[ANN] TextIndexNG 3.0 beta 1 released
by Andreas Jung 03 May '05

03 May '05

I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG V 3 beta 1. TextIndexNG V 3 is a complete new implementation based on Zope 3 technologies and can be used both in Zope 2.8 or 2.7 (with Five) or in Zope 3. What's new? - multi-field indexing and query support - multi-lingual support - configurable converters (through ZCML) - new indexing API (allowing you to hook your custom content types with TextIndexNG through Zope 3 adapters). Requirements: - Zope 2.8 or Zope 2.7 (+ Five) or Zope 3 (Zope 3 has nothing like catalogs yet) TextIndexNG V3 will *not* run with bare Zope 2.7 installations without Five (and this will not be changed in the future). Download: http://sf.net/projects/textindexng For installation issues refer to doc/README.txt from the archive. It's basically the same procedure as with former versions except you *need* to recompile the extension modules. TextIndexNG V 3 is published under the GPL.

SilvaFlexibleXML released
by Martijn Faassen 02 May '05

02 May '05

Infrae is happy to release Silva Flexible XML, a Silva_ extension that exposes advanced XML facilities to Silva. This enables users to work with native XML content within a Silva context. Silva has always had deep support for XML, but tries to make the user experience so that end-users are not exposed to XML directly. Power-users however do sometimes use to wish XML directly, and Silva Flexible XML provides the answer. Silva Flexible XML aims to integrate Silva with standard XML technologies such as XSLT and Relax NG. Silva Flexible XML provides a new Silva Flexible XML Document content type that can deal with arbitrary XML. It validate XML content entered using an Relax NG schema, and transform it using an XSLT template. Also provided is a new Silva Flexible XSLT Report content type that can be used to transform XML coming from arbitrary XML sources to provide a new view on output. An RSS feed for instance can be transformed using XSLT into an XHTML page. On an interesting technical note, Silva Flexible XML is the first software that Infrae has released that uses Five_, and is thus using Zope 3 technology to do its job. Five is the Zope 3 in Zope 2 technology that Infrae initially created and is now maintained and extended by a very active group of Zope developers. We believe Five is an important component in driving the future of Zope development. Silva Flexible XML also builds on lxml_, a Python library intended to make access from Python to libxml2 and libxslt functionalities much more easy.

ZODB 3.2.8 final released
by Tim Peters 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.2.8 (final). Also irked, since ZODB 3.2.7 final was released just yesterday. Alas, an incompatible change in 3.2.7's ZopeUndo.Prefix implementation effectively made it impossible to use a 3.2.7 ZEO server with a Zope running a ZODB earlier than 3.2.7, or vice versa. Luckily, the release of Zope 2.7.6 final slipped until this coming Friday, and Zope 2.7.6 will ship with ZODB 3.2.8 (not, as announced yesterday, with ZODB 3.2.7). No other changes were made since yesterday's 3.2.7 release. See the NEWS file for details: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2/NEWS You can download a source tarball or Windows installer from: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2 Note that there are two Windows installers, one for use with the Python 2.3 line (2.3.5 is recommended), and one for use with the Python 2.4 line (2.4.1 is recommended). Python 2.4 has not yet been certified for use with Zope, but Python 2.4.1 is supported for standalone ZODB/ZEO use. ZODB 3.2.8 can be used with Zopes in the 2.7 line, at or after Zope 2.7.3. Note that ZODB 3.2.8 does not support development on Zope 2.8, Zope X3 or Zope 3 (they require the ZODB 3.4 line now).

Five 1.0 released!
by Martijn Faassen 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

Five 1.0 released! ================== The Five team is happy to release Five 1.0. Five is a Zope 2 product that allows you to integrate Zope 3 technologies into Zope 2, today. There are no big feature additions compared to Five 0.3, but does include significant bugfixes, along with some minor tweaks. We went directly to 1.0 as we feel that Five is production-ready software. Five 1.0 works with Zope 2.7. The big news is that we also plan to include Five 1.0 in Zope 2.8, so that you can use Zope 3 technology in Zope 2.8 out of the box. Much work to enable this was done at the Paris Zope 3/Five sprint organized by Nuxeo. This release therefore also contains the changes made to integrate Five into Zope 2.8 done at the Paris Zope 3/Five sprint, but works with Zope 2.7. Consult the CHANGES_ for more details. .. _CHANGES: http://codespeak.net/z3/five/CHANGES.html Five right now allows you to use the following Zope 3 technologies in Zope 2: * Zope 3 interfaces * adapters * pages (views), including skins, layers and resources * edit and add forms, based on schemas * ZCML 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. Five 1.0 is being used in production-grade projects, among others at Nuxeo_ and Infrae_. .. _Nuxeo: http://www.nuxeo.com .. _Infrae: http://www.infrae.com Five 1.0 can be downloaded here: http://codespeak.net/z3/five/releases/Five-1.0.tgz More information about Five can be found on our website, here: http://codespeak.net/z3/five/ We hope you'll join our mailing list and let hear from yourself! 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 here: http://codespeak.net/z3/

26 Apr '05

I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.2.7 (final). This corresponds to the ZODB that will be released in Zope 2.7.6 (final) tomorrow. You can download a source tarball or Windows installer from: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2 ZODB 3.2.7 fixes a critical bug in BTree conflict resolution, which could, in rare cases, lead to silent data loss. It's strongly recommended that all ZODB 3.2 users upgrade to 3.2.7 for this reason alone. There are also a small number of minor bugfixes, and new code allowing for better control of ZEO server processes on Windows. See the news file for details: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2/NEWS Note that there are two Windows installers, one for use with the Python 2.3 line (2.3.5 is recommended), and one for use with the Python 2.4 line (2.4.1 is recommended). Note that Python 2.4 has not yet been certified for use with Zope, but Python 2.4.1 is supported for standalone ZODB/ZEO use. ZODB 3.2.7 can be used with Zopes in the 2.7 line, at or after Zope 2.7.3. Note that ZODB 3.2.7 does not support development on Zope 2.8, Zope X3 or Zope 3 (they require the ZODB 3.4 line now).
