[Zope3-dev] Zope X3.1.0 Release TODO list

[Stephan Richter]

Hello everyone,

I have started preparing the Zope X3.1.0 release. We hope to be in the beta 
phase of this release in January. Some exciting new features and 
restructuring include:

- The new pluggable authentication service including some very nice plugins
- Sources, which will be a replacement for vocabularies
- APIdoc can now interpret your specific 3rd party prackage as well.
- More CA simplifications: BrowserMenu, Presentation, and Service Service are 
gone.
- New Message implementation in C.

However, we are not done with the features nor fixing the bugs. Here is a list 
of items that have to be completed, before I will make a branch. Please let 
me know, if I forgot soemthing.

  o Presentation components are now just adapters
  o Services will be utilities

- Support for iterable sources

- Issue 292: Add factory to browser:resource directive 

- Issue 295: Sort out defaultView 

- Issue 297: Using class as localUtility 

- Issue 309: <schemadisplay> should support <widget>



Miscellaneous
-------------
