CMF 2.1.0-beta (2007/03/09)

If you upgrade an existing CMF instance to CMF 2.1, please see INSTALL.txt for instructions on how to run a separate upgrade script.

CMFCalendar: Zope3 style browser views are now used by default. An additional setup profile allows you to hook up the oldstyle skins and to make customizations TTW.
DirectoryView: Added registerDirectory ZCML directive. Using the old registerDirectory method in __init__.py is now deprecated. See zcml.IRegisterDirectoryDirective for details.
DirectoryView: Added support for non-product packages. This introduces new registry keys. Old registry keys stored in persistent DirectoryView objects are updated on the fly. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/467)
Document: Added two new methods for safety belt handling.
setup handlers: Improved properties handler. It now works with properties using a default_charset other than UTF-8.
Merged patches from Martin Aspeli to enable generating events before and after DCWorkflow transitions, and in the notify methods of the workflow tool (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/461).

CMFUid.UniqueIdHandlerTool: Touching the internal UID value on a content item will not cause reindexing all indices anymore, only the specific UID index will be touched. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/469)
CMFCore.MembershipTool: Fixed inconsistent behavior where member lookup would take all user folders up to the Zope root into account whereas member area creation would not.
CMFCore.MembershipTool/CMFDefault.MembershipTool: when using an object without a __nonzero__ but with a __len__ (ala CMFBTreeFolder) as a member folder, the createMemberArea method would believe there was no members folder if the folder was empty, and so would fail (change "not membersfolder" to "membersfolder is not None") .
CMFDefault.File and CMFDefault.Image: Restored ZMI Cache tab which was lost in CMF 1.6.
CMFCore.DynamicType: Fixed behaviour regarding default view. DynamicType was making it impossible to use a Zope3-style default view for CMF content types. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/459)

Tool lookup and registration is now done "the Zope 3 way" as utilities. Please see docs/ToolsAreUtilities.txt for some developer notes.
CMFCore utils: Marked minimalpath and expandpath as deprecated.
The CMF now depends on Zope 2.10.2 or higher.

WorkflowTool: Added the IConfigurableWorkflowTool interface. This change includes the new getDefaultChain and listChainOverrides methods and an improved setChainForPortalTypes method. The import handler now supports the remove attribute for removing overrides. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/457)
CMFCore.CachingPolicyManager: Implemented the old OFS.Cache.CacheManager API. Now objects other than CMF content or CMF templates can have their caching headers set by the caching policy manager with the same fine-grained control. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/408)
testing: Added test layers for setting up ZCML.
CMFDefault formlib: Added zope.formlib support. This includes some CMF specific base classes and an EmailLine field.
browser views: Added some zope.formlib based forms.
CMFDefault utils: Added checkEmailAddress function.
Added CMFCore.FSRestMethod: ReST equivalent of FSSTXMethod.
CMFCore.FSSTXMethod: Modernized, added tests, made customization possible (now renders via ZPT by default, using main_template).
Portal: Added email_charset property.
CMFDefault utils: Added makeEmail function.
CMFDefault.Image and CMFDefault.File: Overridden index_html methods add Cache Policy Manager-awareness and thus bring these implementations in line with CMFCore.FSFile and CMFCore.FSImage (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/454)

CMFCore.CachingPolicyManager: Prevent firing of caching policies for templates (DTML or ZPT) that are rendered in-line (without a separate request) while rendering the requested content item's view. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/456)
CMFDefault RegistrationTool: Fixed too restrictive email checking. The new checkEmailAddress function is now used.
Fixed test breakage induced by use of Z3 pagetemplates in Zope 2.10+.
CMFDefault skins: Fixed encoding issues in welcome and reminder emails. password_email and registered_email now encode their return value correctly, using email_charset and the new makeEmail function.

CMFDefault utils: Added getBrowserCharset function. Returns the charset preferred by the browser. Strings encoded with this charset are decoded correctly by Five.browser.decode.processInputs.
Content: Added IFactory utilities for all content classes. They are now used by default instead of the old constructor methods.
FactoryTypeInformation: Added support for Zope3 style factories. If the product property of a type info instance is empty the factory property is interpreted as an IFactory name.

CMFCore.ActionInformation: don't use a fixed set of properties for ActionInformation. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/232/)
CMFCore.CatalogTool: Use current executable's proxy roles, if any, in place of user's roles when computing allowedRolesAndUsers for a query. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/380)

skins: Changed encoding of translated portal_status_messages. Now getBrowserCharset is used to play nice with Five forms. Customized setRedirect and getMainGlobals scripts have to be updated.
FSFile: Added registration for txt extension.
Profiles: All profiles are now registered by ZCML.
ZClasses: Removed unmaintained support for ZClasses. Marked the initializeBases* methods as deprecated.
Content: All content classes are now registered by ZCML. ContentInit is still used to register oldstyle constructors.
Favorite: Added handleFavoriteAddedEvent subscriber. This replaces the manage_afterAdd hook and some code in addFavorite.
CMFCatalogAware: Added handleObjectEvent subscriber. This replaces the deprecated manage_afterAdd, manage_afterClone and manage_beforeDelete hooks.
setup handlers: Removed support for CMF 1.5 CMFSetup profiles.
