  Changes for the JPicture Product

    JPicture 2.0

      **Warning**: JPicture 2.0 is not compatible with Python
                   1.5.x and Zope versions before 2.4.0 anymore!
                   Stay with 1.1 if you have Python 1.5.2!

      Features added:

        * If PIL is installed then thumbnails can be generated 
          automatically from the "Properties" tab.

        * Cataloging has been integrated by allowing the selection
          of a catalog on the "Add" form that is then used to 
          catalog/recatalog or uncatalog the object as needed.

      Bugs fixed:

        * The thumbnail properties will now show up correctly on
          the ZMI "Properties" tab.

        * Properties that should not be edited directly cannot be
          edited anymore on the "Properties" ZMI tab.


    JPicture 1.1

      Features added:

        * Simplified edit screen with integrated file upload fields
          instead of separating them

        * Simplified "View" tab that will show both the image and 
          the thumbnail at once.

        * If Zope HTTP cache managers can be acquired in the 
          location where a JPicture is to be added the add form will
          show available cache managers and the association with the
          selected acache manager is done upon JPicture creation.
  

    JPicture 1.0

      Bugs fixed:

        * Complete reshuffling of all package contents to align the
          product with the "canonical" way of structuring a Zope
          python product

        * Deprecated use of __ac_permissions__ in favor of the new
          ClassSecurityInfo declarative security framework

        * Replaced all instances of HTMLFile with DTMLFile, which is 
          the preferred class for your Zope management screens

        * Ripped out all cataloging code and no longer subclassing
          from CatalogAware. I found I never used it myself and it
          just opens up more sources for programming errors.

        * Consolidated all uploading facilities into the "Edit" 
          management tab instead of separate "Upload" tabs

        * Used manage_page_header and all the nifty new ZMI features
          that appeared in Zope 2.3.0

        * Deprecated use of MessageDialogs in the management screens

        * Wrote help screens for all management views


    JPicture 0.0.2 (4/30/00)

      Features added:

        * Thumbnail attribute added with all facilities to add, change
          or upload thumbnail data. viewThumb method added to view the
          thumbnail by itself or a text string if no thumbnail is 
          available.


    JPicture 0.0.1

      The start (4/29/00)
