-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 itools is a Python library, it groups a number of packages into a single meta-package for easier development and deployment: itools.catalog itools.i18n itools.uri itools.cms itools.ical itools.web itools.csv itools.resources itools.workflow itools.datatypes itools.rss itools.xhtml itools.gettext itools.schemas itools.xliff itools.handlers itools.stl itools.xml itools.html itools.tmx The most relevant news in this release are... The "itools.cms" package does not depends on the ZODB anymore, now it stores the information directly in the filesystem, as files and folders. This enables us to use all the tools we like and love for introspection and manipulation of the database (grep, vi, etc.). It also means a boost to the application's performance. The Command Line Interface has been updated to use our new conventions. The script "icms.py" has been split into: icms-init, icms-start, icms-stop, icms-update and icms-restore; "igettext.py" has been split into: igettext-extract, igettext-merge and igettext-build; and so on. The consequences basically are shell completion for free, and a better online documentation. The packaging has also seen deep changes. Unit tests are all centralized into the "test" directory. The new family of "isetup" scripts (isetup-update-locale, isetup-build and isetup-test) will simplify the localization, build and test processes, hence helping us to deliver a better product. While only visible to us developers of itools, the switch from GNU arch to GIT [1] to manage the source code, will streamline the development process, reduce the entry barrier to new contributors, and in the end help us to get out a better product. Last, but probably most important, we have changed the licensing of itools from LGPL to GPL. While this change may not be for the taste of many Python developers, we believe that itools belongs to the group of libraries that "make a difference", hence it is better served by the GPL license [2].
