Hi all, on behalf of Zope Corporation and the Zope community I am pleased to announce the release of Zope 2.8.2. You can download Zope 2.8.2 from http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.2/ Some new features of Zope 2.8: - ZODB 3.4 with MVCC (multi version concurrency control) support. MVCC solves nearly every problem with ZODB read-conflict errors which is very important for high-traffic Zope sites. - Extension Classes were rewritten as Python new-style classes making all features of Python new-style classes available in Zope objects. This includes support for cyclic garbage collection. - Integration of Zope 3 technologies through Five (see http://codespeak.net/z3/five/) For more information on what is new in this release, see the CHANGES.txt files for the release: http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.2/CHANGES.txt See also: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/Zope2.8/OverView Please bring all the bugs you have found to the Zope bugtracker: http://collector.zope.org/Zope":http://collector.zope.org/Zope For more information on the available Zope releases, guidance for selecting the right distribution and installation instructions, please see: http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/InstallingZope.stx Please also keep in mind that Zope 2.8.2 requires Python 2.3.5. Zope 2.8.2 is not certified for any Python 2.4.x versions. So using Python 2.4 is neither recommended nor supported and any related questions or problems are likely to be ignored until 2.4 is an officially supported Python version for Zope. -- Andreas Jung (andreas at zopyx dot com)
Hooray, new stable releases are always a happy day :) Thank you Andreas! Sadly, I have to report some SNAFUs on zope.org, so I am cc'ing the zope-web list: On the "Download Zope" page, the latest stable version is still listed as 2.8.1. http://www.zope.org/Products/ Also from the main download page, the link labelled "Our entire collection of zope releases is here" pointing to http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/swpackage_releases requires you to be logged in. Anonymous can't view that page. (And I get "insufficient privileges" when I am logged in.) The same authorization problem occurs when clicking on the "zope" breadcrumb from the 2.8.2 or 2.7.8 release pages, which points to http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope Also, looking over the release notes, I see that there is one bugfix that made it into the 2.8 branch and the trunk, thanks to Andreas - the #1895 fix to test.py. But the fix does not seem to have been noted in CHANGES.txt on the 2.8 branch or the trunk. It *is* in the 2.7.8 CHANGES.txt because I made sure to do that when I made the same fix on the 2.7 branch. If there are no objections, I will modify CHANGES.txt on the 2.8 branch and the trunk. Thanks again! -PW Andreas Jung said:
