The third beta release of Plone 6 has arrived! Release Manager for this version is Maurits van Rees (despite the automated text above).

For technical wizards who want to jump straight in, here are two important links:

Highlights

Major changes since 6.0.0b2:

  • Products.PlonePAS: Increase the minimum password length to 8 characters.

  • pip: We have actually downgraded pip because version 22.2 and higher have an incompatibility with Buildout. Buildout works, but it cannot read the information about which Python versions are required for a package. If you do not use Buildout, feel free to use the latest pip version.

  • plone.restapi:

    • Add @userschema endpoint for getting the user schema.

    • Add @transactions endpoint to fetch transactions that have been made through the Plone website.

    • Added @aliases endpoint with GET/POST/DELETE.

    • Improve performance of serializing image scales.

  • TinyMCE rich text editor updates in various packages:

    • Disable advlist plugin by default, it produces unclean inline styles.

    • Add inserttable to toolbar.

    • Add and improve table styles.

    • Add UI styles in non-inline mode.

    • Actually load theme-specified styles CSS in TinyMCE.

  • plone.staticresources:

    • Use successor repository of svg-country-flags.

    • Upgrade to Bootstrap 5.2.2.

    • Upgrade to Mockup 5.0.0-alpha.24.
