Plone CMS v4.2 Changes:
New collections
Rules-based theming with Diazo
Other enhancements in Plone 4.2:
A simple way to test mail server settings using a form in the mail settings control panel
HTML5 support
A unified interface for listing content or representations of content (such as catalog brains). This makes it possible to widely reuse templates for content listings without modifying them.
Simplified, easier-to-scan search results, including the ability to search within a section, sorting options, and links to items’ locations on the site
Plone's installers will now use Python 2.7 by default. However, Plone will retain support for Python 2.6.
