Hi zopistats

The second public release of EpozDocument is available.

What's the EpozDocument ?

EpozDocument is just a pure content object you can edit the content with the
Maik Jablonski's Epoz widget.

What else ?
* An EpozDocument is CatalogPathAware. Just create a ZCatalog with the
appropriate indexes (see the included doc)
* Epoz is not enough, EpozDocument objects are External Editor aware. Use
your favorite HTML editor.
* EpozDocuments are published on their own URL through an implicit or
explicit template (ZPT/DTML/Script...).
* Optionnaly edit in the Epoz widget with your favorite CSS
* An secured Epoz plugin toolbox to browse your objects and insert
absolute/relative links.
* A really fully documented Product :-)

What is EpozDocument good for ?

Plone/CMF/CPS (...) is some overkill for your small/medium sized site ?
People that feed content are HTML dummy ? You think about updating old
DTML/ZPT sites with no CM high level frameworks, and are tired of editing
the content in File/DTML/ZPT objects ?
You may consider using EpozDocument in those cases, and perhaps others.

Requirements :

Developed and tested with Zope 2.6.2. Requires of course Epoz and an Epoz
compatible browser.

Warning :

The "user.has_permission(...)" bug of Zope 2.6.1 may let the user browse
with the plugin toolbox in places he should not be allowed to see. This is
NOT an EpozDocument bug. If someone can provide me a workaround for this...

This version of EpozDocument should be considered as alpha. The potential
bugs won't screw your content anyway, and you may consider using it on
production sites like I do.

EpozDocument is compliant with Python 2.2

EpozDocument is provided under the terms of the ZPL.

Any feedback welcome.
