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.
