[Zope-CMF] CMF 1.3.1 beta 1 released

[Tres Seaver]

Zope Corporation is pleased to announce the first beta release of
version 1.3.1 of the Zope Content Management Framework.  This release
consists primarily of bug fixes for version 1.3, released in August,
2002.  It is a "release candidate";  the final release will follow in
a week, presuming no "showstopper" bugs are found.

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.  As packaged, the
    CMF generates a site much like the Zope.org site.  The CMF is
    intended to be easily customizable, in terms of both the
    types of content used and the policies and services it
    provides.

New Features in 1.3.1beta1

    - Implemented PUT and GET support to CMFCalendar.Event for
      editing via FTP/WebDAV (thanks to Sidnei da Silva).

Bug Fixes in 1.3.1beta1

    - Fixed incorrect security declaration in File.py (Collector #91).

    - Remove over-helpful default argument values in
      'CMFDefault.DefaultDublinCoreImpl._editMetadata'.  Now, if
      called without a value for an argument, the method will not
      change that value.  Collector #10.

    - Remove workaround in CMFCore.utils for recognizing links in
      StructuredText:  STX in CMF content should now recognize exactly
      the same links as the underlying Zope.  Note that we *do* still
      provide a customized HTML class, to permit embedding images
      without generating the "whole" page.  Collector #6.

    - Remove bizarre, shadowing import of CMFCore.utils as 'utils'
      into package namespace of CMFDefault;  instead, import specific
      names from that package directly (thanks to Paul Winkler for
      pointing out the incongruity).

    - Fix (theoretical) bug in CMFCore.DirectoryView which allowed
      non-registered directories to slip through (UI didn't exercise
      it).

    - Merge Christian Theune's fix for funky default argument values on
      CMFCalendar.Event's constructor and edit methods (collector #76).

    - FSPageTemplates overwrote a user-generated 'Content-Type' header.
      We now check to make sure a Content-Type header is not already set
      before allowing a page template to set its own.

    - Fixed bugs around 'addActionProvider' in ActionsTool (Collector
      #42).

    - Fixed race condition in lazy initialization of filesystem-based
      skin methods;  the bug led to odd name errors on 'context' for
      FSPythonScripts (Collector #37).

    - Removed crufty 'isDesktop' stuff from 'folder_factories' and
      'folder_contents' methods.

    - Fixed HTML-invalidating call to 'filterCookie' in
      'folder_contents'.
    
    - Fixed unclosed 'tr' element  in ZPT version of 'folder_edit_form'
      (Collector #57).

    - Fixed CalendarTool to use portal_type and not Type to search for
      events in the catalog (Collector #28, thanks to Heimo Laukkanen
      for the report).

    - Fixed a bug in CalendarTool where events were not showing on the
      last day of the month.
