1. 2.0 04/20/2003 Stable Release

• Made compatible with latest CVSFile version 0.9

• Converted all DTML to Zope Page Templates
• Lots of refactoring to improve internal structure and reusability
• Upgraded tests to use ZopeTestCase
• Added lots more tests
• Serving up Files and Images is now faster and requires less memory (thanks to patch provided by Fabien Le Floc'h )

1. 0 05/26/2002 Stable Release

• Added Batch Create function to the ZMI to automatically create an instance of ExternalFile for every file within a directory.
• Fixed bug where new image files could not be uploaded via the edit form.
• Added getMimeType() as new IExternalFile method
• New behave_like: File. File used for non-image binaries
• Separated out GUI creation workflow from object implementation. Workflow is optional: used from ZMI menus, but bypassed if called programmatically from Python scripts.
• Separated out Product-wide properties from instance properties. Product-wide properties are now controlled by the ProductProperties module. State is maintained via external ASCII files. etc/mime.types and etc/display.types are loaded in at Zope startup time. ProductProperties apply to all instances of ExternalFile.
• Added utilities demonstrating how to create ExternalFile instances programmatically without using the default ExternalFile ZMI GUI creation workflow screens. See files extras/batchCreate.dtml, extras/uploadCreate.py and extras/uploadCreateForm.dtml.
