The documentation is wrong indeed.

The transaction module has been moved out of the ZODB egg for ZODB trunk
aka 3.9 as far as I know.

That means the stand-alone transaction package can probably not be used
with any ZODB 3.8 versions.

But except the wrong documentation, I don't see a problem with the
release as such. IIRC someone wanted to use it outside the ZODB and it
was moved out and got an early alpha release.
