I think that the following outstanding to-dos for Zope 2.8 should be completed before a beta release: - Renable C permission roles by implementing recent Python changes in C, brining the Python and C implementations back in sync. See lib/python/AccessControl/PermissionRole.py. - Add cyclic-garbage collection support to C extension classes, especially to acquisition wrappers. - Change acquisition wrappers to implement the descr get slot directly, thus speeding the use of the slot. - Renable C Zope security policy by implementing recent Python changes in C, brining the Python and C implementations back in sync. See lib/python/AccessControl/ZopeSecurityPolicy.py. Andreas
