1.0.1   06/09/2002      Stable Release

- Fixed FTP access to ExternalFile contents (thanks Benji!)

1.0	05/26/2002	Stable Release

- Added Batch Create function to the ZMI to automatically create
  an instance of ExternalFile for every file within a directory.

- Fixed bug where new image files could not be uploaded via the edit
  form.

- Added getMimeType() as new IExternalFile method

- New behave_like: File.  File used for non-image binaries

- Separated out GUI creation workflow from object implementation.
  Workflow is optional: used from ZMI menus, but bypassed if called
  programmatically from Python scripts.

- Separated out Product-wide properties from instance properties.
  Product-wide properties are now controlled by the ProductProperties
  module.  State is maintained via external ASCII files.
  'etc/mime.types' and 'etc/display.types' are loaded in at Zope
  startup time.  ProductProperties apply to all instances of
  ExternalFile.

- Added utilities demonstrating how to create ExternalFile instances
  programmatically without using the default ExternalFile ZMI GUI
  creation workflow screens.  See files 'extras/batchCreate.dtml',
  'extras/uploadCreate.py' and 'extras/uploadCreateForm.dtml'.

- Added RESPONSE=None parameter to getContents() method to fix
  compatibility with the ExternalEditor Zope Product, version 0.2.
