Change information for previous versions of Zope can be found in the
file HISTORY.txt.
- Zope 2.6.1 beta 1
-
- Bugs Fixed
-
- - Deadlock prevention code added.
-
- It was possible for earlier versions of ZODB to deadlock when
- using multiple storages. If multiple transactions committed
- concurrently and both transactions involved two or more shared
- storages, deadlock was possible. This problem has been fixed
- by introducing a sortKey() method to the transaction and
- storage APIs that is used to define an ordering on transaction
- participants. This solution will prevent deadlocks provided
- that all transaction participants that use locks define a
- valid sortKey() method. A warning is raised if a participant
- does not define sortKey(). For backwards compatibility,
- BaseStorage provides a sortKey() that uses __name__.
-
- - Fixed bug in FileStorage related to object uncreation. An
- attempt to load an uncreated object now raises KeyError.
-
- - Fixed a couple bugs in FileStorage recover() that wrote
- incorrect backpointers.
-
- - Fixed data_txn attribute of iterator data records to use
- the transaction id of the previous transaction, even if it
- also has a data_txn field.
-
- - Fixed conflict resolution bug that raised a NameError when a
- class involved in a conflict could not be loaded.
-
- - Fixed C extensions that included standard header files before
- Python.h, which is not allowed.
-
- - Added code to ThreadedAsync/LoopCallback.py to work around a
- bug in asyncore.py: a handled signal can cause unwanted reads
- to happen.
+ Zope 2.7.0 alpha 1
- - Collector #651: WebDAV Lock Manager was broken.
-
- - Collector #646: metal:slot was lost during the I18n merge.
-
- - Collector #640: Fix security assertion on ZCTextIndex query method.
-
- - Delayed opening the ZODB until after the "Zope" module has
- been imported, fixing a deadlock issue involving ZEO. The
- "Zope" module now has a "startup()" function.
-
- - Fixed a NameError in the recent change to DateTime.rfc822().
-
- - Made DateTime.rfc822() simpler and independent of local timezone.
-
- - Fixed bug in Transience reported by kedai which caused spurious
- KeyErrors under heavy sessioning usage.
+ Features Added
- - Fixed bug in the Interface Verify package; base interfaces were not
- included in an interface compliancy test.
+ - 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.
+ http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/CleanShutdown
+
+ - ZTUtils.Iterator now handles any object that has a Python
+ iterator, resolving Collector #385 and #577. The
+ implementation is somwhat simpler, as well.
- - Collector #650: Fixed implicit list marshalling for lists where the
- first two values are tainted.
+ - ZTUtils.Tree.TreeMaker now has additional methods for setting
+ various flags and attributes that influence how the tree is built,
+ making these aspects accessible to PythonScripts.
- - Collector #671: HTTP Ranges were broken for files and images whose
- length wasn't exactly divisible by 2**16.
+ - ZTUtils.Tree.TreeMaker has a new method setStateFunction, which
+ allows you to set a callback function that can influence the state
+ (open, closed, leaf) of each node in the tree.
- - ModuleSecurityInfo declarations could be lost if further declarations
- were made after the Info object already had been applied. Such
- additional declarations could take place in Python trusted code run
- after Zope strartup or during a Product refresh.
+ - Pidfile handling improved. When Zope is started under
+ zdaemon, it no longer writes its own pidfile. Instead, it
+ passes in the path to Z2.pid to zdaemon as its pidfile name.
+ The 'zProcessManager.pid' file is no longer ever written.
+ This caused a change to the -Z option of z2.py which should be
+ mostly backwards-compatible (unless people were relying on
+ zProcessManager.pid to be written). Now the -Z option is a
+ boolean. -Z1 means use a daemon. -Z0 means dont. The
+ default is -Z1.
- - Collector #699: MailHosts created in 2.5 breaks in 2.6.
+ - Collector #670: applied patch from Dieter Maurer to enhance
+ the Zope profiling support
- - Collector #694: dtml-sendmail mailto specification replaces "To:" header.
- - Collector #702: DateTime.rfc822() fails without daylight saving
+ Bugs Fixed
- Collector #703: KeyErrors raised when unindexing a PathIndex should
be swallowed and logged.
- Zope 2.6.0
-
- Bugs Fixed
-
- - Caused many places throughout the code base to use
- calls to user.getId() rather than user.getUserName(). With
- most (all?) user folder implementations today, this will have
- no behavioral change, as getId is always alised to getUserName.
- However, this makes it possible to write user folder
- implementations which make the distinction between the user's
- id and the user's name. These user folders will allow users
- to change names independent of their identity.
-
- - WebDAV Lock Manager actually gives the user a chance to
- specify a starting path **before** searching for locks,
- shortening query times and memory usage in large Zope
- instances.
-
- - PageTemplateFiles were previously owned by whatever object
- contained them. This resulted in very hard bugs if the user who
- owned the container was removed. Since PageTemplateFiles come
- from the filesystem, they are now "unowned", similar to
- DTMLFiles. Security is still applied, but now it is applied
- correctly.

- - Collector #603: ZTUtils.Tree.encodeExpansion encoded depth with '.'

- - Collector #605: ZTUtils.Tree.decodeExpansion set no limits on the

- - The fix for issue #144 broke the ability to create an empty Image or

-
- - ZTUtils.Zope.TreeSkipMixin allows you to skip unauthorized objects in
- the tree, but the filter wasn't applied when trying to filter candidate
