Zope 3.3.0 rc1 released!
by Philipp von Weitershausen 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

The Zope 3 development team is proud to announce Zope 3.3.0 rc1. Zope 3 is the next major Zope release and has been written from scratch based on the latest software design patterns and the experiences of Zope 2. Cleanup of the Zope 3 packages has continued to ensure a flexible and scalable platform. We continued the work on making the transition from Zope 2 to Zope 3 by making Zope 2.10 use even more of the Zope 3 packages. But we're not there yet. **You can't run Zope 2 applications in Zope 3.** Downloads --------- http://zope.org/Products/Zope3 Installation instructions for both Windows and Un*x/Linux are now available in the top level README.txt file of the distribution. The binary installer is recommended for Windows. Zope 3.3 requires Python 2.4.1 to run. You must also have zlib installed on your system. Most Important Changes Since Zope 3.2 ------------------------------------- - Provided a new component registry API that allows multiple component registries to be combined more flexibly than before. See 'zope.component.interfaces.IComponentRegistry' for more information. - Greatly simplified local-component registration. See 'zope.component.interfaces.IComponentRegistry' for more information. - Moved many packages out of zope.app to make them easier to use outside of Zope. - Change the session credentials plugin to make it configurable in which fields it looks for the credentials. - Added a new API for collating text. You can now adapt a locale to 'zope.i18n.interfaces.ILocales.ICollator'. You can then use that to sort strings, such as menu entries, in a locale-specific fashion. - A new 'zope.annotation.factory' helper function that makes it easier to create annotations. Also added a README in 'zope.annotation' which explains how to use it. - Added a more complete set of widgets for fields that use iterable sources. These widgets now mirror the set provided by vocabulary-based fields. - Added a cleaner and more robust API to testbrowser for setting file-upload data. - Deprecated several ZCML directives: * factory * vocabulary * content (as an alias to the class directive) * modulealias * renderer:renderer - The 'browser:layer' directive and the 'ILayer' interface has been deprecated. Registering layers has become obsolete, layers should be created as interfaces extending 'IBrowserRequest'. - The 'browser:skin' directive has been deprecated. Skins should be created as interfaces extending 'IBrowserRequest' and can be registered using a simple 'utility' directive. - The 'ISkin' interface has been renamed to 'IBrowserSkinType'. For a complete list of changes see the 'CHANGES.txt' file.

Hotfix for Further reST Integration Issue
by Jim Fulton 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

After reviewing the docutils / reStructuredText integration in Zope 2, we have discovered that versions 2.7.0 - 2.7.8 and 2.8.0 - 2.8.8 are vulnerable to a further information disclosure exploit. Overview This hotfix removes the exploit by disabling the reStructuredText feature which exposes the vulnerability. This vulnerability has been fixed on the 2.8 branch, and will thus not be present in any future release from that branch (2.8.9 or later). Zope2 versions from 2.9 and the trunk are not vulnerable to this exploit. Note that this hotfix fixes a problem not attressed by the earlier reStructuredText integration hotfix ; that hotfix needs to remain installed until after upgrading to a fixed version of Zope. Hotfix We have prepared a hot fix for this problem at: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix-2006-08-21/Hotfix-20060821/. This hotfix should be installed as soon as possible. To install, simply extract the archive into your Products directory in your Zope installation. See: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix-2006-08-21/ Hotfix-20060821/README.txt, for installation instructions. It is important to install this hotfix as soon as possible. This fix will disable the reStructuredText csv-table directive. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered!
