Zope 3.4.0 Release Announcement

The Zope 3 development team has announced the release of Zope 3.4.0, which is the result of two years of development and includes a conversion from a monolithic source tree to a set of many small packages (eggs) that can be used independently of each other. The core has been further stabilized through numerous bug fixes, and many new add-on packages have been developed to provide a richer development experience.

With this release also comes a renewed commitment to a short and reliable release cycle of 6 months. Zope 3 is now fully converted to an egg-based system, which integrates very well with the rest of the Python community. The conversion means that Zope 3 developers do not use the classic Zope 3 tar-ball release anymore. However, for your convenience, Zope 3 developers will provide the classic Zope 3 tar ball releases for at least the 3.4 series and probably for 3.5 as well. The known good set (KGS) is a configuration of packages and their versions that are known to work well together and can be used in several ways, including by downloading the version configuration file and inserting it into your buildout configuration. Zope 3 is a web application server that continues to build on the heritage of Zope and includes a component architecture that allows developers to create flexible and powerful web applications. The component architecture is the very core of Zope 3 that allows developers to create flexible and powerful web applications.
