I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.4.2 final. This corresponds
to the ZODB in Zope 2.8.2 final. You can download a source
tarball or Windows installer from:
http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.4
Note that there are two Windows installers, for Python 2.3 (2.3.5 is
recommended) and Python 2.4 (2.4.2 is recommended).
ZODB 3.4.2 mostly contains obscure error-case bugfixes relative to 3.4.1.
One important fix: most applications that do subtransaction commits do so
to reduce RAM consumed by the ZODB memory ("pickle") cache. When
subtransactions were reimplemented on top of savepoints, this cache
reduction no longer occurred. That was an oversight, and is repaired in
3.4.2. See the NEWS file for details:
http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.4/NEWS.html
The current status of all active ZODB lines can be seen here:

I'm pleased to announce the release of ZODB 3.2.10 final. This corresponds
to the ZODB in Zope 2.7.8 final. You can download a source
tarball or Windows installer from:
http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2
Note that there are two Windows installers, for Python 2.3 (2.3.5 is
recommended) and Python 2.4 (2.4.2 is recommended).
ZODB 3.2.10 contains a few bugfixes relative to 3.2.9, all in obscure error
cases. The most serious is a workaround for what appears to be a rare race
bug in Microsoft's implementation of socket binding on Windows platforms.
See the NEWS file for details:

Folks,
This little class starts up an SMTP server which acts as an email
sink, collecting all received emails destined for any address. All
emails are routed to a Portable Unix Mailbox file. This is very handy
for testing applications that send email. It runs in its own thread,
so you can easily use it from a test fixture to collect your emails
and verify them for correctness.

Enjoy!

Nufox is a remote-XUL server framework for building live, event-driven,
through-the-web GUI applications without writing markup, just python.
This is the initial release and represents several months work, much
thanks to cablehead, radix, exarkun et al for their advice and
contributions.

Paris, October 12, 2005 -- Nuxeo is happy to release CalCore 1.3.0
CalCore is an advanced, flexible calendaring component for Python. It
allows the Python developer do write advanced calendaring applications
either using their own event storage or integrating with external
calendar servers.
Features of the CalCore include among others:
* Support for making private calendars, shared calendars, resource
booking and more.
* integration with iCalendar clients (Apple iCal, Mozilla Sunbird,
KOrganizer...) using the iCalendar protocol,
* invitation workflow,
* meeting support, including helper functions to look for free time,
* recurring event support (thanks to SchoolTools recurrence
implementation, http://www.schooltool.org),
* etc.
CalCore is being used as the core of Nuxeos CalZope and
CPSSharedCalendar products, products for integrating with Zope and CPS.
These products provide a complete web-based user interface to the
CalCore calendaring.
CalCore defines (but do not depend on) Zope 3 interfaces and schemas.It
also uses Max M's iCalendar module. These packages are all included in
the bundle tgz.
For more functional and technical information, see the web site:
http://www.cps-project.org/sections/projects/calendar_server
CalCore 1.3.0 can be downloaded here:
http://www.cps-project.org/static/misc/CalCore-bundle-1.3.0.tgz
If you'd like to help with CalCore development or integration with
calendar servers, please join the cps-devel mailing list at
http://lists.nuxeo.com/mailman/listinfo/cps-devel (a dedicated list
will be created if needed in the future).
The deadline for PyCon proposals is now three weeks away;
