I'm planning to merge the new-install-branch efforts recently discussed on this list into the Zope 2 trunk tomorrow. There will be things to do after the merge, but the basic functionality will be more easily testable and easier to contribute to. There's a bit more testing to be done before the merge can occur; I'll be doing that tonight and tomorrow morning. I'll send a note to the zope-coders list before I actually start the merge. For a description of the changes (and the ensuing discussion), refer to this thread: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2003-March/018999.html Perhaps the most immediate change is that the Windows tests may become completely wedged, since we've not had time to do any testing on Windows yet. If anyone has time to do so (and a suitable platform), please don't hesitate to send bug reports before the merge! Checkout instructions are included in the message referenced above. -Fred -- Fred L.
