Five 0.1 released (Zope 3 in Zope 2)

Hot on the heels of the Zope X3 3.0.0b2 release, the Five team has released Five 0.1, the first public release of Five. Five is a Zope 2 product that allows you to use Zope 3 technologies in Zope 2, today.

Five allows you to use the following Zope 3 technologies in Zope 2:

  • Zope 3 interfaces
  • adapters
  • pages (views), including skins and layers
  • ZCML, including things like Zope 2 security declarations from ZCML

It is possible to add Zope 3 style views to your own Zope 2 objects, or to existing ones, even normal Folders! See here for a more extensive list of Five features.

Five 0.1 allows you to use Zope X3 3.0.0b2 technologies in a straight Zope 2.7 installation. See Five's INSTALL.txt for more information on how to set it up.
