Silva 0.9.3 beta released!

Infrae is pleased to release Silva 0.9.3 beta, for your testing and inspecting pleasure. Silva is a structured publication system for Zope that can be used to construct and maintain websites, but for instance also export its contents through XML to Word, using DocMa.

This release contains a lot of changes, including a new Ghost Folder, container title revisions, importing assets from zip files, link object, improved parsing of markup in the Silva structured editor, ip-range based groups, new viewer roles, improved external source mechanism with parameters and caching, improved unit test framework, installing layout templates from the Silva UI, and numerous UI tweaks and bugfixes. Development-wise it marks start of a changeover from mixins to using Zope3-style adapters.

Please download the Silva-0.9.3b1-all.tgz tarball for easy installation. Unpack it into your products directory, add a 'Silva Root' object to your Zope and go to the edit screens by clicking /edit in the Silva root. You can also download all the dependencies yourself, as described in the INSTALL.txt.

Note: This is an beta release, so expect problems and report the bugs on our mailing lists (silva-general, silva-dev). In particular, no functionality is provided yet for upgrades from Silva version 0.9.2. If you are just trying to take a look at Silva for the first time, consider trying version version 0.9.2 instead, which also has a nice windows installer
