announcing catchmail for python and postgres
by Andrew Stuart 11 Oct '04

11 Oct '04

Hello zope users and developers, I thought you might be interested in a new program: catchmail http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/mysite/catchmail.htm catchmail stores emails in a Postgres database. It does nothing more however. It is a lightweight Python script for parsing and storing email. Perhaps there is scope for catchmail databases being integrated into zope apps. Feedback valued.

10 Oct '04

Hi Zope Community, The ZPhotoSlides development team is proud to announce ZPhotoSlides 2.0. Since 6 months ZPhotoSlides changed a lot. We didn't release earlier as we wanted to release a "strong" new version of the Product. We made many changes in the code so that it will be easier to use (and to upgrade). Enjoy! --- What is ZPhotoSlides? --- ZPhotoSlides is an Image management system for professional or private usage. ZPhotoSlides will take your photos, thumbnailize them and show them in a nice environement. Next main part of ZPhotoSlides is management which will help you to edit your photos from your browser (rotate, color, add text on photo...), to manage the comments, the different title, the postcards, to view the different photo in different format/size, the statistics ... --- Main new features --- Full CMF and Plone Integration Export ZPhoto, ZPhotoSlides Translation are done by PlacelessTranslationService (not Localizer anymore) Lot's of changes in class division (implementation, dtml to zpt) Added a ZPhoto Object Added a config file for zope administartor (size limitation, photo default format...) Works perfectly with ImageMagick Better default layout Added new permissions (export, postcard...) Parse IPTC and EXIF informations without PIL For more information visit http://www.zphotoslides.org Thanks to Gael Pasgrimaud for his huge help to the project. Enjoy!

ZODB 3.3 final released
by Tim Peters 06 Oct '04

06 Oct '04

I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.3 final. This corresponds to the ZODB (and ZEO) in ZopeX3-3.0.0 release candidate 2. You can download a source tarball or Windows installer from: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.3 Since 3.3c1, some small fixes were made on code paths unique to Zope 2.8 usage (code not used by Zope X3, Zope 3, or by ZODB itself). And thanks to a 1-character change noted by Andreas Jung, the sizes of network messages exchanged between ZEO clients and servers are smaller now, up to a factor of 4 improvement in extreme cases. See the news file for details: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.3/NEWS.html Note that ZODB 3.3 does not support any version of Zope 2.6 or 2.7. ZODB 3.3 does support Zope X3 and 3, and current Zope 2.8 trunk development. On a personal note, I'd like to thank Jeremy Hylton for his hard work on ZODB 3.3. He left before it was finished, but it wouldn't have even started without him. Thanks, Jeremy!

Zope X3 3.0.0 RC 2 released
by Stephan Richter 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Hello Zope community, The Zope 3 development team is proud to announce the second release candidate for Zope X3 3.0.0. Hopefully this will be the last one. Zope X3 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. The "X" in the name stands for "experimental", since this release does not try to provide any backward-compatibility to Zope 2. Downloads http://zope.org/Products/ZopeX3 Installation instructions for both Windows and Un*x/Linux are now available in the top level README.txt of the distribution. The binary installer is recommended for Windows. Changes since RC 1 - A security related bug was fixed. See the "Issue Collector":http://collector.zope.org/Zope3-Dev/286 for details. - Fixed a bug that would crash the API Doc tool, if no default skin was specified. - Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation. - Updated to latest version of the ZODB, version 3.3 final. - The 'zope.app.observable' package was removed from the release, since it was unusable. - The 'zope.app.i18nfile' package was removed, since it was always just a demo to demonstrate the internationalization of content. However, it has not been maintained with regard to recent changes and does not function properly anymore, so we decided to remove it. - Updated translations. Enjoy, the Zope 3 Development Team

Silva 1.1 released
by Martijn Faassen 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Silva 1.1 released =================== Infrae has just released Silva 1.1 (final). Silva 1.1 includes the following new features: * XSLT support for rendering Silva objects. This adds more flexibility to the way Silva objects are presented, and when used also provides a nice performance boost. XSLT support can optionally be enabled on a per-object basis. XSLT support needs libxml2/libxslt, but Silva also continues to work if you do not have these installed. * A new XML export/system that can also export and import asset data in a zip file. * abbr and acronym support for both forms editor and Kupu. * New parser for SilvaDocument forms-based editor, using a HTML subset instead of the old-style method using special characters. This should increase the performance of the parser and makes it easier to use. Besides new features Silva 1.1 of course also contains bugfixes. Silva 1.1 should work with Silva News 1.0 and SilvaExternalSources 0.9.1, both to be found on the Infrae website. Download -------- As of the 1.1 release cycle, Silva's download area has moved off zope.org to the infrae.com website. Silva can be downloaded here: http://www.infrae.com/download/Silva/ The easiest way is to download the Silva-1.1-all.tgz file, and unpack this in your products directory. See the INSTALL.txt included in the Silva product for more information. For Silva extensions such as SilvaNews and SilvaExternalSources, please see the overview here: http://www.infrae.com/download/ What is Silva? -------------- Silva is a completely browser based CMS for creating publications for the web, paper, and other media. Content is stored in a clean and future-proof format, independent of layout and presentation, suitable for use in multiple contexts. Silva allows novice users to enter new documents as well as edit existing documents using a simple web interface. For more information about Silva, please see: http://www.infrae.com/products/silva
