-
- Zope 2.4 beta 2
-
- Bugs fixed
-
- - Some of the import shenanigans in ZService.py were still
- trying to load Python 1.5 versions of support dlls for running
- as a service under win32 (meaning you effectively couldn't).
-
- - Collector #2335: older products like GadflyDA that did not
- use registerClass() were registered but their visibility
- flag has not been set to Global. So these products did not
- appear in the ZMF.
-
-
- Zope 2.4 beta 1
-
- Features Added
-
- - Added a new lesson to the Zope tutorial which shows how to
- insert data into a relational database.
-
- - Made the meta-type in the upper-left corner of ZClass instances'
- management interface into a link to the ZClass definition.
-
- - Collector #2316: introduced new environment variable ZSYSLOG_FACILITY
- to override the default syslog facility 'user'
-
- Bugs fixed
-
- - Updated the Zope tutorial a bit. Now it references the Zope
- Book and the online help's DTML reference. Replaced ZopeTime
- examples with DateTime in lesson 9.
-
- - The manage_afterClone hook was called too early for copied objects,
- before the cloned object was reattached to its context. This
- caused problems with CatalogAware objects reindexing themselves
- on copy.
-
- - Fixed a situation that could slow down lazy processing of sorted
- search results.
-
- - Product import ordering has been changed. Now, the total set of
- all Products are initialized in ascending alphabetical order by
- product name, regardless of whether an INSTANCE_HOME exists.
- If two products with the same name exist in both SOFTWARE_HOME
- and INSTANCE_HOME, the order in which they appear in
- Application.Products.__path__ determines whether they
- are loaded first or second.
-
- - Collector #2318: html_quote function re-aliased into
- DT_Util so as not to break existing user code.
-
- - Corrections to the code that adds interface information to the
- meta type registry.
-
- - Collector #2274: fixed typo in Transaction.py. Made Connection.py
- a bit more noisy in case of failure
-
- - Collector #2273: fixed bug in STXNG (unable to handle :img:
- commands with absolute URLs)
-
- - Collector #2272: fixed problem in Transaction.py (Objects
- with id==None could not print themselves)
-
- - fixed Python module import problems causing XML export/import
- too be completely broken
-
- - Collector #2270: fixed import problem when $INSTANCE_HOME
- was set
-
- - Collector #2269: default script for PythonScript is no longer
- compiled during installation
-
- - Updated to zlib 1.1.3.
-
- - fixed parenthesis handling for TextIndex queries
-
- - Collector #2283: PersistentMapping class keys() method now returns
- a *copy* of the cached keys list instead of the cached list of
- keys itself. This prevents mutation of the list.
-
- - DateTime constructor now accepts ISO 8601 compliant dates
-
- - Collector #2254: added hook for webdav/ftp MKCOL
-
- - Collector #2247: put values of properties into CDATA section to
- prevent non XML compliant documents to be sent to a webdav client.
-
- - Collector #2287: fixed missing import of 'render_blocks' in
- SendMailTag.py
-
- - Collector #2289: leading \n\r inside messageText broke
- mail headers
-
- - Collector #2290: better handling of subject header in Mailhost.py
-
- - Collector #2291: fixed cookie path in Zope Version Control
-
- - Collector #2286: Could not create ZClasses. coptimizations.c
- had been corrected erroneously. Fixed.
-
- - It was discovered that the implicit names of certain DTMLMethods
- were ambiguous, making security assertions for them unpredictable.
- Code was added to detect the condition and correct it in the
- Zope core. The affected DTML methods did not pose a security risk.
- Instead, most were overprotective.
-
- - "print" with a trailing comma (to avoid a newline) caused
- spurious errors in Python Scripts. It turned out the compiler
- module was in error. Fixed.
-
- - Collector #2306: Fixed broken glossary of Zope Tutorial
-
- - Collector #2305: A comma inside an optional parameter of the
- parameter string broke the ZScriptHTML_tryParams function of
- PythonScripts.
-
- - Restored performance of security checks in DTML and
- Scripts (Python) by replacing read guards with function calls to
- guarded_getattr() and guarded_getitem() of ZopeGuards.
-
- - Restricted the target of PythonScript print statements.
-
- - Python 2.1 reopened the old "AttributeError: __call__" bug.
- Checked in a fix that should finally solve it correctly.
-
- Zope 2.4 alpha 1
-
- Features Added
-
- - Zope now requires Python 2.1. See the Zope 2.4 migration
- document for details:
-
- http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.4.0/Zope24MigrationGuide.html
-
- - The 'Authenticated' role has been added as one of Zope's
- standard roles. A user's possession of this role indicates
- that he or she has been authenticated by the Zope security
- machinery. It is an implicit role, and cannot be provided to
- users within the user management screens or the local roles
- management screens. It is provided to all authenticated users.
- Another way to think of the 'Authenticated' role is that
- it is possessed by all users *except* the Anonymous User.
-
- - A module 'requestprofiler.py' is now part of the utilities
- directory. When run from the command line, this utility
- allows you to generate profiling information from Zope's
- detailed request log (the "-M" log).
-
- - Restricted code can import AccessControl.getSecurityManager,
- and use 'validate', 'validateValue', 'checkPermission',
- 'getUser', and 'calledByExecutable'.
-
- - Zope's WebDAV support now includes exclusive write locking.
-
- - Data.fs.in index_html now shows zope_quick_start instead
- of old, inaccurate content.
-
- - Changed index_html, standard_html_header, standard_html_footer,
- and standard_error_message in Data.fs.in to use "new" DTML syntax
- (as opposed to SSI-style syntax).
-
- - Added check for 'FORCE_PRODUCT_LOAD' environ var to bits which
- try to detect whether we're a ZEO client or not in order not to
- skip product-loading tasks. This has the consequence that a ZEO
- client with the "ZEO_CLIENT" env var set will cause product
- loading tasks to occur iff his "FORCE_PRODUCT_LOAD" environment
- var is set as well.
-
- - Further optimizations in the lexicon of the Catalog as well
- as the final merge code integration for Text indexes. This
- should reduce the bloat when things are reindexed.
-
- - StructuredText: old StructuredText replaces by StructuredTextNG.
- Added support for locale settings. Several bugfixes and code
- cleanup.
-
- - Image and File objects now support the HTTP Range and If-Range
- headers, enabeling partial downloads of such objects. This can be
- used by clients to restart a broken download. Downloads of these
- objects through FTP can also be restarted.
-
- - Update of Medusa tree to latest version
-
- - If an INSTANCE_HOME is defined and has a 'lib/python'
- subdirectory, it will be added to the front of the Python path.
-
- - DTML-In and DTML-Tree now have optional "prefix" attributes
- that can be used to make friendlier tag variable names.
-
- - Added product reloading capability, formerly provided by
- the "Refresh" product. This enables developers to see the
- effect of changes to their products without restarting Zope.
-
- - Added new 'sequence' module for underscore namespace to provide
- extended sorting functionality for sequence (implements
- ExtendedDTMLSorting proposal)
-
- - Fixed a long-standing bug in FileStorage that made it so
- versions were only partially committed.
-
- - Rewrote the complete indexing infrastructure according
- to the DropinIndex proposal
- (see lib/python/Products/PlugginIndexes/README.txt for
- detailed informations).
-
- - Adopted ZCatalog to new indexing infrastructure.
-
- - added text() method to HTTPRequest object to provide a plain
- text representation of the request (Collector #2264)
-
- Bugs Fixed
-
- - TextIndexes which called methods expecting an argument failed
- with a TypeError. This was fixed by extending an exception
- handler.
-
- - A security issue having to do with setting permission mappings
- on ZClass methods was fixed (this supersedes Hotfix-2001-05-01)
-
- - Automatic reloading of Help topics while running in debug mode
- was fixed.
-
- - Fixed problem adding propertynames with spaces (Collector #2206)
-
- - 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.
-
- - Hardened ZMI contents view against subobjects w/ flaky
- 'get_size' (Collector #1900).
-
- - Fixed OFS.CopySupport's _verifyObjectPaste to utilize the
- permission stored in the metatype registry, if available
- (Collector #1975)
-
- - Fixed a long-standing bug in FileStorage that made it so
- versions were only partially committed.
