Plone 6.0.5 soft released

Announcements
1

Plone 6.0.5 has been soft-released. Please give it a try and let me know if there are any critical issues.
See also the checklist for this release .

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.

Release notes for Plone 6.0.5rc1

If you want to jump straight in, here are two important links:

    • pat tinymce: Add urlconverter_callback and do not convert external links/images urls
    • pat tinymce: Do not remove current paragraph when inserting image.
  • Several packages: Fix cyclic dependencies, drop Python 2 or Plone 5.2 support.

Volto frontend

The default frontend for new Plone 6 sites is Volto. Latest release is 16.20.7. See the changelog.
Note that this is a JavaScript frontend that you need to run in a separate process with NodeJS.

Also, existing Plone sites need some or more extensive changes to be upgraded before they can use the Volto Frontend. Please read the guide on migrating from Plone Classic UI to Volto.

Classic UI

The HTML based and server side rendered UI that was present in Plone 5.2 and earlier major Plone releases is still available and has also been updated and improved upon in Plone 6. Our documentation now refers to this frontend as 'Classic UI'. Support for Classic UI is especially relevant for existing Plone sites which for whatever reason or requirements are not yet ready to be upgraded to the Volto frontend.

Python compatibility

This release supports Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11.

pip, buildout, setuptools

In Plone core we use these versions to install Plone:

pip==23.0.1
setuptools==67.6.1
wheel==0.40.0
zc.buildout==3.0.1

In general you are free to use whatever versions work for you, but these worked for us.

Note that setuptools 66 or higher is more strict with what versions it can recognize. If you run pip or buildout and it suddenly cannot find a package with a non-standard version, then this may be the cause.

Installation

For installation instructions, see the documentation.

Issues

If you find any issues, please report them in the main issue tracker.

We've just tried the latest 6.0-dev buildout here and it works perfectly :+1:t3:

i switch the content of my constraints.txt to:

# -c https://dist.plone.org/release/6.0.4/constraints.txt
-c https://dist.plone.org/release/6.0-dev/constraints.txt

and run

mxdev -c mx.ini
pip install -r requirements-local-mxdev.txt
runwsgi -v instance/etc/zope.ini

it ends with an error:

    zope.interface.interfaces.ComponentLookupError: (<InterfaceClass zope.security.interfaces.IPermission>, 'plone.app.contentrules.ManageContentRules')

plone.restapi cannot find the permission, perhaps an explicit include needed?

The restapi / contentrules startup error will depend on the order in which packages get loaded, works fine in my case. But indeed plone.restapi should be fixed. I made a PR.

6

I have made the 6.0.5 release final. Differences between final and the release candidate:

  • Added plone.app.upgrade 3.0.5, I forgot creating that!
  • plone.restapi 8.39.1 fixing the above mentioned possible startup error.
  • Products.CMFPlone: Fix password validation tests.
  • Products.CMFPlone: membershipSearch in UsersGroupsControlPanelView should respect many_groups, many_users Option and empty Searchstring.

Official announcements to follow later.
