Thanks Dieter. I didn't mean to upgrade to 2.2 first, only that those changes are valid for all post 2.1 versions of zope.
But Zope 2.2 contained drastic changes with respect to the security policy. Any upgrade from before 2.2 to something after 2.2 needs to take this into consideration.
As you probably understand, upgrade and installation instructions can not accumulate information for all old Zope versions. Thus, the upgraders of old versions need to read old instructions.
But, you go directly to the latest Zope version. When you get strange security exceptions, you read the "upgrade to 2.2" and the Zope Security Policy document (developped for 2.2; maybe meanwhile upgraded).
Would you recommend Zope 2.4 of 2.5? Zope 2.5 with Python 2.1.2! Zope 2.4/Python 2.1.1 contains quite a few problems with memory management.
