ExternalFile 0.0.5 Released (stable beta)
This is the first public release of our ExternalFile product.
    
Why not simply use
 ExtFile?  Because ExternalFile supports pointing to a file "in situ" like a symbolic link, rather than copying it into some central repository directory.
This may not seem like a big deal, until you consider that those files might be stored in a revision control system like CVS.  ExternalFile gives you the ability to create a Zope object that points to a file in, for example, a CVS sandbox for its content.
ExternalFile is usable by itself.  It is also the base class for CVSFile, to be released shortly.
