[Zope-dev] To the brave folks trying Zope HEAD...

[Jim Fulton]

I announced that, for now, The Zope head won't work with old databases.
We are going to have to come up with some code to deal with the
old btrees and intsets.

The good news is that, databases created with Zope 2.7 final should
work. :)
