Hi all - We're planning on releasing a Zope 2.6.1 b1 today, and I wanted to give the dev folks a heads-up and let people know the plan for getting to 2.6.1 final. The release today will contain some ZODB / ZEO fixes as well as the datetime fix and some other fixes added since 2.6.0. We will be having a "bug day" next Tuesday, and the goal will be that those fixes will also go into the Zope-2_6-branch to be included in a 2.6.1 beta 2 to be release hopefully around the end of next week. Assuming there are no issues with the b2 release, we'll plan on making it final a week or so after that for a late xmas present :) This schedule should also provide enough time for the valiant volunteers working on the 2.6.1 version of the Zope Book to finalize things for the release.
