The Plone team has release 1.0beta2. This feature includes many usability fixes, bugfixes, changes to permissions in default workflows and new unit tests. We are changing Plone before 1.0 in small ways. We are gaining experience on client engagements and sinking this back into Plone beta2. The HISTORY file will give you insight into most changes.

You can download Plone 1.0 beta2 from sourceforge. http://sf.net/projects/plone and the Win32 installer has been updated. The MacOSX installer will be available later this evening. .deb should land in a few minutes. We are currently looking for someone to provide .rpm packaging. Please contact plone-developers mailing list.
