Zope Corporation is proud to announce the release of version 1.3
of the Zope Content Management Framework, available at:

  http://cmf.zope.org/download/CMF-1.3

>From the README

  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.

  Resources

    * The CMF "dogbowl" site, http://cmf.zope.org.

    * The mailing list, zope-cmf@zope.org.  List information and

      of the list are at: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-cmf.

  Known Issues

      http://collector.zope.org/CMF for issues which
      are open against the CMF.  You can also report issues there
      (please look for similar ones first!)


  Installation

    Please see "Installing CMF",
    http://cmf.zope.org/download/CMF-1.3/INSTALL.txt.

    http://cmf.zope.org/download/INSTALL_CVS.txt
    covers installing the CMF from a CVS checkout.

New Features since version 1.2

    - HTML content is now "scrubbed" when edited to remove tags
      which might allow cross-site scripting.

    - PortalFolders can now be workflowed and discussed (neither
      is enabled by default).

    - Tools which provide "actions" now allow editing of those
      actions via the ZMI.

    - The DublinCore modification date is now stored as an explicit
      attribute of content, rather than being inferred from the
      underlying ZODB value.

    - New PathIndex, 'path', is a standard part of the catalog.

    - New calendar display is now a standard part of the ZPT skins.

    - Filesystem-based skin methods can now have custom role-permission
      mappings, stored in separate '.security' files.

    - New CachingPolicyManager tool governs HTTP caching headers for
      FSPageTemplates.
