They take a *long* time to build (querying PyPI for each package for each
ZTK release), and should never change once generated, unless the 'update.py'
script changes.

Also, allow 'update.py' to generate based on a directory with local copies
of the index / config / versions.  Allows fixing up the duplicates in the
'ztk-versions.cfg' file tagged as 1.0c2.

Zope Toolkit 1.0.1
==================

This document covers major changes in this release that can lead to
backward-incompatibilities and explains what to look out for when updating.

.. This document contains release-specific information about the Zope Toolkit.
It is intended for automatic inclusion by the ZTK sphinx-based
documentation.
Introduction
------------

The Zope Toolkit 1.0 release is the first release of the Zope
Toolkit. The Zope Toolkit really is just a collection of libraries
managed together by the Zope developers. We typically treat each
library independently, so you would like to look at the CHANGES.txt in
each library for updates. Here we note larger changes, especially ones
that affect multiple libraries.

Installation
------------

The Zope Toolkit cannot be installed directly except as individual
libraries (such as ``zope.component``). To install it you typically
would install a framework or application that makes use of these
libraries. Examples of such projects are BlueBream, Grok and Zope 2.

If you want to use the Zope Toolkit KGS, you can use the buildout
extends mechanism (replace 1.0 by the desired version)::

[buildout]
extends = http://download.zope.org/zopetoolkit/index/1.0/ztk-versions.cfg

You can also copy the file locally or additionally extend the
zopeapp-versions.cfg file from the same location.

Frameworks and applications have their own set of install instructions. You
should follow these in most cases.

News
----

The 1.0 release of the Zope Toolkit contains a number of
refactorings that are aimed to clean up dependencies between pieces of
code. Many packages in ``zope.app`` have had their code moved to
existing or newly created packages in the ``zope`` namespace. These
new packages do generally not contain user interface code (typically
what's in ``.browser``), and have much clearer dependency
relationships as a result.

Backwards compatibility imports have been left in place so that your
existing code should still work. In some cases you will have to
explicitly add dependencies to a ``zope.app.`` to your code, as due to
the cleanup they might not come in automatically anymore due to
indirect dependencies; if you see an import error this is probably the
case.

We recommend you update your existing code to import from the new packages if
possible. The transition support and ``zope.app.*`` support is limited: the
legacy support will be officially retired from the ZTK after January 1,
2011.


Migration issues
----------------

zope.app.keyreference -> zope.keyreference
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This package was renamed to ``zope.keyreference`` and all its
functionality was moved to the new one. The new package contains a
little workaround for making old persistent keyreferences loadable
without ``zope.app.keyreference`` installed, so the latter one is not
needed at all anymore. Still review your code for any imports coming
from ``zope.app.keyreference`` and modify it to use
``zope.keyreference`` instead.

zope.app.intid -> zope.intid
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The non-UI functionality of these packages was moved to ``zope.intid``
with backwards compatibility imports left in place. Review your
imports from ``zope.app.intid`` to see whether they cannot come
directly from ``zope.intid`` instead.

zope.app.catalog -> zope.catalog
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The non-UI functionality of these packages was moved to
``zope.catalog``. Review your imports from ``zope.app.catalog`` to see
whether they cannot come directly from ``zope.catalog`` instead.

zope.app.container -> zope.container
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The non-UI functionality of these packages was moved to
``zope.container``. Review your imports from ``zope.app.container`` to
see whether they cannot come directly from ``zope.container`` instead.

In addition, the exceptions used by ``zope.container`` were changed,
so if your code catches them, you need to review it:

* The ``DuplicationError`` in ``setitem`` was changed to ``KeyError``.

* The ``UserError`` in ``NameChooser`` was changed to ``ValueError``.

zope.app.component -> zope.security, zope.site
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The implementation of the ``<class>`` ZCML directive moved from this
package to ``zope.security``. Packages that relied on
``zope.app.component`` to obtain this directive should declare a
direct dependency on ``zope.security``, and it may be possible to lose
the dependency on ``zope.app.component`` altogether.

Non-UI site related functionality has been moved to the ``zope.site``
package. with backwards compatibility imports left in place. Review
your imports from ``zope.app.component`` to see whether they cannot
come directly from ``zope.site`` instead.

zope.app.folder -> zope.site, zope.container
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The implementation of the ``zope.app.folder.Folder`` class has moved
to ``zope.site.folder`` instead, with backwards compatibility imports
left in place. Review your imports from ``zope.app.folder`` to see
whether they cannot come directly from ``zope.site`` instead. In
addition, ``Folder`` is an ``IContainer`` implementation that also
mixes in site management functionality. If such site management
support is not necessary, in some cases your code does not need
``Folder`` but may be able to rely on a ``Container`` implementation
from ``zope.container`` instead.

A base class with the implementation of the container-like behavior of
``Folder`` has moved to ``zope.container`` (and ``zope.site`` uses
this for its implementation of ``Folder``). This is not normally
something you should need to retain backwards compatibility.

zc.copy -> zope.copy, zope.copypastemove, zope.location
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The pluggable object copying mechanism once developed in the ``zc.copy``
package was merged back into ``zope.location``, ``zope.copypastemove``
and the new ``zope.copy`` package. The ``zope.copy`` package now provides
a pluggable mechanism for copying objects from ``zc.copy`` and doesn't
depend on anything but ``zope.interface``. The ``zope.copypastemove``
uses the ``copy`` function from ``zope.copy`` in its ``ObjectCopier``.

The ``zope.location`` now provides an ``ICopyHook`` adapter that implements
conditional copy functionality based on object locations, that old
``zope.location.pickling.CopyPersistent`` used to provide. Note, that if
you don't use ZCML configuration of ``zope.location``, you may need to
register ``zope.location.pickling.LocationCopyHook`` yourself.

The ``zope.location.pickling.locationCopy`` and
``zope.location.pickling.CopyPersistent`` are now deprecated in favor
of ``zope.copy`` and were replaced by backward-compatibility imports. See
``zope.copy`` package documentation for information on how to use the
new mechanism.

The new version of the ``zc.copy`` package now only contains
backward-compatibility imports and is deprecated. ``zope.copy`` should
be preferred for new developments.

zope.app.security refactoring
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ``zope.app.security`` package was finally refactored into a few small parts
with less dependencies and more clear purpose.

The implementation of the ``<module>`` ZCML directive moved from this
package to ``zope.security``. Packages that relied on
``zope.app.security`` to obtain this directive should declare a direct
dependency on ``zope.security``, and it may be possible to lose the
dependency on ``zope.app.security`` altogether.

The ``protectclass`` module in this package has moved to
``zope.security``, with backwards compatibility imports left in
place. Review your imports from ``zope.app.security`` to see whether
they cannot come directly from ``zope.security`` instead.

All interfaces (`IAuthentication`, `IUnauthenticatedPrincipal`, `ILoginPassword`
and so on.) were moved into a new ``zope.authentication`` package, as well as
several utility things, like `PrincipalSource` and `checkPrincipal` function.
The new package has much less dependencies and defines an abstract contract for
implementing authentication policies. While backward compatibility imports are
left in place, it's strongly recommended to update your imports to the
``zope.authentication``.

The `global principal registry` and its ZCML directives are moved into a new
``zope.principalregistry`` package with backward-compatibility imports left in
place. If your application uses global principals, review your code and ZCML
configuration to update it to the new place.

The `local permission` functionality was moved into a new ``zope.app.localpermission``
package. This functionality is a part of Through-The-Web development pattern that
seems not to be used and supported much by Zope Toolkit and Application anymore,
so it can be considered deprecated. However, it can serve as a great example of
TTW-related component.

The `Permission vocabularies` and standard protections for Message objects and
`__name__`, `__parent__` attributes as well as some common permissions, like `zope.View`
and `zope.ManageContent` were merged into `zope.security`.

The adapters from ``zope.publisher``'s `IHTTPCredentials` and `IFTPCredentials`
to the `ILoginPassword` were moved into ``zope.publisher``, thus making
``zope.authentication`` a dependency for ``zope.publisher``.

The original ``zope.app.security`` package now only contains several deprecated
or application-specific permission definitions, python module protections, that
are only likely to be needed with deprecated Through-The-Web development pattern,
and ZMI-related browser views (login.html, zope.app.form view for PrincipalSource
and so on), as well as backward-compatibility imports. So, if you're not using
TTW and/or standard ZMI browser views, you probably should review update your
imports to a new places and drop dependency on ``zope.app.security`` to reduce
package dependencies count.

Other packages, that used ``zope.app.security``, like ``zope.securitypolicy`` are
either already adapted to the changes or will be adapted soon.

zope.app.publisher refactoring
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ``zope.app.publisher`` package was also refactored into smaller parts
with less dependencies and clearer purpose.

The browser resources mechanism (mostly used for serving static files and
directories) was factored out to the new ``zope.browserresource`` package.
It was also made more pluggable, so you can register specific resource classes
for some file extensions, if you need special processing. One of the example
is the new ``zope.ptresource`` package, where the PageTemplateResource was
moved, another example is ``z3c.zrtresource`` package that was adapted to
automatically use ZRT resource class for files with ``.zrt`` extensions.

Browser menu mechanism was moved into a new ``zope.browsermenu`` package with
no further changes.

ZCML directives for easy creation of browser views (the ``browser:page``
directive and friends) was moved into a new small package, ``zope.browserpage``.
Also, the directives don't depend the menu mechanism now and will simply ignore
"menu" and "title" arguments if ``zope.browsermenu`` package is not installed.

The ``IModifiableBrowserLanguages`` adapter was moved into ``zope.publisher``
along with several ZCML security declarations for ``zope.publisher`` classes
that used to be in ``zope.app.publisher``.

ZCML registrations for ``IXMLRPCPublisher`` adapter for containers was moved
into the ``zope.container``, because the actual adapters code were already in
``zope.container`` and registered there as ``IBrowserPublisher`` adapters.
However, both adapters and their ZCML registrations will probably move elsewhere
when we'll be refactoring ``zope.container``.

Several parts are left in ``zope.app.publisher`` untouched:

* ``Browser Skins`` vocabulary.
* ``date`` field converter for ``zope.publisher``'s form values conversion
mechanism.
* ``ManagementViewSelector`` browser view (ZMI-related part).
* ``xmlrpc:view`` directive for publishing XML-RPC methods.

The latter, ``xmlrpc:view`` directive is generally useful, so it may be moved
into a separate package in future, however there are no clear decision about
how to move XML-RPC and FTP-related things currently.

Password managers extracted from zope.app.authentication
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The `IPasswordManager` interface and its implementations were extracted from
``zope.app.authentication`` into a new ``zope.password`` package to make them
usable with other authentication systems, like ``z3c.authenticator`` or
``zope.principalregistry`` or any custom one.

It basically depends only on ``zope.interface``, so it can be really useful even
in non-Zope environments, like ``Pylons``, for example.

The `Password Manager Names` vocabulary is also moved into ``zope.password``,
however, it's only useful with ``zope.schema`` and ``zope.component``, so you
need them installed to work with them. They're listed in the "vocabulary" extra
requirement specification.

ZODB 3.9 FileStorage native blob support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The FileStorage component of ZODB 3.9 used in Zope Toolkit 1.0 now
supports blobs natively, so you don't need to use BlobStorage proxy
for it anymore.

Thus, you can specify blob directory directly to FileStorage. If you
use ZConfig, that means something like this::

<filestorage>
path var/Data.fs
blob-dir var/blobs
</filestorage>

instead of::

<blobstorage>
blob-dir var/blobs
<filestorage>
path var/Data.fs
</filestorage>
</blobstorage>

If you creating a storage from python, that means something like this:

.. code-block:: python
storage = FileStorage('var/Data.fs', blob_dir='var/blobs')
instead of:

.. code-block:: python
storage = BlobStorage('var/blobs', FileStorage('var/Data.fs'))
zope.dublincore permission renaming
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ``zope.app.dublincore.*`` permissions have been renamed to
``zope.dublincore.*``. Applications using these permissions have to fix up
grants based on the old permissions.
