OpenCore Software

Hi folks, opencore 0.12.1 was released today.

This is a bugfix release with no user-visible new features.

As with the previous release, it still doesn’t work via easy_install, you have to get it by checking out the tag from subversion: https://svn.openplans.org/svn/opencore/tags/0.12.1 and then install using python setup.py develop. Or use TOPP’s usual build tools which will do that for you; however, we don’t yet have a requirements profile ready that uses this tag. You could modify requirements/opencore-req.txt if you have an existing fassembler build that you want to upgrade.

The biggest changes in this release are:

• Force project content deletion to be done via POST; if it’s a GET, redirect to a confirmation form. Reduces chance of accidental content delete by non-javascript clients. Thanks to Alex Clark for being so helpful and patient with us on this one.
• Added migrations/unmake-sites.py script to unmake the local sites at the app root and the Plone site root. Run this JUST BEFORE updating to a Plone 3-based version of opencore, which will be the next feature release, version 0.13. Do not run this migration under any other circumstances or you will break your site! For more info, see: https://svn.openplans.org/svn/opencore/trunk/docs/Plone2.5-Plone3-migration.txt

As always, if you have any problems, contact us on the opencore-users mailing list or look us up on the #openplans IRC channel on freenode.

I will be on vacation until 2008/07/31, I’m hoping my fellow TOPP employees can provide support while I’m gone.
