by Andreas Jung 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

I am pleased to announce the release of **PloneCollectorNG 1.1.3(PCNG)** This release is a bugfix-only release (no new features) and highly recommended for users of Plone 2.0 RC6 or higher. Changes since V 1.1.2: - Schemaeditor: StringFields using a !MultiSelection widget were indexed as !TextIndex instead as !FieldIndex - "Jump to ticket" has been broken - "Save search" has been broken - Workaround for changes in the Plone RC6+ infrastructure by introducing a translate.py script that broke all PloneCollectorNG instances Volunteers wanted: PloneCollectorNG is fully internationalized. If you want PCNG to support your language that translate the catalog file (i18n folder) to your language and submit it to me. Note: Any user should read doc/INSTALL.txt before the installation. Upgraders should reinstall the PCNG either through the quickinstall tool or through "Plone setup".

We wish to thank all the contributors (including the translators) and beta testers for their feedback on the beta releases. About CPS3 [2]Nuxeo CPS is an extensive collaborative Web content management system (CMS) implemented on top of Zope and the CMF, that enables organizations to easily, quickly and efficiently implement collaborative intranet, extranet or internet applications. In addition to the standard Zope / CMF services, CPS provides: * Platform-independent authoring and publishing, including a WYSIWYG editor mode * Workspaces and publication sections: + User elaborate content in workspaces + Content is published in sections after reviewer approval + Each section has its own workflow process, possibly with different reviewers * Interface customization and personalization using boxes (aka "portlets") * Through the Web document type creation: + Document definition using schemas, layouts and widgets + Flexible documents + Widgets include WYSIWYG editor using Epoz, date selection, internal links selection, etc. + Form validation + File indexing using external plugins (PortalTransforms) * Document versionning and archiving (check-in / check-out) so you can work on published documents and submit a new version without unpublishing them first * Interface internationalization (currently supported languages: english, french, italian (thanks to Paolo Dina), dutch (thanks to Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Belgium)) * Content internationalisation with independent workflows for different document translations * Powerful group-based user management, optionally based on LDAP or a PKI * Workflow improvements (local workflows, built in states/transitions) * Third-party components integration, including the popular [3]CPSSkins project by JM Orliaguet Who uses it ? CPS 3 is being used by Nuxeo, its partners and other entities in several high-profile projects. CPS3 has already been adopted as a standard offering by market-leading IT companies Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Unilog, Steria and SEMITA. We will provide, after we get appropriate clearance from our customers, more information about some of those projects in the form of case studies. Getting it and getting involved Download it on [4]http://zope.org/Members/nuxeo/Products/CPS3. CPS 3.0 has been tested with Zope 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.6.4 and 2.7.0. It is known not to work with Zope 2.6.3. Discuss it on the [5]cps-devel (developers), [6]cps-users (english-speaking users) and [7]cps-users-fr (french-speaking users) mailing lists. Feel free to ask if you believe other language-specific mailing list are needed. Follow the ongoing development on [8]CVS. What's next?

Planned features Here is a list of features we plan to provide either as add-ons for CPS 3.0 or in CPS 3.1: * New user interface * Workflow improvements (stack-based workflow) * Migration tool from CPS2 to CPS3 (CPSMigration) * Refactored installer (CPSInstaller) * MailBoxer integration (CPSMailBoxer) * Workflow editor (CPSWorkflowEditor) * Groupware tools (CPSCalendar and CPSWebmail) * Subscription framework (CPSSubscription) for mailing lists, events notification, newsletters... * Real-time chat (CPSChat) * Syndication support (CPSRSS) * Better OpenOffice.org integration * [10]ERP5 integration * Synchronization, replication and staging * Refactorings, cleanups, optimisations * Automatic installation on popular OS platforms Documentation Tutorials and manuals should be available soon.

Epoz 0.8.0 released
by Maik Jablonski 07 Mar '04

07 Mar '04

Hi, I've just released Epoz 0.8.0, which brings some often requested features (anchors, relative urls) and some fixes for the upcoming Plone-2-release. Epoz is a cross-browser wysiwyg-editor for Zope & Plone & CPS & etc.pp.. Epoz works with current IE & Mozilla-based browsers and can easily be integrated into own applications. Download Epoz at: http://mjablonski.zope.de/Epoz Demo for Epoz (sorry, still 0.7.4, no time to update yet...;): http://www.zfl.uni-bielefeld.de/personal/mjablonski/epoz Just a personal note: Some people are still irritated about another project called Epoz(NG) (with major release numbers). EpozNG is a kind of fork of Epoz (with minor release numbers), but should be considered as a new project which only shares the name with the former Epoz and will be renamed soon. Development will go on for Epoz and EpozNG. CHANGES 0.8.0 - added support for uTidylib (http://utidylib.sourceforge.net/) Thanks to Shane Hathaway from Zope Corporation for his patches!!! Please note: there are still some problems with UTF8; maybe someone can provide a patch? - rearranged the Javascript so that it's not necessary to "auto"-switch to source mode when saving. Thanks again to Shane Hathaway from Zope Corporation for his patches!!! - added pageurl-parameter to Epoz; pageurl defines the base url of the edited page. The pageurl is forwarded to Epoz(Post)Tidy, so you can rewrite urls according to the given base url. **PLEASE NOTE:** You must add an additional parameter if you use EpozPostTidy-Hooks in your applications. - added support for adding anchors; works very nice with Mozilla, IE doesn't show the css-styles. IE is crap anyway... Thanks to Christian Theune from Gocept for his patches!!! - added global support (EpozGetRelativeUrl) for calculating relative urls from absolute urls; Thanks to Gilles Lenfant for this feature! Please see README.txt for how to enable this feature. - added simple example for EpozPostTidy-Hook to README.txt. - added danish-translation; thanks to Nikolay Kim!!! - fixed bug: IE couldn't handle anchors; added base-tag to epoz_blank_iframe.html. Thanks to Stefanie Panke pointing me to this problem. - changed default height of the edit form in Plone to be a more sensible 450px (limi). - removed annoying pop-up saying "Your browser does not support XML-RPC" from the JS. If it doesn't, we degrade anyway - no reason to insult the user. ;) (limi) - fixed epoz_toolbox to use 'sanctioned' calls for meta_types. Thanks to Marc Lindahl for patch!!! - wysiwyg_support was causing a wierd error when used inside CMFBoard sometimes (Attribute Error: meta_type). Traced it to test of text_format. test() evaluates both true and false branches. Restructured it to fix the problem. Thanks to Marc Lindahl for patch!!! - fixed tabindex for Plone (limi) - added class="visualFontSizeCorrection" to body-tag of epoz_blank_iframe.html; mostly needed for displaying correct font-sizes for the wysiywg-area in Plone 2.0. Please note: To use this with older Plones, add visualFontSizeCorrection { font-size:75%; } to your ploneCustom.css (limi) - synced default wysiwyg_support with Plone 2.0. Thanks to all people who provided patches & ideas! Keep zoped, Cheers, Maik -- Zentrum für Lehrerbildung / Universität Bielefeld http://www.zfl.uni-bielefeld.de/personal/mjablonski
