The changes since Five 1.0.1 (Zope 2.8.0) are:

• Fixed some issues with bridged interfaces: Bases and Methods were not bridged correctly. extends() was never True.
• zope.security.checkPermission now behaves exactly like Five.security.checkPermission (in fact, the former now calls the latter through the indirection of Zope 3 security policies).
• Fixed a bug with resource directories. Resources within those were not rendering their absolute URL correctly.

For more information please consult the CHANGES document.

Five 1.0.2 can be downloaded here: http://codespeak.net/z3/five/release/Five-1.0.2.tgz

This version of Five will also be port of the upcoming Zope 2.8.1.

About Five

Five is a Zope 2 product that allows you to integrate Zope 3 technologies into Zope 2, today. It allows you to use the following parts of the Zope 3 component architecture within Zope 2:

• Zope 3 interfaces
• adapters
• pages (views), including skins, layers and resources
• edit and add forms, based on schemas
• ZCML

We've tried to keep the Five experience as close to Zope 3 as possible, so this means that what you learn while using Five should also be applicable to Zope 3.

More information about Five can be found on our website, here:

We hope you'll join our mailing list and let hear from yourself!
