[Zope-Annce] ExternalEditor 0.6 Released

[Casey Duncan]

I'm pleased to announce the release of ExternalEditor 0.6. Here's what's
new:

- External editor now accepts the path to the object to edit directly,
rather than only working via traversal. This makes it easy to
programmatically invoke external editor.

- A plugin mechanism was added to the helper application (on Windows) for
enhanced integration with supported applications. Plugins for HomeSite and
Photoshop are included with the Windows helper application.

- Vanquished "Invalid File Descriptor" errors on Windows.

- Added a workaround for non-compliant SSL servers, trapping "EOF occurred
in violation of protocol" errors silently.

- Windows helper app now built with Python 2.2.2 and PythonWin 148.

- Fixed a bug in the unlock retry code.

What is it?

  External editor is a new way to edit through the web. Instead of crappy
  textareas and kludgy protocols, External editor lets you use the editor of
  your choice directly from your browser.

  Once configured you can click on the edit icon in the ZMI and use your
  favorite client side applications to edit your Zope objects. Works with
  both text and binary data. Works with any browser that supports helper
  applications.

  Enjoy!
