I know this has been asked before, but I need a definite answer before we can pick ZOPE as our platform of choice for a project.
One of the major requirements is to be able to view history for files (docs, images, etc), and be able to view the actual file @ any point in the history. Basically, we need "history" functionality that ZOPE currently provides for such objects as Scripts, DTML Methods, etc. Note that Zope provides few control over the deletion of old versions/histories.
When you need history records arbitrary long (for a single instance), then you can never pack the ZODB and never get rid of any old version. When this is not a problem for you, then the basic functions (to access an objects history) are available for any object. However, visualization of the differences can easily been implemented for a small set of specialized objects. Dieter
