Zope2 application server / web framework
Project description
Introduction
Zope is an open-source web application server.
This document provides some general information about Zope and provides links to other documents.
Installation information can be found in docs/INSTALL.rst. Other documentation is also in the “docs” directory and in the Zope documentation section at https://zope.readthedocs.io .
Installation
Follow the instructions in docs/INSTALL.rst to install Zope.
If you do not have a source checkout with docs, you can find the latest install docs online at https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/INSTALL-buildout.html
Note that you cannot simply do pip install zope2, because you need specific versions of all dependencies. Follow the documentation to ensure you get the correct versions, or else installation is very likely to fail.
License
The Zope License is included in LICENSE.txt.
Bug tracker
Bugs reports should be made through the Zope bugtracker at https://github.com/zopefoundation/Zope/issues. A bug report should contain detailed information about how to reproduce the bug.
Changelog
This file contains change information for the current Zope release. Change information for previous versions of Zope can be found at https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/2.13/CHANGES.html
4.0a1 (2016-07-22)
Bugs Fixed
Remove Connection and Transfer-Encoding headers from WSGI responses. According to PEP 333 WSGI applications must not emit hop-by-hop headers.
Removed docstrings from some methods to avoid publishing them. From Products.PloneHotfix20160419. [maurits]
bobo_traverse of ProductDispatcher did not correctly invalidate cache when a product was not initializes after first access of the cache. Types that were added in test-profiles were not useable. [pbauer, jensens]
Fix pt_editForm after the help-system was removed. [pbauer]
Skipped ipv6 test on Travis, because Travis no longer supports this.
LP #789863: Ensure that Request objects cannot be published / traversed directly via a URL.
Document running Zope as a WSGI application.
Queue additional warning filters at the beginning of the queue in order to allow overrides.
Issue #16: prevent leaked connections when broken EndRequestEvent subscribers raise exceptions.
Ensure that the WSGIPublisher begins and ends an interaction at the request/response barrier. This is required for instance for the checkPermission call to function without an explicit interaction parameter.
Made sure getConfiguration().default_zpublisher_encoding is set correctly.
Issue #28: Fix publishing of IStreamIterator. This interface does not have seek or tell. Introduce IUnboundStreamIterator to support publishing iterators of unknown length.
Features Added
Make repoze.tm2 optional when using the WSGIPublisher.
Include waitress as a default WSGI app server.
Add egg:Zope2#httpexceptions WSGI middleware.
Update available HTTP response code, 302 is now called Found.
Add a new runwsgi script to serve PasteDeploy files.
Depend on and automatically set up five.globalrequest.
Optimized the OFS.ObjectManager.__contains__ method to do the least amount of work necessary.
Optimized the OFS.Traversable.getPhysicalPath method to avoid excessive amounts of method calls.
During startup open a connection to every configured database, to ensure all of them can indeed be accessed. This avoids surprises during runtime when traversal to some database mountpoint could fail as the underlying storage cannot be opened at all.
Explicitly close all databases on shutdown, which ensures Data.fs.index gets written to the file system.
Always configure a blob-dir in the default skeleton.
ZPublisher: If IBrowserPage is provided by a view, form input is decoded. This makes it easier to use zope.formlib and z3c.form in Zope 2.
Remove control panel object from the ZODB.
Updated to latest versions of Zope Toolkit libraries.

Restructuring
Remove dependency on initgroups. Use the standard libraries os.initgroups instead.
Removed nt_svcutils support from zopectl.
Python 2.6 is no longer supported. Use Python 2.7.
Products.SiteErrorLog: Is now a separated package.
OFS: Removed duplicate code in ZopeFind and ZopeFindAndApply
Five: Removed obsolete metaclass.
Five: Refactored browser:view and browser:page directives. This makes their implementation more similar to that in zope.browserpage and adds allowed_interface support for the browser:view directive. By default the aq_* attributes are no longer available on those views/pages. If you still use them, you have to mix in Five’s BrowserView.
Removed the (very obsolete) thread lock around the cookie parsing code in HTTPRequest.py; the python re module is thread-safe, unlike the ancient regex module that was once used here.
Removed the special handling of Set-Cookie headers in HTTPResponse.setHeader. Use the setCookie/appendCookie/expireCookie methods instead, or if low-level control is needed, use addHeader instead to get the exact same effect.
Removed the App.version_txt.getZopeVersion API, you can use pkg_resources.get_distribution('Zope2').version instead.
On the application object, removed PrincipiaTime in favor of ZopeTime and PrincipiaRedirect in favor of Redirect or ZopeRedirect.
Removed OFS.DefaultObservable - an early predecessor of zope.event.
Removed mime-types option from zope.conf. You can use the add_files API from zope.contenttype instead.
Removed OFS.ZDOM. OFS.SimpleItem.Item now implements getParentNode().
Removed the last remaining code to support SOFTWARE_HOME and ZOPE_HOME.
Removed ZMI controls for restarting the process, these no longer apply when managed as a WSGI application.
Removed bobobase_modification_time from Persistence.Persistent, you can use DateTime(object._p_mtime) instead.
Removed AccessRule and SiteRoot from Products.SiteAccess.
Removed Products.ZReST and the reStructuredText wrapper, you can use docutils directly to gain reST support.
Removed special code to create user folders and page templates while creating new OFS.Folder instances.
Removed persistent default code like the error_log and temp_folder.
Removed persistent default content, including the standard_error_message template.
Retired icons from the Zope Management Interface and various smaller cleanups of ZMI screens.
Removed the old help system, in favor of the current Sphinx documentation hosted at https://zope.readthedocs.io/. For backwards compatibility the registerHelp and registerHelpTitle methods are still available on the ProductContext used during the initialize function.
Removed various persistent product related code and options. The enable-product-installation zope.conf setting is now a no-op.
Changed the value for default-zpublisher-encoding and management_page_charset to utf-8.
Removed the enable-ms-author-via directive which was only required for very old web folder implementations from before 2007.
Changed zope.conf default settings for zserver-threads to 2 and python-check-interval to 1000.
Simplified instance skeleton, removing old Extensions, import, lib/python and Products from the default. You can continue to manually add these back.
Five.browser: Marked processInputs and setPageEncoding as deprecated. processInputs was replaced by the postProcessInputs request method and the charset negotiation done by setPageEncoding was never fully supported.
Dropped the direct dependencies on packages that have been factored out of the main Zope 2 tree. Make sure you declare a dependency in your own distribution if you still use one of these:
Products.BTreeFolder2 Products.ExternalMethod Products.MailHost Products.MIMETools Products.PythonScripts Products.SiteErrorLog Products.StandardCacheManagers Products.ZCatalog Products.ZCTextIndex Record
