CMF 2.0.0 beta released

The CMF developer community and Zope Corporation are pleased to announce the release of version 2.0.0-beta of the Zope Content Management Framework (CMF). This release is intended for testing purposes only; we do not recommend deploying it to production servers. The CMF 2.0.0 final release is planned for the end of March 2006.

What's new in this release?

This is the first beta for CMF 2.0.0, the latest feature release. In addition to countless bug fixes and minor improvements, this release features many noteworthy additions, such as:

  • GenericSetup-integration as the replacement for the CMFSetup technology started in the CMF 1.5-series
  • the use of Zope 3-style interfaces throughout, bridged back to Zope 2-interfaces where needed for backwards compatibility
  • widespread integration with Zope 3/Five technologies, and the folding-in of the previous CMFonFive addon-product
  • pluggable TypeInformation objects
  • new-style Actions

What is the CMF?

The Zope Content Management Framework provides a set of services and content objects useful for building highly dynamic, content-oriented portal sites. As packaged, the CMF generates a site much like the Zope.org site. The CMF is intended to be easily customizable, in terms of both the types of content used and the policies and services it provides.
