Hi! If there are no objections, I'd like to merge two changes into the Zope-2_8-branch before 2.8.1 is released: 1.) Backports from zope.tal to TAL and a small modification of ustr: http://svn.zope.org/?rev=37613&view=rev http://svn.zope.org/?rev=37614&view=rev This is a fix needed by Five to handle massageIDs correctly. I don't expect any backwards compatibility issues. 2.) Backport of Interfaces.bridge from the Zope trunk: http://svn.zope.org/?rev=33270&view=rev This is a new utility function for z2 -> z3 interface migration. It doesn't change any existing code, so there should be no risk. I guess it would be useful for many products, at least CMF trunk could benefit from that bridging code. Any comments? Cheers, Yuppie
