I'm using TransactionAgents (which is a variant of ZPatterns that works 
with 2.4.x) on a couple of large projects, with no problems.

There are no incompatible API changes between the latest release of 
ZPatterns, and TransactionAgents. The only externally visible change 
that might need changes to code is where you're using subtransactions.

This is now handled better and more consistently. The change to the 
larger of my ZPatterns projects was that I no longer needed to commit a 
subtransaction at a certain point.


The complex parts of TransactionAgents to do with transactions have a 
suite of unit tests.


Here's the TransactionAgents-0.3 announcement:
