Subject: FYI: Zope Weekly News
Hi,
Zope 2.1 beta one was released this week. There will probably be
a relatively short beta period before Zope 2.1 final comes out.
Zope 2.1 focuses on boosting reliability and performance.
In other news, Zope community members continue to crank out
code, documentation, publicity, and all manner of excitement.
* Zope 2.1.0 beta 1 was released. This release includes many bug
fixes, performance and reliability improvements and a number of new
features such as the beginnings of internationalization support and
relevance ranking for ZCatalog.
