New versions of Ape_, BTreeFolder2_, CompositePage_, CookieCrumbler_, TCPWatch_, and VerboseSecurity_ were released today. Most of these are bugfix releases, except for CompositePage, which has gone through tremendous changes, and VerboseSecurity, which now requires Zope 2.7. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to keep working on these products.

Five project (Zope 3 in Zope 2) now fully underway
by Martijn Faassen 16 Jun '04

16 Jun '04

Hi everybody, I am very happy to announce the Five project, a Zope 2 product that allows you to integrate Zope 3 technologies into Zope 2, today. What is Five? ============= Five is a Zope 2 product that integrates Zope 3 functionality into Zope 2. Five right now allows you to use the following Zope 3 technologies in Zope 2: * Zope 3 interfaces * adapters * pages (views), including skins and layers. * ZCML It is possible to add Zope 3 style views to your own Zope 2 objects, or to existing ones, even normal Folders! Five works with a straight Zope 2.7 installation, as long as Zope 3 has been installed. See Five's INSTALL.txt for more information on how to set it up. We're in the process of evaluating lots more Zope 3 technologies for integration into Zope 2. This is the right moment for interested Zope 2 and Zope 3 developers to jump in. We're looking for cooperation between different Zope 2 projects so that this can be a foundational system for us all. Where to find it? ================== Five is kindly hosted on codespeak.net, and is part of the larger "Zope 3 Base" project that offers an approachable area for developers of Zope 3 related software. Five has a mailing list: http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/z3-five Five is hosted in a subversion repository on codespeak.net. You can browse this on the web here: http://codespeak.net/svn/z3/Five/ You can check out Five using the following subversion command: svn co http://codespeak.net/svn/z3/Five/trunk Five There's also a checkins mailing list for the Z3 project, here: http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/z3-checkins If you want checkin access, please join the z3-five mailing list and ask us there. We hope to hear from you!

[Ann] CacheControlled SQL Methods (CCSQLMethods) 0.2
by Dieter Maurer 13 Jun '04

13 Jun '04

Z SQL methods, Zope's abstraction of SQL queries or commands, support caching of results. They use non-persistent attributes to maintain the cache. However, such attributes are thread local. Therefore, it is very difficult to flush the cache when the application knows about the invalidation of potentially cached information. 'CCSQLMethods' use a cache shared by all threads that can be managed by any of the threads. They provide for fine grained cache control. New in version 0.2: * "flushCache" now works reliably across independant ZEO client processes. Attention: "flushCacheEntry" still does not! * a new ("FSZSQLMethod" derived) filesystem based variant of "CCSQLMethods" * no longer a location dependancy on Z SQL Methods -- you can install "CCSQLMethods" in any products directory More information and download: <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/CCSQLMethods.html> -- Dieter

ZODB 3.2.2 beta 1 released
by Tim Peters 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

[this is a resend using a different account; the first attempt didn't appear to arrive anywhere] I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.2.2 beta 1. This is a bugfix release for the ZODB 3.2 line, and will be the version of ZODB released with Zope 2.7.1b2. The ZODB 3.2.2b1 release requires Python 2.3.3 or later. The ZODB 3.2 line supports Zope 2 only; Zope 3 requires ZODB 3.3. You can download a source tarball or Windows installer from: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2 The changes since ZODB 3.2.1 consist of bugfixes, to BTrees, parts of ZODB proper, and support tools. See the news file for details: http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2/NEWS Important notes about Berkeley-based storages: Support for the experimental Berkeley-based storages has been dropped: they created more problems than the community has been able to fix, and nobody has done work on them for many months. Unfortunately, removing the code for BDBFullStorage and BDBMinimalStorage is also delicate, and it still exists in this release. We recommend not using it; the Berkeley code has already been removed from the ZODB 3.3 line. Note too that if you don't have "the right" version of Sleepycat Berkeley DB installed on your system, ZODB's test suite may fail-- or even segfault --as a result. This isn't an issue on Windows, because Python on Windows includes a suitable Sleepycat release (4.1.25). The problem appears most likely to occur on Linux systems with a bsddb from the later 4.2 line. While there's no resource to work on Berkeley problems, I'll at least try to disable the Berkeley tests for ZODB 3.2.2 final.

I just released a separate distribution of zope.interface for people that want interfaces but not the rest of Zope; this was or particular interest to the Twisted folks.
