ZODB 3.2.6 final released
by Tim Peters 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.2.6 final. This corresponds to the ZODB released in Zope 2.7.5 earlier today. You can download a source tarball or Windows installer from: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2 Only documentation changes were made since the 3.2.6b1 release. There are several critical bugfixes in this release, addressing rare problems in two major areas: - Thread and asyncore races while ZEO is attempting to make a connection, leading to connection failure and/or missed messages. - Rare cases in which FileStorage could reuse object identifiers, assigning the same oid to two distinct objects. See the news file for details: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2/NEWS ZODB 3.2.6 can be used with Zopes in the 2.7 line, at or after Zope 2.7.3. Note that ZODB 3.2.6 does not support development on Zope 2.8, Zope X3 or Zope 3 (they require a ZODB in the 3.3 or 3.4 lines).

Five 0.3 released!
by Martijn Faassen 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

Five 0.3 released! ================== The Five team is happy to release Five 0.3. Five is a Zope 2 product that allows you to integrate Zope 3 technologies into Zope 2, today. The most important feature of this release is undoubtedly the ability to use Zope 3 style add and edit forms. This is thanks to hard work by Lennart Regebro from Nuxeo. In addition, Lennart contributed the ability to use Zope 3 menus with Five. We've also worked on an improved compatibility with Zope 2 page templates, so it is more easy to reuse Zope 2-level macros with Five now. Dieter Maurer contributed essential code to accomplish this. Consult the CHANGES for more details: 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 0.3, even though it has an early version number, is being used in production-grade projects, among others at Nuxeo and Infrae. Infrae and Nuxeo have recently announced to cooperate on the development of Zope 3 technologies: http://www.zope.org/Members/infrae/news/infrae_nuxeo_cooperation and this should bring further good news for Five in the future! Five 0.3 can be downloaded here: http://codespeak.net/z3/five/releases/Five-0.3.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/ More about Infrae and Nuxeo --------------------------- Infrae: http://www.infrae.com Nuxeo: http://www.nuxeo.com

Infrae and Nuxeo join forces and cooperate on Zope 3 technologies ================================================================= Rotterdam/Paris, 10 march 2005 - Infrae, based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and Nuxeo, based in Paris, France, announce their cooperation on developing enterprise-grade software, with a focus on Zope 3 application technologies. The two companies have a proven track record in enterprise CMS software, and long experience with the Zope 3 platform. Infrae is the creator of the ‘Silva’ CMS, and Nuxeo of the ‘Collaborative Portal Server’ (CPS). Through this cooperation, with our expertise in content management, internet communication, semantic web, user interfaces, content repositories, and XML technologies, we intend to advance the state of the art for our software and our customers, as well as the broader development community. Next generation technology -------------------------- The Zope 3 platform is an advanced new version of the powerful Zope application server, developed by Zope Corporation together with an international group of open source developers. Zope 3 is written in the acclaimed Python language, and enables programmers to rapidly develop robust applications. Built around a component architecture, Zope 3 offers increased reusability and customizability, cuts production cost and time to delivery, and extends the Zope platform’s lead in component-based software development. Continuing commitment to the Zope 2 platform -------------------------------------------- Infrae and Nuxeo remain committed to the Zope 2 platform. During the preceding months the companies have used Five to extend Silva and CPS with Zope 3 technology. Five is a component - developed by Infrae and now maintained by an open source community - to integrate Zope 3 technologies in Zope 2. Nuxeo has made significant contributions to Five, for instance exposing the full power of the Zope 3 schema/forms machinery. Five is now ready for production use. Open source development model ----------------------------- Infrae and Nuxeo are committed to the development of free software. We intend to build the new components using an open source methodology. Other people and parties are welcome to collaborate. We see the advent of Zope 3 technologies as a key opportunity to align and unify the Zope content management world, streamlining the exchange of software, knowledge, and experience within the community. About Infrae ------------ Infrae is a software development company based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with a focus on Internet applications and integration services. Its concentration is tools for content, web-authoring, and asset management. This activity is supported by an international network of code, skills, and knowledge. Contact: Martijn Faassen: +31 10 243 7051, faassen(a)infrae.com Web: http://www.infrae.nl/ About Nuxeo ----------- Nuxeo is the leader of the CPS project, and the leading european Zope service provider. With clients in central and local administrations, industry, finance, transportation, publishing, etc., we have developed unique technical and consulting skills for the implementation of CPS in medium to large organisations. Nuxeo supports the open source / free software movement by publishing software components under a free license (GNU GPL) and by contributing as a core developer to the development of the Zope, CMF, ERP5, Five and Plone open source platforms. Nuxeo supports the action of the EuroLinux Alliance and FFII in favor of software innovation and free software, and against software patents, harmful for competition and innovation.

Ingeniweb releases PloneArticle 3.1
by Olivier Deckmyn - INGENIWEB 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

Hi there ! We are very proud to announce release of PloneArticle 3.1 today ! PloneArticle is full-featured **Archetypes-based content type** which provides an Article/Document type with many improvements and comfort: * Multiple Images, Attachments (files) and links support * Multiple page layouts (models) for your articles * Full Archetypes integration, with the ability to reference content in your article to create an aggregated article * Support for attachments **indexing** and **preview** for numerous file types * A lock support - useful for team work * A really friendly user-interface, thought for **end-user** ! * Full featured configlet for easy configuration ## Features * Add Images : Add any images to your article, as they come from your hard-drive. With our images support, no extra-bandwith consumed : thumbnails are calculated once and cached on the server. (using PIL, not mandatory) * Add Attachments : Add as many attachment as you want to your article. Content type is detected, and the correct icon is shown. PLUS : the **content** of your attachment is indexed. You need the GPL [PloneExFile][1] for this feature. _Next version will enhance support for External Editor, in order to ease modification of attachment directly from the web_. * Link your content : Add links from your article to any content of your website, using a nice interface, and have the links **automatically** maintainied ! (thanx to Archetypes reference mechanism). Links to external website are also possible. * Choose your Layout : All articles are given a presentation template (a _model_) to provide an uniform way to deliver content to your visitors. A tenth out-of-the-box models is shipped with PloneArticle, and you can create as many additional models as you want. _Next release will come with a graphical tool to edit your models without any html knownledge ([ PloneArticleModelEditor][2])_. * Store anywhere : Article content storage and referencing Article content (attachments, images and links) can be either directly integrated into the article, or referenced from other Archetypes content elsewhere in your website. As PloneArticle is compatible with virtually any Archetypes-based content type, PA provides a seamless integration into your Plone site and a smooth way to upgrade to PloneArticle. * Work in a team : PloneArticle has a **lock management** feature, allowing a contributor to lock its content, ie. to remove other peoples's write permissions on a particular PloneArticle. Only the person who locked the article or an administrator can unlock it. Of course, you can disable this feature in our configlet if you don't want to mess your users ;) Furthermore, the referencing feature brings a new step in Plone's team work management : you can work your underlying content (images, files and links) in team workspaces and have a small set of plone articles in your "public" space referencing those private documents. This makes your workflow design a lot easier. * Indexing and preview support : With our [PloneExFile][1] and [ AttachmentField][3] products, the content your attachments (PDF, Word, Excel, ...) are now indexed by Plone and can be previewed in HTML directly into Plone! It can parse content, in order to index and preview PDF, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, HTML and text formats, even without installing any additional software on Windows platform! * Internationalization : PloneArticle is fully translated in english, french, italian, japanese and portugese, thanks to our contributors. ## License and support PloneArticle is GPL. It's hosted on SourceForge, so anybody can easily contribute it. You can contact us at support(a)ingeniweb.com The project is fully Open-Source and hosted at [SourceForge][4] Download here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ingeniweb Contact us for more information: http://www.ingeniweb.com , contact(a)ingeniweb.com or by phone: +33 1 30 06 01 41.
