Correct, the changes are stored in the database of uncommitted
transactions on the server.

BTW, thanks to Michel Pelletier here, the word "Session" has now been
stricken and replaced, as long promised, by "Version".  Those of you
checking out Zope from CVS might notice this.

Michel also starting work on renaming and fixing Principia Drafts, as
well as work on an honest-to-goodenss Session object.  Oh, and he also
gave a *killer* demo of NotMail yesterday.  He has hooked the folders to
the tree tag and implemented a connection manager object that
dramatically speeds up response time.

Unfortunately he's out for a week. :^)

Those of you doing a CVS checkout might also find out our big
announcement for today.
