The CMF developer community is hereby announcing the release of CMF
version 2.1.0-beta. The CMF 2.1 series will be used as the foundation
for the Plone 3.0 release, which will see its first beta over the next
few days as well.

What is the CMF?

   The Zope Content Management Framework provides a set of services and
   content objects useful for building highly dynamic, content-oriented
   portal sites. The CMF provides the foundation for popular software
   packages such as Plone. It is intended to be easily customizable, in
   terms of both the types of content used and the policies and services
   it provides.

What has changed since the last release?

   IMPORTANT NOTE:

     If you upgrade an existing CMF instance to CMF 2.1, please see
     INSTALL.txt for instructions on how to run a separate upgrade  
script.

   New Features

     - CMFCalendar: Zope3 style browser views are now used by default.
       An additional setup profile allows you to hook up the oldstyle  
skins and
       to make customizations TTW.

     - DirectoryView: Added 'registerDirectory' ZCML directive.
       Using the old registerDirectory method in __init__.py is now  
deprecated.
       See zcml.IRegisterDirectoryDirective for details.

     - DirectoryView: Added support for non-product packages.
       This introduces new registry keys. Old registry keys stored in
       persistent DirectoryView objects are updated on the fly.
       (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/467)

     - Document: Added two new methods for safety belt handling.

     - setup handlers: Improved properties handler.
       It now works with properties using a default_charset other  
than UTF-8.

     - Merged patches from Martin Aspeli to enable generating events  
before
       and after DCWorkflow transitions, and in the 'notify' methods  
of the
       workflow tool (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/461).

   Bug Fixes

     - CMFUid.UniqueIdHandlerTool: Touching the internal UID value on a
       content item will not cause reindexing all indices anymore,  
only the
       specific UID index will be touched.
       (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/469)

     - CMFCore.MembershipTool: Fixed inconsistent behavior where  
member lookup
       would take all user folders up to the Zope root into account  
whereas
       member area creation would not.

     - CMFCore.MembershipTool/CMFDefault.MembershipTool: when using an
       object without a __nonzero__ but with a __len__ (ala
       CMFBTreeFolder) as a member folder, the createMemberArea method
       would believe there was no members folder if the folder was
       empty, and so would fail (change "not membersfolder" to
       "membersfolder is not None") .

     - CMFDefault.File and CMFDefault.Image: Restored ZMI Cache tab  
which was
       lost in CMF 1.6.

     - CMFCore.DynamicType: Fixed behaviour regarding default view.
       DynamicType was making it impossible to use a Zope3-style
       default view for CMF content types.
       (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/459)

   Others

     - Tool lookup and registration is now done "the Zope 3 way" as  
utilities.
       Please see docs/ToolsAreUtilities.txt for some developer notes.

     - CMFCore utils: Marked 'minimalpath' and 'expandpath' as  
deprecated.

     - The CMF now depends on Zope 2.10.2 or higher.
