Hi, I'm pleased to announce ZSQLcryptDA, a Zope database adaptor for SQLcrypt. SQLcrypt is a commercial enhancement of SQLite that provides transparent AES encryption. Download ZSQLcryptDA and PySQLcrypt here: http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/Dist/pysqlcrypt-1.1.4.zip This is a commercial demo: It works, but the underlying demo SQLcrypt engine also stores the passphrase at the beginning of the database file. More info on ZSQLcryptDA: http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/171 Feedback is welcome. Cheers. -- Ng Pheng Siong <phengsiong(a)gmail.com> http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps -+- M2Crypto, ZServerSSL for Zope, Blog http://www.sqlcrypt.com/ -+- Transparent AES Encryption for SQLite

DavPack 1.0.1 released
by Andy McKay 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Enfold Systems releases DavPack, a product to "fix" WebDAV support with Plone. * Large files can be uploaded without huge memory problems (typically an 80 mb file loaded into Plone via WebDAV causes 160 mb of memory growth). This is true for: o Standard Plone (CMF) content types o Archetypes 1.3 content types * All property values are consistently encoded for WebDAV requests * Objects called index_html can be created through WebDAV All these patches are being submitted to the various maintainers and will one day make DavPack irrelevant, but we've released them all as a product so you can make use of them immediately.

emailinzope and atemail checked in to collective
by Tim Hicks 14 Nov '04

14 Nov '04

Hello, I've just checked two very experimental products into the collective on sourceforge. 'emailinzope' is an SMTP server (based very heavily on Nikolay Kim's smtpserver code in the collective) that allows ZODB objects to have an influence over if and how messages are delivered into zope. 'atemail' is provides a set of objects that allow incoming messages from the emailinzope SMTP server to be received, managed and stored. There are no 'releases' of these products and I'm only announcing at this early stage to see if there are any people interested in functionality of this sort in the hope that code contributions may follow. The *very* pre-alpha nature of the code, the rather awkward requirements on the atemail product (zope 2.8.x and potentially a patched CMF) and the fact that access to the code is only via CVS checkout means that this announcement is only likely to be of interest to developers willing to get their hands a little dirty. Questions and feedback more than welcome. tim

Zope 3 Users Mailing List
by Stephan Richter 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hello everyone, on popular demand from a couple of people we have decided to create a new Zope 3 Users mailing list that will serve to answer your questions about Zope 3. The Zope 3 developers have made a commitment to answer your questions in a timely manner. We hope that this way the generic Zope and Zope3-Dev mailing list will be disburdened from user-related questions. You can subscribe to the mailing list at: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users Regards, Stephan

DirectoryStorage: data loss bug
by Toby Dickenson 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

DirectoryStorage is a robust, manageable, fault-tolerant, scalable storage for ZODB. http://dirstorage.sourceforge.net/ A bug has been discovered affecting all currently released versions, which can cause data loss when packing. A necessary condition for triggering this bug is for some storage files to be owned by a uid different to that of the storage process at the point the pack is run. This scenario will not occur naturally during normal operation - no storage will be affected by this bug unless an administrator has been manually changing ownership of files or processes. All damage caused by this bug can be manually undone using DirectoryStorage's delayed deletion feature, provided the damage is discovered in time. In the default configuration, within 10 days of the pack that caused the damage. For more information see http://dirstorage.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html#deleted The damage will appear as a POSKeyError when accessing damaged objects. All damage caused by this bug can be detected using DirectoryStorage's checkds storage checking tool. If checkds finds no problem then your storage is clean. Please raise any questions about this problem on dirstorage-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net. Fixes will be made available shortly. My apologies to anyone inconvenienced by this issue. Thanks to Matt Hamilton for uncovering the problem. Toby Dickenson
