[Zope] Product release: ExtFile/ExtImage 0.91

[Heine, Gregor]

Version 0.91 of the ExtFile/ExtImage Software Product has just been
released.

The ExtFile and  ExtImage Products store large files in an external
file-repository and are able to display icons for different MIME-Types. The
ExtImage Product additionally creates preview-thumbnails from images and
displays them.
ExtFile and ExtImage basically work like the Zope File and Image products
but the (binary) file is not stored inside the ZODB, but in an external
file-repository. Only meta data (like title and description) are stored in
the ZODB. This prevents the Database swelling up quickly, when many large
files are uploaded and thus increasing database performance. 
Version 0.91 fixes an important security issue, that allowed read access to
any file in the local filesystem (readeable for the UID of the zope
process).
