We are proud to present the beta 3 release of Archetypes 1.2.0. This release includes the following improvements, in no particular order: - Added two new classes: BaseContentMixin and BaseFolderMixin which are exactly like BaseFolder and BaseContent, but without the ExtensibleMetadata. In fact, they are BaseFolder and BaseContent stripped down and BaseFolder and BaseContent just subclass them. - BaseObject now uses getCharset to consistently use the portal charset in all places where unicode is used. - Added tests for External Editor integration. Make sure a BaseUnit is always returned. - Merged patch by Ricardo Lemmi for GadflyStorage. - Fixed unicode tests that were broken - Added a few marshaller tests (to check that both a .doc and a .rst file are uploaded and retrieved correctly by default) - Fixed BaseObject.get_size() to behave correctly w/ regards to DateTime fields and other fields that are not easily measureable - Added an optional 'values' keyword argument to processForm which has preference over REQUEST.form - Various improvements on schema migration, thanks to Geoff Davis - DisplayList is now publically accessible. That means you can import it from Script (Python) With those changes, Archetypes is now quickly approaching a final and stable release. This release no more includes a CVS checkout of PortalTransforms, since a release has been made last week. Instead, you can get PortalTransforms from this location: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/archetypes/PortalTransforms-1.0.tar.gz?do... See the PortalTransforms announcement here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=326571 OTOH, this release includes ArchGenXML, which is a tool to generate Archetypes-enabled products from UML diagrams. From ArchGenXML README: ArchGenXML is a commandline utility that generates Plone applications based on the Archetypes framework from XMI (UML) and XSD (XMLSchema) files. It is tested with the XMI output from the following tools: ObjectDomain, Sybase PowerDesigner, ArgoUML, Poseidon, KDE's Umbrello.
