The Five team is happy to announce the release of two Five bugfix
releases, 1.2.4 and 1.3.5, as well as two Five betas, 1.4c and 1.5b
today.


What is Five
------------

Five is a Zope 2 product that allows you to integrate Zope 3
technologies into Zope 2, today.  Among others, it allows you to use
Zope 3 interfaces, ZCML-based configuration, adapters, browser pages
(including skins, layers, and resources), automated add and edit forms
based on schemas, object events, as well as Zope 3-style i18n message
catalogs.

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, and viceversa.

More information about Five can be found on our website,
http://codespeak.net/z3/five/.


About Five 1.4 and 1.5
----------------------

Five 1.4 and 1.5 are feature releases.  They are basically equivalent
except that Five 1.4 works with Zope 2.9/3.2 (only) and 1.5 works with
Zope 2.10/3.3 (only). Five 1.5 will be included in Zope 2.10.

Most important features are:

* Added viewlet and content provider support.  A big thanks to Alec
  Mitchell and his helpers at the Archipelago sprint for making this
  possible.

* Add zope.formlib support.  Please see ``doc/formlib.txt`` for more
  information.  A big thanks to Jan-Wijbrand Kolman for this.

* Port zope.testbrowser to Zope 2.  You can now use
  Products.Five.testbrowser.Browser in functional tests.  Much thanks
  to Brian Sutherland.

* Add python-packages-as-zope-products support which basically allows
  for using any python package as a zope product without it having to
  live in Products/.  Much thanks to Rocky Burt for this.

Zope 2.10 and Five 1.5 are also a big milestone in the convergence of
Zope 2 and Zope 3, for it is no longer necessary to mark classes with
five:traversable and five:defaultViewable to enable Zope 3 view lookup
functionality.  A big thanks goes to Lennart Regebro and Michael
Kerrin for making this possible!


Changes in Five 1.2.4, 1.3.5 and 1.4c (compared to 1.4b)
--------------------------------------------------------

* Made sure that events are fired as expected in add and edit forms.

* Made sure LocalizerLanguages class normalized language codes to
  xx-yy, instead of xx_YY or xx-YY.

* Fixed a problem with the new traversal look-up order and the root
  object (OFS.Application.Application).


About the Zope 3 Base
---------------------

Five is part of the *Zope 3 Base* project, which aims to offer an
approachable area for developers of Zope 3 related software. More
about the Zope 3 base and its projects can be found on the project
website, http://codespeak.net/z3/.
