Plone 5.2a2 released

Development
1

Plone 5.2a2 has been soft-released. Please give it a try and let me know if there are any critical issues. http://dist.plone.org/release/5.2a2-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.

@esteele: Confirmed. The folder http://dist.plone.org/release/5.a2-pending does not exist.

That should be http://dist.plone.org/release/5.2a2-pending/versions.cfg. I fixed the link in the original post.

I'm still getting a 404 on that one though. I can confirm everything looks correct on the dist.plone.org filesystem.

Are you sure of the file ownership and permissions?

Yeah, they match all of the other directories/files in /release.

That means I'm not sure on how Cloudflare is set up and that 403 is truly from the cache. Does it currently only allow for cache purging via the web clickety admin UI? PyPI allows for anonymous PURGE requests. Should dist.plone.org do that too?

Sorry for missing this. We/I changed the IP address for dist.Plone.org to the new Six Feet Up VM. Ping me directly via email or here

Oh man!

Alrighty. We should be good now.

What are the minimum versions of Python 2.7.x and 3.x for Plone 5.2? Need to update https://training.plone.org/5/mastering-plone/installation.html#installing-plone and the unreleased 5.2 branch for https://docs.plone.org/manage/installing/requirements.html#plone-5. Thank you!

If I recall correctly you need at least Python 2.7.14 to run ZEO on Plone 5.2.

For Python 3, you can use either Python 3.6 or 3.7. I am not aware of any minimum bugfix releases.
