Plone 5.2.5 soft released

Plone 5.2.5 has been soft-released. Please give it a try and let me know if there are any critical issues:
https://dist.plone.org/release/5.2.5-pending/versions.cfg

For those who haven't run across soft-releases before, this is the last step before the final release. Because things haven't been finalized yet, some packages may change between now and the release. It is not recommended to use soft-releases in production.

Changes that I still expect (apart from me adding release notes, and copying packages):

  • Zope 4.6.3 release, where the biggest change is a new AccessControl with a security fix. The fixed version 4.3 is already in our versions.cfg. There should be a post on the forum about the release and the fix once the Zope release is out, which should be soon.
  • A new Products.isurlinportal release, with a minor security fix. That will probably be early next week.
  • Maybe new mockup and plone.staticresources releases. There is a small fix in mockup, but I don't see any effect when I try to take over this change in plone.staticresources. I am no expert on those packages though, so I could be wrong. If someone can have a look, that would help.

Thanks! I tested it with 2 projects and everything seemed to work fine.

I tested it with on the test server of the Austrian Architectural Forum and all looks good so far!

Testing easyform to email stop working

Thanks for the release!
The PloneIntranet test suite runs fine with Plone 5.2.5.
I am using 5.2.5 while developing and so far I did not notice anything strange!

I can confirm!
You can see the problem by going to the form actions. The standard Mailer object is not selected, so it is not active:

Screenshot 2021-08-05 at 09.54.29

And when I select it and click Save, it has no effect...

Might be fixable in collective.easyform.
But the root cause is that zope.schema was upgraded from 6.0.0 to 6.1.0.
This version changed set the default of IField.required to False. See issue 104 and PR 105, which include earlier reports of problems, which mostly have been fixed.
With this latest report about this causing problems in easyform, it seems best to keep Plone 5.2 on the older zope.schema 6.0.0. I will make a PR first.

@mactrash Can you try with zope.schema = 6.0.0?

Confirm

Tag zope.schema = 6.0.0

Will work for easyform issue.

Thanks

I have updated the versions and constraints in the 5.2.5-pending directory to use zope.schema 6.0.0.

I have made the 5.2.5 release final:
