None I'm aware of. Did you have a look at the interfaces?

'ActionInfo' was implemented before we started using adapters in Zope 2, 
but it adapts IAction objects (or oldstyle action dicts), providing 
IActionInfo. I guess today we would implement 'ActionInfo' as 
multi-adapter. 'ActionInfo' objects are the non-persistent objects 
returned by listFilteredActionsFor(), listActionInfos() and getActionInfo().

'Action' and 'ActionInformation' are two different implementations of 
IAction. The CMF 2.0 ActionsTool uses 'Action' objects, the TypeInfos 
still use the old 'ActionInformation' objects. 'Action' objects are the 
persistent configuration objects.

There is also the FiveActionsTool that creates 'ActionInformation' 
objects from ZCML settings and DCWorkflow that creates action dicts from 
Transitions.
