Changelog

4.0.0a9 (2026-03-30)

Bug fixes:

• Add munge_search_term, BAD_CHARS, and MULTISPACE as canonical location in plone.base.utils. Fix multi-word search so all word parts get wildcard prefix matching, not just the last one. @jensens (#4205)

4.0.0a8 (2026-03-25)

New features:

• Add plone.base.interfaces.IAddonList. [maurits] (#4155)

Bug fixes:

4.0.0a6 (2026-02-26)

Bug fixes:

• Update id collision checks with missing checks from CMFPlone.

  Some of the checks in utils._check_for_collision or erroneous. These checks were updated with the original checks from CMFPlone. The tests depend on a fully set-up site and remain in CMFPlone.

4.0.0a5 (2026-02-23)

Bug fixes:

• Allow to create content with index_html id on the site root.

  The portal root has a index_html method which prevented content with the id index_html to be created and used as a default page.

New features:

  Add new IClassicUISchema control panel schema with its plone.use_ajax_main_template setting.

  When plone.use_ajax_main_template is enabled, and if we are in an XHR request, Plone uses the AJAX main template. Note: This setting does not affect the ajax_load query string parameter, which if set and evaluates to true, will always trigger the AJAX main template.

3.1.0 (2025-06-18)

New features:

• Add a “is_truthy” utility to test for true-ish and false-ish string values.

  The following values are interpreted as an affirmative value and will return a boolean True:

  True, 1 and these strings in any casing: “y”, “yes”, “t”, “true”, “active”, “enabled”, “on”.

  Everything else will be interpreted as False.
