Hi. I was just reviewing what is pending for ZODB 3.9. https://bugs.launchpad.net/zodb/3.9/+bugs Looks like all of the bugs listed for 3.9 are fixed or fixes are known and pending. Is a ZODB 3.9 beta around the corner? According to changes.txt the first alpha of 3.9 was cut almost 1/2 year ago cheers alan
