An object with lines properties in Zope264rc2 returns a tuple, while in Zope261 it returns a list. I haven't found information about this, neither in the 264rc2's changes log nor within this list. Is it a bug or a new feature?
It is a bug fix / security fix. Storing properties in lists is bad because lists are mutable and cannot be protected directly using security assertions. ...
I used to use that as a feature, though I agree that it can also be a potential security breach. Maybe it's worth the pain to put that as a configurable feature in z2.py, and the new standard as default.
Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have a rewriting weekend. Does this break code to anyone else?
Won't 'list(prop)' work? Or are you trying to change the property's contents in place? Even so, it's not hard to fix. --jcc -- "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
