanks to the people at the University of Bedfordshire for their ideas, feedback, and vision: http://www.beds.ac.uk/ Contact FMI contact Daniel Nouri, daniel at infrae, +31 10 243 7051.

Five release fest: Five 1.3.8, 1.4.2, 1.5.1 released
by Philipp von Weitershausen 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

The Five team is happy to announce the release of three Five stable releases today! Many thanks to Rocky Burt for making those releases! What is Five ------------ Five is a Zope 2 product that allows you to integrate Zope 3 technologies into Zope 2, today. Among others, it allows you to use Zope 3 interfaces, ZCML-based configuration, adapters, browser pages (including skins, layers, and resources), automated add and edit forms based on schemas, object events, as well as Zope 3-style i18n message catalogs. We've tried to keep the Five experience as close to Zope 3 as possible, so this means that what you learn while using Five should also be applicable to Zope 3, and viceversa. More information about Five can be found on our website, http://codespeak.net/z3/five/. Changes ------- * browser: processInputs now decodes strings in lists and tuples. * Made the __call__ method of ViewMixinForAttributes have the same signature as the original attribute. This aids some pathological request parameter marshalling. * Port code from Zope 3 making resource directories recursive. Thanks to Richard Waid. * formlib: Removed redundant subpageform.pt and pageform.pt. Added missing error view configuration. (Five 1.4 and 1.5 only) * Fixed #2168: Missing import (Five 1.5 only) * site: Fixed small bug in FiveSiteManager. (issue #2198) (Five 1.5 only) About the Zope 3 Base --------------------- Five is part of the *Zope 3 Base* project, which aims to offer an approachable area for developers of Zope 3 related software. More about the Zope 3 base and its projects can be found on the project website, http://codespeak.net/z3/.
