Here's the status - an engagement that we're doing has been bringing up some issues regarding ZODB and ZEO in large-scale environments. I think that the fixes are useful enough that they should be in 2.6.1, but getting them "finalized" has taken longer than I expected.
I'd love to know what kind of thing 'large-scale' implies here, and what kind of problems the fixes fixed.
"Large-scale" meaning large numbers of ZEO clients, that mount multiple ZEO-served databases that are each replicated using ZRS (Zope Corp.'s replication / failover solution) :^) The changes have to do with coordination of transaction commit among multiple databases, manageability and fault-tolerance. I'll ask Jeremy to be sure to update the CHANGES.txt with the important changes. Brian Lloyd brian@zope.com V.P. Engineering 540.361.1716 Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com
