     Features Added
 
+      - The zLOG package is now backed by Vinay Sajip's "PEP 282" logger
+        which has been included in lib/python/logging.  As a result,
+	the ZLogger package was removed (as its only real duty was to
+	handle syslog-based logging).
+
+      - Zope's shutdown process is now more careful and clean. It
+        avoids sending half-complete responses to clients, particularly
+        when running in a cluster using ICP.

       - ZTUtils.Iterator now handles any object that has a Python
         iterator, resolving Collector #385 and #577.  The
         implementation is somwhat simpler, as well.

+      - Collector #651: WebDAV Lock Manager was broken.

       - Removed the signal handler hung off USR1 for packing the database.
