Bugs Fixed
+<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
+ - A misspelled function name which prevented the addition of
+ properties was corrected.
+=======
- TextIndexes which called methods expecting an argument failed
with a TypeError. This was fixed by extending an exception
handler.
+>>>>>>> 1.322
+<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
+ - Caused PropertySheets to restrict IDs the same way
+ ObjectManager does.
+=======
- A security issue having to do with setting permission mappings
on ZClass methods was fixed (this supersedes Hotfix-2001-05-01)
+>>>>>>> 1.322
+<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
+ - (Collector #1586) Fixed situation where the Catalog would
+ attempt to loop over a bucket as if it were a list, which
+ won't work. This was reported by Steve Alexander with a
+ patch.
+=======
- Automatic reloading of Help topics while running in debug mode
was fixed.
+>>>>>>> 1.322
+<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
+ - Corrected local role computation (Hotfix 2000-12-15)
+=======
- Fixed problem adding propertynames with spaces (Collector #2206)
+>>>>>>> 1.322
+<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
+ - The basic user folder implementation in User.py was changed
+ to use the Zope security policy machinery. see
+ http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/
+ ChangeUserFoldersToUseSecurityPolicyAPI for details.
+
+ - Trying to cut or copy with no items selected now returns a
+ nicer error message.
+
+ - A roles keyword argument was added to ZopeSecurityPolicy.validate
+ to enable callers to pass in roles as opposed to allowing the
+ machinery to figure it out for itself.
+
+ - Some product context initialization related to setting roles
+ was updated.
+
+ Zope 2.3.0 alpha 1
+
+ Features Added
+=======
- Plugged a memory leak in extensions. There are often circular
references in code generated by Python's "exec" statement but
with a small change extensions now break those references.
+>>>>>>> 1.322
+<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
+ - Python Scripts are now part of the Zope core. Big whopping
+ kudos to Evan Simpson for all of the work he has put into
+ this! Having Python Scripts in the core will allow people
+ to much more easily separate logic and presentation (and
+ get that logic out of DTML!) More information and prototype
+ documentation for Python Scripts can be found in the
+ dev.zope.org project:
+
+ http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/PythonMethods
+
+ - Added the __replaceable__ property support to ObjectManager.
+ This is currently documented only in the Wiki.
+
+ - Added unit tests for the DateTime module.
+
+ - Added new BASEPATHn and URLPATHn variables in the REQUEST
+ object, and changed Zope core DTML files to use BASEPATH1
+ instead of SCRIPT_NAME.
+
+ - Added new getId() method to SimpleItem.Item. This should
+ now be used instead of referencing 'object.id' directly,
+ as it is guaranteed to always be a method and to always
+ return the right thing regardless of how the id of the
+ object is stored internally.
+
+ - Improved Ownership controls. Now you simply choose whether
+ or not to take ownership of sub-objects when taking
+ ownership. There is no need to control implicit/explicit
+ ownership.
+
+ - Changed the Zope installation procedure so it is only
+ necessary to create one user account and that user is
+ stored in the ZODB. The user created at startup now is
+ simply a normal intial "Manager", not the "superuser".
+ It is no longer necessary to login, create an initial
+ manager, logout and log back in! Woohoo!
+
+ - Implemented the "emergency user" concept, which is the new
+ name for what was called the superuser. The emergency user
+ doesnt even exist now until you explicitly create it.
+
+ - Added new "WebDAV source view" HTTP handler, enabled by new
+ '-W' (note uppercase) switch to z2.py. This handler is *not*
+ enabled by default.
+
+ - Implemented "hookable PUT creation" (allows containers to
+ override webdav.NullResource's guess at the type of object
+ to create when PUT is done to an unknown ID).
+
+ - Added testrunner.py to the utilities directory. The testrunner
+ is a basic utility for running PyUnit based unit tests. It can
+ be used to run all tests found in the Zope tree, all test suites
+ in a given directory or in specific files. The testrunner will
+ be used to ensure that all checked in tests pass before releases
+ are made. For more information, see the docstring of the actual
+ testrunner.py module.
+
+ - The Interface scarecrow package has been checked in - more work
+ will likely be done on it before it goes into wide use. See
+ Michel's "Zope Interfaces" project on dev.zope.org for details:
+
+ http://www.zope.org/Wikis/Interfaces/FrontPage
+
+ - PyUnit has been checked into the core. Along with the testrunner,
+ this provides enough infrastructure for us to incrementally begin
+ accumulating (and running!) test suites for various parts of the
+ Zope core.
+
+ - The new security assertion support has been checked in. For
+ more information and an updated version of the "Zope security
+ for developers" guide see the project on dev.zope.org:
+
+ http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/DeclarativeSecurity
+
+
+ Bugs Fixed
+
+ - Removed some cruft in OFS/content_types.py (an old data
+ structure was being constructed but was going unused in
+ favor of a newer structure used in conjunction with the
+ mimetypes module).
+
+ - (Collector #1650)Where the underlying object does not define
+ its own '__cmp__()', comparisons of acquisition-wrapped
+ objects fall back to comparing the identities *of the
+ wrappers* . Fixed to unwrap the object (both, if needed)
+ before comparing identities.
+
+ - (Collector #1687 Products which register base classes
+ for ZClasses typically defer creating them until product
+ registration; the derived ZClass needs them to be available
+ immediately after import. Deprecated
+ 'ProductContext.registerZClass' and
+ 'ProductContext.registerBaseClass' in favor of a new function,
+ 'ZClasses.createZClassForBase' (because none of the machinery
+ needed a ProductContext instance anyway).
+
+ - (Collector #1355) Fixed overlapping HTTP POST requests in
+ ZServer which could have been corrupted. Thanks to Jeff
+ Ragsdale.
+
+ - Undid a bug fix that caused the DateTime unit tests to fail.
+
+ - Removed the requirement that an "access" file exist.
+ "access" is now only needed to create an emergency user
+ account.
+
+ - Disabled the monitor port by default because, initially,
+ there is no emergency user, and thus no password that
+ can be used to protect the port.
+
+ - Secured the hole that was patched by Hotfix_2000-12-08.
+
+ - Disallowed object IDs that end with two underscores.
+=======
- Hardened ZMI contents view against subobjects w/ flaky
'get_size' (Collector #1900).
+>>>>>>> 1.322
- Fixed OFS.CopySupport's _verifyObjectPaste to utilize the
permission stored in the metatype registry, if available
