Products.externaleditor

---------------

- Change default configuration to use .txt extension for text/plain only.
Add extensions for css and javascript files.

- Fixed packaging bug in Windows binary which disabled several plugins.
This fixes "Editor did not launch properly" errors for MSOffice
among others.

- Fixed a bug where very short editing sessions where no changes were
made could make EE think the editor never launched. Thanks to Maik Ihde.

---------------

- Fix encoding bug in windows binary. Thanks to Chris McDonough.

- Added tip for configuring IE to save files over SSL. Thanks to
Jonah Bossewitch.

------------

- Added working distutils setup for Unix.

- You can now specify from the server that the helper app should
borrow a lock by passing borrow_lock=1 via the request, thus
suppressing the dialog box which appears by default. Thanks
to Shane Hathaway.

- Improved open file check in Word and Powerpoint plugins
thanks to Yura Petrov.

- Added plugins for Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

- Added the man page from the Debian distro. Thanks go out to
Federico Sevilla III and Andreas Tille

--------------

- Built Windows helper app using Python 2.2.2 and PythonWin 148.

- The `externalEdit_` object now accepts a path argument to the object to
edit, allowing URLs like: `http://zope/externalEdit_?path=/some/object.`
This allows external editor to play better with applications making use
of traversal magic of their own. Thanks to Tres Seaver.

- Fixed NameError bug in unlock retry code. Thanks to Federico Sevilla III.

- Added a workaround for non-compliant SSL servers. The software now
silently ignores "EOF occurred in violation of protocol" errors coming
from httplib. Thanks to Christopher Deckard.

- Removed stderr writes to cure "Invalid File Descriptor" errors on
Windows. Thanks to Martijn Peters.

- Added Photoshop plugin (win32)

- Added HomeSite plugin (win32)

- Added win32 editor plugin support for the helper application.

-------------

- Added patch for Zope find template so that you can use external editor
directly from find results in the ZMI. Thanks to Jim Washington.

- Factored out external editor link generator. Product now registers
a global method `externalEditLink_` which can be called to generate
the external editor icon link for any object.

- External editing is now governed by the "Use external editor" permission
to allow non-managers to use it. Users must also have the permissions to
edit/modify the objects they edit, plus do WebDAV locking if desired.
Thanks to Reineke and others.

- Unix editor command line parsing is much more robust now and properly
handles quoted arguments. You can also specify the "$1" placeholder in the
editor command to denote where the content file name is inserted. If
omitted it is appended to the end of the command line. "%1" continues to
work similarly for Windows. Thanks to Marc St-Jean.

- Fixed bug editing large (chunked) files and images. External editor now
streams their data properly to the client. Thanks to all the users who
reported various symptoms of this bug.

- Fixed bug editing objects inside a Squishdot site. Thanks to Kevin Salt.

- Added the capability to borrow exising DAV locks. This allows external
editor to play well with other systems using locks, such as CMFStaging. A
new configuration flag, always_borrow_locks can be set to suppress the
borrow lock warning dialog when editing.

- Fixed auth bug when product was used with mysqlUserFolder. Thanks to
ViNiL.
