MIME type handling for Zope

Project description

Provide a registry of mimetypes, accessible via the mimetypes_registry tool.

Upgrade from older versions

If you want to use the updated mimetypes registry database from the version after 2.0.6 and you don’t have important customizations you need to keep, just delete the old mimetypes_registry tool from ZMI and import all steps from the MimetypesRegistry profile.

How to update the mimetypes registry from freedesktop.org

  1. Download the latest release from freesdesktops org shared mime info project page.

  2. Unpack the tarball

  3. Copy the freedesktop.org.xml file to Products.MimetypesRegistry’s mime_types folder.

  4. Add a note to the change log CHANGES.rst.

  5. Push to a branch and create a pull request.

1.6.4

  • Nothing

1.6.3 (2009-05-16)

  • Fix bug due to removed version.txt in 1.6.2. [wichert]

1.6.2 (2009-05-16)

  • Updated freedesktop.org shared-mime-info from the shared-mime-info-0.51.tar.bz2 file. [sidnei]

  • Added Office 2007 mime types to the mime.types file, which was copied from Apache ages ago. The current version of Apache doesn’t contain those yet, nor does the shared-mime-info. Care must be taken when this file is updated again to make sure those mime types are not removed accidentally. [sidnei]

1.6.1 (2008-09-30)

  • Updated freedesktop.org shared-mime-info from the shared-mime-info-0.23.tar.bz2 file. [hannosch]

  • Added metadata.xml file to the profile. [hannosch]

  • Changed fixUpSMIGlobs not to reinitialize the smi_mimetypes, when they are already initialized during tool creation. [hannosch]

  • Compile the 750KiB freedesktop.org.xml file to a binary format which gets loaded on Zope startup instead of reparsing the XML file each time. If the modification time of the source xml file changes, the binary file is automatically recreated. If the binary file cannot be created the xml file is reparsed each time as before. [hannosch]

  • Change some mimetypes returned by guessMime to match the mimetypes registered in mtr (from freedesktop.org’s mime database). [csenger]

  • Ensure that lookup doesn’t return an empty tuple if asked with a mimetypestring returned by guessMime. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7876 [csenger]

  • Lookup by extensions (not glob) as submitted and retry it with lower case to catch filenames like ‘file.TXT’ [csenger]

1.6.0 (2007-08-16)

  • Nothing

1.6.0-rc2 (2007-07-27)

  • Updated componentregisty.xml to new style. [hannosch]

1.6.0-rc1 (2007-07-04)

  • Do not modify the portal_skins tool configuration [wichert]

1.6.0-b5 (2007-05-05)

  • Fix signature of fixUpSMIGlobs. [wichert]

1.6.0-b4 (2007-04-28)

  • Go back to using getToolByName for CMF tools. [nouri]

1.6.0-b3 (2007-03-20)

  • Removed tests/runalltests.py and tests/framework.py as they have outlived their usefulness. To run tests use Zope’s testrunner: ./bin/zopectl test –nowarn -s Products.MimetypesRegistry [stefan]

1.6.0-b2 (2007-03-05)

  • Use new cmf:registerDirectory zcml directive and removed corresponding code from the initialize method. [hannosch]

1.6.0-b1 (2007-02-27)

  • version bumped to 1.6, 1.5 is now for archetypes 1.4 bugfixing whatever happens with 1.6.x shouldt have effects on AT 1.4 [jensens]

1.5.0-a1 (2007-02-06)

  • Implemented PLIP 149 [tomster]

1.4.1-final (2006-09-15)

1.4.0-final (2006-06-16)

  • Use zope.contenttype in favor of zope.app.content_types if available. [hannosch]

1.4.0-beta2 (2006-05-12)

  • Use zope.app.content_types in favor of OFS.content_types if available. [stefan]

  • Spring-cleaning of tests infrastructure. [hannosch]

1.4.0-beta1 (2006-03-26)

1.4.0-alpha02 (2006-02-23)

  • ensured that the key gotten back from windows_mimetypes.py existed mark says the best way is to examine each key to ensure its valid but would be slower. [runyaga]

  • removed odd archetypes 1.3 style version checking [jensens]

  • Removed BBB code for CMFCorePermissions import location. [hannosch]

  • removed deprecation warning for ToolInit. [jensens]

  • skip backward compatibility to the times where MTR where part of PortalTransforms. [jensens]

1.3.8-final02 (2006-01-15)

  • nothing - the odd version checking needs a version change to stick to Archetypes version again. [yenzenz]

1.3.8-RC1 (2005-12-29)

  • Split yet another part of register() into a separate method. Cleanup smi_mimetypes initialize a little bit to to use the new method when adding new mimetypes to a already-registered entry. [dreamcatcher]

  • Include aliases in the list of mimetypes for a entry. Based on patch by Jean Jordaan [dreamcatcher]

  • Use a SAX-based parser instead of minidom to improve Zope startup time (by 17 seconds on my Pismo) and memory footprint. [dreamcatcher]

  • Augment known mimetypes with Windows mimetypes, if available. [dreamcatcher]

1.3.7-final01 (2005-10-11)

  • For the sake of sanity, include a ‘mime.types’ with MimetypesRegistry to minimize the platform-specific differences in mime detection when the python ‘mimetypes’ module is involved. [dreamcatcher]

  • globs from freedesktop.org shared-mime-info were incorrectly mapped to ‘extensions’ and never really worked because the code tried to strip a leading dot, where the globs normally had *..

    The side-effect of this is that in unix, the Python ‘mimetypes’ module would happily read ‘/etc/mime.types’ and gracefully work (/etc/mime.types has most of the extensions of shared-mime-info but a few), where on Windows it would fail to detect mimetypes by extension. [dreamcatcher]

  • Added support for real globs, using fnmatch.translate and re.compile and a migration function that will be run from Plone 2.1.1 migration, with some tests specific for globs read from shared-mime-info. [dreamcatcher]

1.3.6-final01 (2005-08-30)

  • after one night sleeping over it I removed the yesterday added method. therefore I added according to some heuristics and OOo-Documentation some magic bytes to magic.py and made better tests. [yenzenz]

  • added a method to detect mimetypes of zipped files, here specially for OOo now all Openoffice files and zip files are detected properly. my simple tests are working: a OOo-Writer and a simpe zipfile are detected. [yenzenz]

  • updated freedesktop.org.xml file to latest CVS version rev 1.57 from http://cvs.freedesktop.org/mime/shared-mime-info/freedesktop.org.xml [yenzenz]

1.3.5-final03 (2005-08-07)

  • nothing - the odd version checking needs a version change to stick to Archetypes version again. [yenzenz]

1.3.5-final02 (2005-08-01)

  • nothing again, need to stick to Archetypes version [yenzenz]

1.3.5-final (2005-07-17)

  • Added Five/Zope3 interface bridges and implements [tiran]

1.3.4-final (2005-07-06)

  • added icons for openoffice.org files [yenzenz]

1.3.3-final06 (2005-05-20)

  • nothing (I hate to write this. But the odd version checking needs it). [yenzenz]

1.3.3-final-02 (2005-03-25)

  • nothing

1.3.3-final (2005-03-05)

  • More a workaround than a fix for [ 1056252 ] Content type algorithm can be confused. [tiran]

  • workaround for [ 1068001 ] BaseUnit Encoding Error: macintosh [yenzenz]

  • In the case all else fails, try to resort to guess_content_type so that at least we don’t get ‘text/plain’ when the file is in fact a binary file. [dreamcatcher]

1.3.2-5 (2004-09-30)

  • nothing

1.3.2-4 (2004-09-30)

  • nothing

  • Added text/x-html-safe mime type for new transformation [tiran]
