Hi all. We've been working out whether or not the final release of Zope 2.0 should try to support the older .bbb database format as well as the new ZODB3 format. There are a number of technical, backward-compatibility, documentation and support problems associated with trying to support the old format, so I am leaning toward deciding that the 2.0 final release will only use ZODB3 format, and that: a) users with current dbs can run a simple command line tool to create a converted ZODB3 file from your existing Data.bbb or b) we could possibly provide some kind of startup logic in Zope2.0 that would automagically convert your existing .bbb file to a ZODB3 .fs file, if all it was able to find is an old-format file at startup. Before making a final decision though, I wanted to throw this out to the community for comment, to make sure that there are not problems with this approach that we haven't considered...
