[Zope-Annce] Plone 1.0.2 released!

[Alexander Limi]

Oslo, Norway - The Plone Team today released Plone 1.0.2, a maintenance 
release for Plone 1.0. Plone is an open source information management 
system available in 25 languages, and has a large and active community 
supporting it.

Plone marries design and usability to Zope, the award-winning application 
server, which provides a powerful open source architecture for rich content 
and rich content services. The combination provides administrative 
workflow, multimedia, metadata, integrated search, and the industry's first 
standards-compliant templating system. Other open-source add-ons provide 
Plone with integration of documents written in Microsoft Word and 
OpenOffice, PDF generation, versioning and more.

This is planned to be the last release in the 1.0.x series, and the last 
Plone version to require CMF 1.3.1.

Work is progressing nicely on Plone 1.1 (see separate status update 
released today on the plone.org website), and the team expects to make an 
alpha release available shortly.

Release 1.0.2 is mostly bug fixes and nice-to-have additions, and is a 
recommended upgrade for people running the 1.0 releases. It also has 
updated translations, Plone now ships with 25 languages, now also including 
Arabic. No Hebrew translation of Plone yet, if you want to help out with 
adding your language to Plone, please check out the translation overview to 
get started. Most languages have been updated and polished since the 1.0.1 
release.

You can download the Windows Installer and the source tarball from our 
download pages - Mac OS X and the different Linux packages will follow as 
soon as the maintainers have time to update them.

Hope you enjoy this minor update while you're waiting for Plone 1.1. :)
