Thanks to some great feedback from the Zope community, I'm pleased to
announce Site Summary 1.2.1

http://www.zope.org/Members/edmundd/SiteSummary

Site Summary allows you to create RSS 0.91 channel files suitable for
my.netscape.com and others.  You can also import RSS files from other
sources (e.g. freshmeat.net), allowing you to present this content on
your own site.

Changes for this release:

  Version 1.2.1

    * import now removes previous site entries

    * items now named more sensibly on import

    * added "Contents" tab which allows normal folderish
      operations. This means you can now add DTML methods into your
      object to customize it, among other things!

    * content-type set to "text/xml"

    * new method: "entries": returns a list of entry objects
      in the summary, means that implementations don't have to do
      completely different things to discover this dependent on the
      value of meta_index.

    * new method: "htmlPreview" - DTML method provides a default
      rendering, you can use this in your own sites

    * added example "exampleSiteSummary.zexp" which is already populated
      and includes a DTML method to provide a simple example rendering

    * "Add new" now no longer a tab, but a button on the "Entries" tab

  Version 1.2

    * Fixed an important bug which meant that you were
      previously unable to set the image on a per-instance basis.
