... Uppsss...my *big* mistake. Both the milestone plan and my iCAL calendar have an entry 2005/06/11 for 2.8 final but somehow I had in my mind I would release 2.8 final two weeks after b2 and not three weeks as planned :-/ So let's stick to the published schedule ...so everyone has one more week. Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks, I like that better. I'll arrange to make and get ZODB 3.4 final into this over the coming week. Something still "needs to be done" about the Windows release process here. It looks like a Windows installer never got built for 2.8b2: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.0b2 Since Windows users never got to try 2.8b2, I'm not sure where the idea that the Windows problems have been fixed comes from (I realize some tests pass that used to fail on Windows -- users trying it is a much better "test case" <wink>). I'm trying to build a 2.8b2 installer now, and will upload it if/when that succeeds. First snag: the 2.8b2 tag was made with the WinBuilders part still pointing at Zope 2.8b1, so it wasn't possible to create a 2.8b2 Windows installer from the 2.8b2 tag. So that part of the release process also needs work. Does anyone believe that they're "in charge" of the Windows part of the Zope2 line? Someone identifiable needs to be; I can only volunteer time here because it's a weekend & I don't happen to have any urgent ZODB or ZRS bugs to stare at today. Later: Zope-2.8.0-b2-win32.exe is built now, and after some more testing I'll upload it to http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.0b2 Windows users please give this a try -- it's your last (and in some sense, also your first <wink>) chance to try "the real" Zope 2.8 on Windows.
