Announcing Plone 3.0-rc1

I'm happy to be able to announce the Plone 3.0-rc1 release. This is
the first and hopefully last release candidate release beta before
we release Plone 3.0-final.

Since the beta3 release we have been improving migrations from previous
Plone versions and we feel confident that migration is now working
properly. As always third party products can affect upgrades, so make
sure all your products support Plone 3 and follow their upgrade
instructions when upgrading your site to Plone 3.

The user interface has also been cleaned up further, making Plone even
easier to use.

With this release Plone 3 now requires Zope 2.10.4 or a later 2.10.x
version. Older versions and Zope 2.11 are not unsupported. 

We feel that Plone 3 is a major improvement over previous Plone releases
for both users and developers. An overview of what is new in this
release can be found in the release notes at
http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/CMFPlone/tags/3.0-rc1/RELE... .
Detailed upgrade instructions for developers can be found at

Regards,
Wichert.
