> Highlights
>=20
> The main change in this release is that Discussion is a core add-on.
> Discussion is a feature that allows your site visitors to comment on =
web pages for any content object. The code behind this is in the =
plone.app.discussion package. In Plone 6.0 and earlier, this was a =
dependency of Products.CMFPlone, making it available for installation in =
all Plone sites. In Plone 6.1 it's a dependency of the Plone package.
>=20
> See the upgrade guide =
<https://6.docs.plone.org/backend/upgrading/version-specific-migration/upg=
rade-to-61.html#discussion-is-a-core-add-on> on how to handle this if =
your site has comments and you want to keep them.
>=20
> The following packages are involved in the changes:
>=20
> plone.app.discussion: Move this package in the space of Plone Core =
add-ons.
> It now depends on Products.CMFPlone and is no longer installed by =
default.
> It is still available in the default Plone distribution, but can be =
omitted in customizations.
> Installing this in the Add-ons control panel will enable comments =
globally.
> Products.CMFPlone: Remove dependency on plone.app.discussion.
> plone.app.contenttypes: Do not enable the plone.allowdiscussion =
behavior by default.
> plone.app.dexterity: Move plone.discussion behavior out of this =
package to plone.app.discussion.
> plone.app.upgrade: Cleanup plone.app.discussion settings when the =
package is not available. If the site contains comments, we throw an =
error and stop the upgrade. The advice then is to add the =
plone.app.discussion package.
> Other major changes since 6.1.0a4:
>=20
> plone.app.content:
> getVocabulary: Fix for terms with incomplete HTML.
> Fix select_default_page in VHM hosted sites.
> Products.PortalTransforms: Shortcut in safe_html: Check for signs of =
html or script, skip further processing if none are found.
> Newer docutils that works with Sphinx 8.
> Products.validation:
> Moved to versions-ecosystem.cfg, and no longer test it in core, as =
core Plone is not using it. It is used by the populare addon =
collective.easyform.
> Drop support for Plone 5.2 and for Python 3.7 and lower. Only Plone =
6.0 and 6.1 are supported now.
> Move translations from plone.app.locales to here.
> Products.isurlinportal: No longer patch Products.CMFPlone. Instead, =
Products.CMFPlone will use us directly (it already does, but with a new =
Products.CMFPlone release it will do so more cleanly). This solves =
cyclic dependencies.
> zc.buildout: update to version that works with latest setuptools.
> `plone.app.locales:
> Remove Products.validation translations. They are moved to that =
package.
> Update es, pt-br, eu, cn, and nl translations.
> Products.CMFPlone:
> Use five.registerPackage so an editable install with pip works.
> Use Products.isurlinportal directly, instead of relying on it patching =
our URLTool. This solves a cyclic dependency.
> Volto frontend
>=20
> The default frontend for new Plone 6 sites is Volto.
> Note that this is a JavaScript frontend that you need to run in a =
separate process with NodeJS.
>=20
> Plone 6.1 is meant to be used with Volto 18.
> Latest release is 18.0.0-alpha.42 =
<https://www.npmjs.com/package/@plone/volto/v/18.0.0-alpha.42>. See the =
changelog 2 =
<https://github.com/plone/volto/blob/18.0.0-alpha.42/packages/volto/CHANGE=
LOG.md>.
>=20
> Or use the latest Volto 17.
>=20
> Classic UI
>=20
> 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 6.0 and 6.1. Our documentation =
now refers to this frontend as 'Classic UI'.
>=20
> Docker
>=20
> As we are still in the alpha stage, we are not yet creating =
plone-backend Docker images.
>=20
> Python compatibility
>=20
> This release supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12.
>=20
> pip, buildout, setuptools
>=20
> In Plone core we use these versions to install Plone:
>=20
> pip=3D=3D24.2
> setuptools=3D=3D74.0.0
> wheel=3D=3D0.44.0
> zc.buildout=3D=3D3.1.0
> In general you are free to use whatever versions work for you, but =
these worked for us.
>=20
> Installation
>=20
> For installation instructions, see the documentation =
<https://6.docs.plone.org/install/index.html>.
