Change log

Release 0.3

- Attributes are now grouped by AttributeCollection titles in the edit form

- getFlatVocab now returns a DisplayList with AttributeColleciton.title +
' : ' + Attribute.title so that the standard plone view at least has all
the info needed to read the field values in a meaningful way.

- Sped up CategoryWidgets category tree creation by about a bagilion times.
Thanks to Jason Lantz of Hotsos Enterprises, Ltd. for the heavy lifting.

- Added a batch entry form for Attributes and Categories accessable via the
utils tab on each type.

- Eliminated Category template selector in favour of Plone 2.1 Dynamic
Views. Still might need to make this recursive but for now it's strait
Plone.

- Categories now respect published/retracted states. ie. they will not show in CategoryWidget unless they are published.

- Root Categories can now be added anywhere in the Plone content tree and they will be picked up by the vocabulary. they do not need to be in Portal root.

- Fixed display of CategoryWidget arrow graphics

- Simplified category_widget.css a little

- Refactored the product layout to make it more Plone 2.1 like

- PortalTaxonomy now requires Plone 2.1

Issues:

- More than one Category field causes the first fields vocab tree to behave oddly in the edit form. I'll work on this for release 0.4.
