* Add ``dos_protection`` config. With Zope 5.8.4+ you may get ``zExceptions.BadRequest: data exceeds memory limit`` when uploading an image or file of more than 1 MB. To increase this limit, you can add this in your instance recipe, and choose your own limit: `zope-conf-additional = <dos_protection>form-memory-limit 4MB</dos_protection>`
* `plone.app.discussion`: Provide HCaptcha if `plone.formwidget.hcaptcha` is installed. Apply validation for all captchas.
* `plone.restapi`: Added `@site` and `@navroot` endpoints.

* For the rest see the full packages changelog linked above.

This release supports Python 2.7 and 3.8.

Python 3.6 and 3.7 should still work, but these are end of life, untested, and no longer supported.

Plone 5.2 still supports Python 2.7, but this is end-of-life since 2020. It should only be used as a temporary stepping stone before you migrate your Plone site to Python 3.

There is still a [Unified Installer](https://launchpad.net/plone/5.2/5.2.15). One warning there: we could no longer test this on Python 2.7. It *should* work though.

For previous Plone 5.2 patch releases we always added all used package distributions on the dist.plone.org server, so you could use this as a "find-link" in Buildout or pip.
This was a historical practice, mostly to have a fallback when a distribution of a third party package was removed from the Python Package Index.
This problem hardly ever happens anymore, so the added value of uploading these distributions is questionable.
It turned out to be harder to gather all packages, so I abandoned it.
If you somehow need this, it should work fine to add the directory of the previous release to the find-links:
https://dist.plone.org/release/5.2.14/
Only a few packages have different versions in 5.2.15.
