Has anyone had trouble using Versions recently?
Should I advise against using Versions in the Zope Book?
I have had problems with a Version recently in 2.6.2: work in a version, accept the changes, delete the version - not the end of the story as Zope believed that one folder was still locked by the version and would not allow modification of material which had been in the version.
We have also had big problems with versions in the root.
In both cases we had to rely on our Zope guru (thanks, Chris!) to poke around until the problem cleared. I don't think Chris actually knew what he did to fix it - certainly restarts etc didn't help.
Seen this... It seams that the list of objects in a version does not work. therefore the release/delete etc fail to get all items... I was in the same the situatin descrivbed above... I undid the release, the released each modified file individually, then it worked. Seams such a pity to through away such a usefull feature, because of such a small bug... But then again, there you have it... Jerry P.S. I avoid it also. I now copy directories, work on copy and then rename to "Release" into production... Almost as good for simple applicattions...
So a warning might be useful...
