[Zope] CMF 1.6.0-beta released

[Jens Vagelpohl]

The CMF developer community and Zope Corporation are pleased to announce
the release of version 1.6.0-beta of the Zope Content Management
Framework (CMF). This release is intended for testing purposes only;  we
do not recommend deploying it to production servers.  The final release
of version 1.6.0 is planned for Sunday, February 26 2006.

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.

What's new in this release?

   The CMF 1.6 release series acts as an intermediary between the stable
   1.5 series and the 2.0 feature release. It allows developers an easy
   upgrade path from 1.5 and the ability to take advantage of one of the
   most interesting features from the upcoming major feature release,
   GenericSetup.
