Greetings Zopeheads. After much sweat and toil and 4 rewrites, we are pleased to announce the release of ZCatalog, the Zope Cataloging and Searching Product, version 1.0.0 alpha. The Catalog can be found at: http://www.zope.org/Download/ZCatalog We recommend you read the ZCatalog Tutorial, written by Mike Pelletier (Note that 'Mike' Pelletier is a completely different person than 'Michel' Pelletier, which is me) which is available on the web at the above location. ZCatalog requires Zope 2.0.0alpha3. It will not work with any previous versions of Zope. Remember, this is *alpha* software. It has limitations, and there are several optimizations/features we have planed for it which are not included in this release. We would, however, like the tired to be well kicked. Please report any bugs you find related to ZCatalog to the Collector: http://www.zope.org/Collector We hope you find some interesting things to do with the Catalog! -Michel
