    events which have occurred on the zope-announce mailing list and

    Any opinions contained in the Zope Weekly News are those of the

    they throw in email (supported by the also exceptional WorldPilot
    package, or any IMAP client) and a mailing list (managed by
    MailMan), lagniappe.  Try free for two weeks.

Updates

  * Software Product: GenericUserFolder (GUF), by Stuart Bishop

    GUF has been revved up to 1.2.2.  This is strictly a bug-fix
    release, and deals with all reported bugs.  GUF is a tool for
    rolling your own UserFolder (the object which authenticates users
    of a Zope server).

  * Software Product: LDAP authentication adapter product, by "rossl"

    Version 0.98.3 has been released.  This release includes changes
    proposed by LDAPUserFolder users, and is being called
    "non-urgent".  If you intend to upgrade, please read the product
    page carefully.  This product makes it possible to authenticate
    Zope users using an external LDAP database.

  * Software Product: Wide String support for ZPublisher, by "htrd"

    The wstring package has been updated to v0.2.  This package is
    actually a set of patches to Zope to make it support wide strings.
    This update works with Zope 2.1.6.

Zope.org items

  * How-To: Postmortem Debugging In Zope, by Chris McDonough

    This How-To provides a twist on Michel Pelletier's The Debugger Is
    Your Friend document.  Using the postmortem feature of the pdb,
    you can examine the state of your server at the point where the
    last exception occurred.  This can be very handy when you don't
    know why an exception is being thrown.

  * Tip: Zope and regular content via ProxyPass, by "bfordham"

    This tip describes how to serve the root of a site from a Zope
    server, but serve specific portions of the site via Apache.

  * News Item: New Zope.org feature: Author feedback, by "MikeP"

    Now you can send feedback to the author of any content on
    Zope.org. There is a link to this feature at the bottom of each
    appropriate page.
