Zope Changes
This file contains change information for the current Zope release.
Change information for previous versions of Zope can be found in the
file HISTORY.txt.
- WebDAV: Zope escaped nested object properties derived from
internal dav__* functions in PropertySheets.py although they
are considered to be safe and do not need any escaping. This
caused Zope to be completely incomplete with Windows XP. Fixed !
- WebDAV: '(' and ')' are now allowed in Ids for Zope objects.
This is needed when one tries to duplicate files using cut&paste
through Microsoft webfolders.
- Adding new indexes to the ZCatalog using the ZMI did not
work properly with disabled Javascript.
- STXNG: fixed wrong conversion of literals starting and
ending with underlines. Also added complete reworked
testsuite
- Zope installation updated from pre-2.4 installation did
not show the WebDAV LockManager entry in the Control Panel.
- Corrected case where the accelerated security in DTMLMethod
could be removed twice, causing a KeyError (successive removals
do not complain). Steve Alexander provided a better patch,
now incorporated.
- Fixed a BTree storage leak.
Zope 2.4.2
- repaired unit tests for documenttemplate, datetime, and
zcatalog; removed a glitch in one test which was causing
spurious failures in others. all unit tests pass!
- Zope Find did not find objects located within ZClass
objects. Thanks to Anthony Baxter for fixing this.
- The xml escaping logic for DAV properties failed to escape
special xml characters in certain cases. The xml generation
of properties for PROPFIND requests also failed for
properties of type 'tokens' that contained non-string items.
- Lock-null resources did not support the PROPFIND DAV command
per RFC 2518, which caused some clients (Dreamweaver for
one) to be unable to create new objects via WebDAV. Thanks
to Terry Kerr for working this out.
- "Not Found" errors due to missing docstrings on objects made
it difficult to figure out the true cause of the error. The
handling of missing docstrings has been changed so that the
reason for the "Not Found" is clear whether or not the
server is running in debug mode.
- DebugLogger, the machinery which writes messages for "detailed"
(aka "Big M") log files now writes out a "U" message on system
startup.
- queries for the PathIndex can now specified as tuple (path,level).
the level parameter inside a query overrides the optional
'level' parameter for a complete search request.
- XXBucket.values() returned the keys instead of the values.
- Collector #420, 1326, 2509, and maybe others: manage_workspace
redirected to index_html when no authentication credentials
were presented by the user. Thanks to < Dominique.Dutoit
at cec.eu.int > for the correction.
- Collector #2548: ComputedAttribute extension was not included in
setup.py.
- Fixed dtml-in online help documentation to include
information about sort_exp and reverse_expr attributes.
- Fixed dtml-sqlvar, dtml-sqltest, and dtml-sqlgroup online
help documentation to better explain the difference between "nb"
and "string".
- Re-applied Medusa patch to allow proxy-like HTTP requests
(GET http://hostname:port/ HTTP/1.0)
- Locale support in STXNG has been broken (since 2.4.0).
- Corrected aq_inContextOf(). The former code returned the
incorrect result if the context object was the root of the
hierarchy, a condition which normally does not occur in Zope,
but can occur in scripts.
- Fixed bad interaction between ZCatalog and dtml-in (submitted by
Steve Alexander)
- Fixed bug in ZODB conflict resolution code where attempts to
resolve conflicts in ZClasses generated inapprorpriate errors.
(ChrisM, thanks to Lance Carito for finding).
- Fixed the ZMI for viewing legacy ZCatalogs that still use SearchIndex
indexes. (stevea)
- Cleaned up ZCatalog API to make it more internally consistent, added
some missing permissions, and left in deprecated methods for
compatibility with the pre-clean-up API.
You can now pass a string or a sequence of strings to methods such as
manage_delColumn and manage_clearIndex. (stevea)
- Multiple links in a paragraph with mixed link notation
(quotation+colon+URL or quotation+comma+whitespace+URL) did not
work properly (thanks to Alastair Burt for reporting and submitting
the patch).
- Added updated and enhanced testsuite for STXNG.
- Fixed typo in medusa/logger.py, where mktime was getting nine
arguments, where it expected a nine-tuple. Thanks to Terry Kerr
for the patch. (stevea)
Zope 2.4.1
Bugs fixed
- The ZPL has been updated to version 1.1. The changes are:
- Appearances of "Digital Creations" changed to "Zope
Corporation"
- Open Source(tm) changed to just open source
- The request for attribution clause has been dropped
- Version number bumped to 1.1
- Collector # 2554: Version variables were not html quoted on
ZMI manage_tabs.
- Collector #2536. Fixed requestprofiler false output problem
whereby requestprofiler could mistakenly ignore requests that
had the same id in long logs. Thanks to Dyon Balding!
- Collector #2523: Returning a tuple from __bobo_traverse__ was
broken.
- Collector #2532: ZCatalog.availableSplitters is now protected
by security mechanism.
Zope 2.4.1 beta 1
Bugs fixed
- Collector #2412: a read-only FileStorage has not been closed
properly.
- Collector #2438: Using a slice operation like [30:] on a
ZCatalog search result caused a MemoryError because
the __getslice__ implementation used range() instead
of xrange().
- Collector #2423: Searching a FieldIndexes for documents
with a blank string has been broken.
- Collector #2347: there was no interface for incrementally
refreshing a ZCatalog.
- Collector #2336: Quoting and globbing in non-trivial queries
were broken. All tests now pass.
- Collector #2427, 2429: Tests for keys() was missing.
Incorporated Chris Withers' fix.
- WebDAV Lockmanager was not working due to a Python 2.1
incompatibility.
- Collector #2482: A COPY operation through WebDAV on a locked
resource left the destination resource in a locked state
so any WebDAV client was unable to unlock the destination
object. Locks are now cleared from the destination object.
- Collector #2481: adjusted punctuation for link generation
(not working with ! inside quoted text)
- Error message AttributeError/_v_blocks when a DTMLfile is
not present or could not be read replaced by a more
informative message.
- Simplified the way product refresh happens. Instead of using
the reload() function, we just remove the appropriate modules
from sys.modules. This ensures that modules are loaded in the
correct order.
- Fixes to Splitter interfaces to work correctly under MacOSX
- Collector #2497: SERVER_PROTOCOL variable is now compliant
with the CGI specification and looks like "HTTP/1.1" instead
of "1.1"
- Creation of a TextIndex ignored the vocabulary setting.
- Fixed broken aquisition of vocabularies from a Catalog
by a TextIndex.
- Collector #2504: level parameter has not been passed to HTMLClass
constructor
- default for 'orphan' attribute of <dtml-in> is now 0 instead 3.
- Skip attempting to register APIHelp for files beginning with '_'
(e.g., '__init__.py'). Allows HelpSys to build help from a
"real" Python package.
- Fixed conflict resolution problem in BTrees (BTreeTemplace/
_p_resolveConflict)
- Fixed conflict resolution problem in BTrees (BTreeTemplace/
_p_resolveConflict)
- Add 'WEBDAV_SOURCE_PORT' marker key to REQUEST.env for requests
passing through a WebDAV source port (eases detection).
