** AdaptableStorage and DBTab ** I will present a tutorial on AdaptableStorage at PyCon 2003 in March. The tutorial will explain how to use AdaptableStorage with and without Zope, focusing on mapping objects to relational databases. If you've been looking for a reason to join the conference, maybe this is it! http://www.python.org/pycon/ Also, several people have tried out AdaptableStorage in the past two of weeks and have provided good feedback as well as new code, so it's time for a new release. Special thanks to Christian Zagrodnick, Chris Withers, Data Lim, Elena Schulz, and Andreas Jung. Version 0.5 brought a lot of improvements to the filesystem mapping. It provides proper mapping of Python Scripts, ZSQL methods, DTML methods, and DTML Documents. It also stores new objects with automatic filename extensions, making it easier to use with filesystem-oriented tools. DBTab, now at version 1.1, got an update designed to make it faster and safer. It is recommended that you update both products at the same time. http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/AdaptableStorage http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/DBTab ** DCWorkflow ** A lot of work has gone into DCWorkflow by the community. It's time for a new official release. Version 0.5 adds help documentation contributed by John Morton and several bugfixes. http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/DCWorkflow ** VerboseSecurity ** VerboseSecurity, a small product that reveals the reasons for denied access in Zope, helps solve the most puzzling of Zope access control misconfigurations. However, previous releases sometimes generated false error reports. This release goes back to simple exception propagation, making it simpler and more reliable. http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/VerboseSecurity Shane
