Uh. Ok, this is getting boring ;) Release early and release often
taken to the extreme.

We are proud to present the beta 3 release of Archetypes 1.2.0. This
release includes the following improvements, in no particular order:

• Added two new classes: BaseContentMixin and BaseFolderMixin which
  are exactly like BaseFolder and BaseContent, but without the
  ExtensibleMetadata. In fact, they are BaseFolder and BaseContent
  stripped down and BaseFolder and BaseContent just subclass them.
• BaseObject now uses getCharset to consistently use the portal
  charset in all places where unicode is used.
• Added tests for External Editor integration. Make sure a BaseUnit
  is always returned.
• Merged patch by Ricardo Lemmi for GadflyStorage.
• Fixed unicode tests that were broken
• Added a few marshaller tests (to check that both a .doc and a .rst
  file are uploaded and retrieved correctly by default)
• Fixed BaseObject.get_size() to behave correctly w/ regards to
  DateTime fields and other fields that are not easily measureable
• Added an optional ‘values’ keyword argument to processForm which
  has preference over REQUEST.form
• Various improvements on schema migration, thanks to Geoff Davis
• DisplayList is now publically accessible. That means you can import
  it from Script (Python)

With those changes, Archetypes is now quickly approaching a final and
stable release.

This release no more includes a CVS checkout of
PortalTransforms, since a release has been made last week. Instead,
you can get PortalTransforms from this location:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/archetypes/PortalTransforms-1.0.tar.gz?download

See the PortalTransforms announcement here:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=326571

OTOH, this release includes ArchGenXML, which is a tool to generate
Archetypes-enabled products from UML diagrams. From ArchGenXML README:

ArchGenXML is a commandline utility that generates Plone
applications based on the Archetypes framework from XMI (UML) and
XSD (XMLSchema) files.

It is tested with the XMI output from the following tools:
ObjectDomain, Sybase PowerDesigner, ArgoUML, Poseidon, KDE’s
Umbrello.
