Silva 1.5 released

2 february 2006 – Infrae has just released version 1.5 of the Silva content management system.

Silva 1.5 is the first Silva release that really starts using Zope 3 technology in the core, and is the first step in a longer evolution. It does not have a lot of externally visible feature changes, but focuses on making Silva work with Zope 2.8 and Five 1.2.

Some of the changes:

• Silva now uses Zope 3 interfaces. SilvaLayout (to be released) does not have to create Zope 3 marker interfaces anymore.
• Silva now uses the Five/Zope 3 i18n architecture. PlacelessTranslationService is not in use anymore.
• Use Zope 2.8 style ZODB transactions.
• Some view code has been converted to be based on Zope 3 views.
• Some adapters have been converted to be true Zope 3 adapters.

See doc/developer_changes.txt in the Silva core package for more details about these changes. And of course a lot of bugs have been squashed: see HISTORY.txt in the package for complete details.
