Archetypes is a developers framework for rapidly developing and deploying rich, full featured content types within the context of Zope/CMF and Plone.
Archetypes is based around the idea of an Active Schema. Rather than provide a simple description of a new data type, Archetype schemas do the actual work and heavy lifting involved in using the new type. Archetype Schemas serve as easy extension points for other developers as project specific components can be created and bound or you can choose among the rich existing set of features.
Go into the root of your buildout and run:
bin/test Products.Archetypes
Major resource for documentation is located at plone.org.
Archetypes ImageField converts GIF to PNG when it scales see http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/12472 [anthonygerrard]
Delete image also when field mutator is given a None argument. Previously, an image would only be deleted if given the string "DELETE_IMAGE".
Note that we still return immediately if provided an empty string. [malthe]
