ZTK version numbering and Zope 2.12
Hi, - What is the current version of ZTK? 1.0? 1.0-something? 3.5? Note that docs.zope.org/zopetoolkit talks about 3.5. - What is the canonical location of a ZTK KGS? I'm locking for a buildout [versions] block in particular. - What is the plan for Zope 2.12 final? Is it going to rely on some release of the ZTK, or just its own mix of versions?

To my knowledge the plan was to name the first ZTK release 1.0, to avoid the confusion of it not being a simple successor of Zope 3. If Stephan and others are interested in it, they might make a Zope 3.5 release, which could be based on the ZTK 1.0 release. It would probably include more packages or even all packages found in the Zope 3.4 release.

It's all still pre-alpha work in progress. The most current working area can be found at: http://svn.zope.org/zopetoolkit/branches/jim-kgs/kgs/ztk.cfg

Zope 2.12 defines its own mix of versions, which is not the ZTK 1.0 release. It is by now in late beta mode and won't be updated anymore to follow all the major refactorings happening in the Zope packages. The 2.12 KGS for the most current release can be found at http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.12.0b4/versions.cfg Zope 2.13 uses the latest trunks of all packages and it makes some sense to base it on a ZTK 1.0 release should that ever happen ;) It would have been nice to use a shared KGS definition for the zope.* packages used by Zope 2, but the release timelines and progress being made where just too different to make that an option for 2.12.

1.0. It's not released yet though. I've corrected some of that documentation.

As Hanno said, this is still in progress. I hope it gets merged to trunk soon so we can properly document it. Right now this is non-documented stuff you "just have to know", and that's against the philosophy of the steering group.

I don't know. :) Regards, Martijn
