zope.fssync 3.5

3.5

• Added the support for empty directories in snarf format. Now directories can be explicitly described by snarf.

• Synchronizers can now return callbacks from the load method. This allows for fix ups to be run later. This is useful when adding multiple objects at the same time that depend on each other. Callbacks can in turn return callbacks.

• Add support to FSMerger to allow locally modified files to be overwritten by files returned from the server. The purpose of this is to avoid conflicts after commit on files that are formatted differently on the server from local versions.

3.4.0b1

Refactoring of zope.fssync and zope.app.fssync into two clearly separated packages:

• zope.fssync contains now a Python API that has no critical dependencies on Zope, the ZODB, and the security machinery.

• zope.app.fssync contains a protected web-based API and special synchronizers for zope.app content types.

Other major changes are

• synchronizers (i.e. serialization/de-serialization adapters) are created by named utilities which use dotted class names as lookup keys

• added doctests

• support for large files

• adapters for pickler, unpickler and handling of persistent pickle ids

• binaries are no longer merged

• case-insensitive filesystems and repositories use disambiguated names on export and the original names on import

• export and import of directly provided interfaces

• direct export to archives/direct import from archives

• addressed encoding problems on Mac OSX
