plone.locking 4.0.0

webdav locking support

Overview

Provides basic automatic locking support for Plone. Locks are stealable by default, meaning that a user with edit privileges will be able to steal another user’s lock, but will be warned that someone else may be editing the same object. Used by Plone, Archetypes and plone.app.iterate
