• New reference implementation with annotation objects on the source object including metadata
• A seperated MimetypesRegistry
• Hundreds of smaller and bigger fixes to Archetypes and all dependency products.
• Fixed at least three possible memory leaks. Now the reference count for all objects keeps stable even after several thousands of requests.

Thanks to all contributors!

We started a list of all the contributors, but it's impossible to give everyone a fair mention. So forgive us if you have to look at the HISTORY.txt file and CVS/SVN-logs.

But anyway, one person needs to be singled out: Christian Tiran Heimes. He did a really amazing job to push Archetypes to this release.

A great thanks also to all submitters of bugreports and fixes. Testing is a very important aspect of a project like Archetypes, and it is at least as important as development.

Bug Reports

If you find any bugs in this release and they are not already reported: Please submit them to the bug-tracker. If you can provide a patch too, this is double-plus good. ;)
