     Features Added
 
+     - Collector #1233: Scripts written before the new configuration
+       behavior in Zope 2.7 used to be able to simply do "import Zope;
+       app = Zope.app()" to get a hold of the root Zope object.  With
+       the introduction of the new configuration machinery, an extra
+       step needed to be taken, so the equivalent becomes "import Zope;
+       Zope.configure('/path/to/configfile'); app=Zope.app()".
+       This feature "fixes" that by allowing an environment variable
+       "ZOPE_CONFIG" to be set.  If the ZOPE_CONFIG envvar is set,
+       the "Zope.configure(..)" line can be omitted, as the startup
+       process will take the vaule of ZOPE_CONFIG as the config file
+       name.
+
      - New top-level configuration file directive:
        'session-resolution-seconds'.  This represents an integer value
        specifying the number of seconds to be used as the "timeout resolution"
