The first full Zenoss 3.0 (2.5.70) alpha release (codenamed 'Stone Crab') is now available for download and installation. Zenoss 3.0 includes a large number of bug fixes, runs on Python 2.6 and Zope 2.12 and has a completely redesigned user interface. The new user interface features an updated framework, new navigation layout and many redesigned pages. This will also be important for ZenPack authors, as this is the first time that they can test their ZenPack's compatibility with the latest UI changes and see how things work with the new user interface.
