NZO Alpha Announcement
by Sidnei da Silva 26 Mar '03

26 Mar '03

Greetings, Its been quite some time since I announced the pre-Alpha state of NZO. Lots of things happened since then, and as promised, Im releasing today the alpha version of NZO. Improvements worth of note on this version: - Trackers were migrated to CMFCollector - How-Tos and Tips were migrated - Loads of cleanups on CSS and HTML. - CMFPackage (Software Product) now has MD5 checksums - All content of Zope.org except /Wikis (pending a hand from Shane with a misbehaving script) as of March 14 was migrated. - Objects have a 'obsolete' workflow state, that will be used to mark old content and remove it on the next round of migration. - The search page has a google-like look. There is a lot of room for improvement still, and some things that need to be solved, like migrating memberdata safely to LDAP and cleaning ancient content and DTML methods that may cause infinite recursion. Many thanks to the people that gave suggestions so far, Peter, Paul, Jan, George, and Tonico who made the last mockup which in my opinion was one of the biggest improvements. On the following weeks, we will be discussing the next steps on getting this to replace the current Zope.org and will continue improving whats here.

[Ann] "ReadCommitted" transaction isolation level
by Dieter Maurer 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

When you are plagued by "ReadConflictError"s, you might be interested in the "ReadCommitted" transaction isolation level. Usually, a transaction receives a "ReadConflictError" when it tries to load an object from ZODB that has been modified since transaction start. Usually, the application will abort the transaction in this case and restart it. When transactions are long or writes a frequent, "ReadConflictError"s can become a plague. That's when the "ReadCommitted" transaction isolation level can step in. Rather than raising a "ReadConflictError", it reads the state as it was when the transaction started, provided the storage supports "undo". If this is not the case, a "ReadConflictError" is raised. You find a patch (against Zope 2.6.1) that provides the "ReadCommitted" isolation level at <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope> Dieter
