I realize this is a completely silly and impossible question, but for a new Linux-based production server to run Zope, we feel a bit squeezed between using 1.10 (which does not have Z Classes), 1.11.0pr1 (which has proven to be quite stable but does not support concurrency), and 2.0.0a1 or the latest CVS version (which is an alpha, and which I have not attempted to run for stability testing).
We'd be able to live with an unstable server for a couple (literally speaking, I think) of weeks, but beyond that time, we would like something of production, or at least beta, quality. Until this is cleared up we can cope with 1.110pr1, I guess.
*Seems* stable to me.
It may be very stable. You may setup a vast production site with it. You may find a very excellent bug that may trash all your work.
If it makes you feel any better, we'll fix the bug if it's there. ;)
Great, what about all the things mentioned in the 2.0.0a1 release notes? Release notes mention that alpha 2 "will be released in the week of May 26," which obviously did not happen. Are you behind schedule? The alpha 1 todo list is relatively serious, eg., "Most database adapters are likely to be problematic [...] when running Zope 2 with multiple threads" -- eek! Which ones are subject this to this problem? I could not find documentation on compatibility issues with ZODB2, either (probably covered on this list at some point; would you care to repeat?), ie. can I just copy by data.bbb into the alpha version? Do you recommend updating the sources from the public CVS after installing alpha 1?
