Zope Catchup

Following is a bunch of notes I made for myself and team-mates in June of 2004 as a catchup for what had been going on in the Zope 2 world and what was coming up with Zope 3...

A lot seems to be going on in the Zope camp, but nothing has really happened (if you know what I mean). Zope 3 is still not out, and seems a long way off still. The roadmap document shows that plans are afoot to release two further versions of 2.x that will progressively incorporate Zope 3 features/philiosphy, we must all read of this... http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/RoadMap

Zope 3 will eventually be compatable with ver2 products following the use of some migration tools (well thats what they claim anyway). Zope X3 is what they are calling the bridging releases of Zope that will incorporate parts of both 2.x and 3.0, these will NOT be backward compatable, and are intended to provide an environment where developers can 'experiment'.

Read the FAQ !!!

Zope 3 features of note:

DTML is sticking around (version 2)
Python version 2.3 will probably be required
The CMF will not work under Z3, its features

are all part of core ver3 anyway so that makes the seperat product redundant

Python scripts (through-the-web) will be supported
Z Catalog will be replace by Object Hub
User management gets a revamp, groups will be supported
XML support is coming along

Zope 2.7 is the current production release (we run 2.5 on our dev machine at the moment). Following is a snapshot of Zope developments and events over the last year or so Please add any others you find that seem important.

Events/Releases

ZODB 3.3 alpha2

"Jeremy announced that an alpha of the big-new ZODB changes is available. This is really hard work that he and ZC are doing, which will pave the way for several architectural projects in the future. Also, the MVCC work, to eliminate read conflicts, will have a big impact on large-scale sites. Congrats to Jeremy, Jim, and the others working on this." http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-announce/2004-January/001324.html
