Five 1.2 and 1.3 released!
by Philipp von Weitershausen 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

Five 1.2 and 1.3 released! ========================== The Five team is happy to announce the release of two Five versions today, Five 1.2 and 1.3! 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/. Five 1.2 -------- Five 1.2 is the last release line of Five to work with Zope 2.8 and its included Zope X3 3.0. It does not work on Zope 2.7 anymore (use Five 1.1 if you're bound to Zope 2.7) Compared to 1.1, it introduces the following compelling list of new features: * Local site support Five now supports local sites in Zope 2. Sites are a concept known from Zope 3 and similar to CMF's sites (only that they can be nested). Thanks to Sidnei da Silva for the initial development back in March, Lennart Regebro and Philipp von Weitershausen for bringing it up to date for inclusion into Five 1.2. * Improved event support Five can now make standard Zope 2 containers (aka object managers) send Zope 3-style events for adding, moving, copying and deleting contained objects, instead of calling their manage_afterAdd, manage_beforeDelete, etc. methods. Thanks to Florent Guillaume for thinking through this non-trivial matter and implementing it. * Marker interfaces utility Five now includes a feature known from Zope X3 3.0's introspector, the ability to set marker interfaces on objects to influence their behaviour (such as view or adapter look-up). This also includes a browser page with a page template macro for doing so through-the-web. This feature is based on Sidnei da Silva's Plone-based product Flon. Thanks to him for the original implementation as well as Godefroid Chapelle, Whit Morriss and Yvo Schubbe for bringing it to Five 1.2. * Class registration through ZCML It is now possible to register Zope 2 classes through ZCML so that they show up in the ZMI as addable meta types. This basically obsolete's the boiler-plate ``initialize()`` function in products' ``__init__.py`` files, as well as equipping classes with a ``meta_type`` in the first place. Thanks to Yvo Schubbe for suggesting and implementing this great helper for cleaning out Zope 2 boiler plate code out of products. * New test runner Five 1.2 (and only 1.2) includes a forked copy of Zope 3.2's improved test runner which brings, among others, better doctest debugging and support for running tests on different levels and layers. Thanks to Tres Seaver for integrating this into Five 1.2. For more information please consult the changes document: http://codespeak.net/z3/five/CHANGES.html Five 1.2 can be downloaded at http://codespeak.net/z3/five/release/Five-1.2.tgz. Five 1.3 -------- Five 1.3 is a straight port of Five 1.2 to Zope 3.2 which will be included in this December's Zope 2.9 release. Five 1.3 itself will also be part of Zope 2.9. It does not introduce any new features compared to Five 1.2, however, some restructuring has been made: * Most of the event work has been folded into Zope 2. That means that Zope 2.9 will ship with event-enabled object managers out of the box! * Several legacy packages were removed from Five as they are now included in Zope 2, such as Zope 3-style interfaces for OFS et.al. as well as the new test runner We are not providing a downloadable tarball of Five 1.3b. Instead it has been integrated into Zope 2.9 with which it will ship. To try out Zope 2.9, you have to currently check out the Zope 2 trunk from the subversion repository. 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/.

ZODB 3.6.0 final released
by Tim Peters 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.6 final. This corresponds to the ZODB included (or that will be included) in Zope 2.9 final and Zope 3.2 final. You can download a source tarball or Windows installer from: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.6 Note that there are two Windows installers, for Python 2.3 (2.3.5 is recommended) and Python 2.4 (2.4.2 is recommended). Because Zope 2.9 and Zope 3.2 require Python 2.4.1+, it's unlikely that a Python 2.3 Windows installer will be built for later releases in the ZODB 3.6 line (I built one this time out of habit, but expect most people would rather see the time applied to something more generally useful). ZODB 3.6 adds a few new features, and incorporates all the bugfixes made to date in the ZODB 3.4 and 3.5 lines. Note that this is the first public release of ZODB 3.6 as a standalone package; 10 internal releases were made since last September to support ongoing Zope 2.9 and 3.2 development. See the NEWS file for details: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.6/NEWS.html The current status of all active ZODB lines can be seen here: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/CurrentStatus Note that ZODB 3.2 is now officially "retired", corresponding to the retirement of the Zope 2.7 line (no new releases in the Zope 2.7 or ZODB 3.2 lines are planned).

by Toby Dickenson 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

I am pleased to announce the release of DirectoryStorage, version 1.1.17. Over the last few months DirectoryStorage has been languishing at 'release candidate' status, so this is the first release badged 'stable' to include Zope 3 support (thanks to Philipp von Weitershausen), NTFS support (thanks to Enfold Systems and Mark Hammond), and numerous small improvements to replication and backup tools. http://dirstorage.sourceforge.net/ What is DirectoryStorage? An alternative storage for ZODB that uses ordinary files and directories to store revisions of ZODB objects; one file per revision per object. Designed to be robust, manageable, fault tolerant, and scalable.

Zope 3.2.0 beta 2 released!
by Stephan Richter 25 Dec '05

25 Dec '05

The Zope 3 development team is proud to announce Zope 3.2.0 beta 2. 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. It is our opinion that Zope 3 is more than ready for production use, which is why we decided to drop the 'X' for experimental from the name. We will also continue to work on making the transition between Zope 2 and Zope 3 as smooth as possible. As a first step, Zope 2.8 includes Zope 3 features in the form of Five. This is a long term effort. 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 3.2 requires Python 2.4.2 to run. You must also have zlib installed on your system. Most Important Changes Since 3.2b1 New features - Added an option to mkzopeinstance to create instances that use ZServer, rather than Twisted. - Changed the way returning large results is handled. Applications can now simply return files to the publisher. Bug Fixes - Added input buffering to the twisted integration - Fixed the plumbing in ZServer so that attempts to return large output efficiently using iterators can actually succeed. For a complete list of changes see the 'CHANGES.txt' file. Resources - "Zope 3 Development Web Site":http://dev.zope.org/Zope3 - "Zope 3 Dev Mailing List":http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-dev - "Zope 3 Users Mailing List":http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users - IRC Channel: #zope3-dev at irc.freenode.net Acknowledgments Thanks goes to everyone that contributed. Enjoy! The Zope 3 Development Team
