To my knowledge the plan was to name the first ZTK release 1.0, to
avoid the confusion of it not being a simple successor of Zope 3.

If Stephan and others are interested in it, they might make a Zope 3.5
release, which could be based on the ZTK 1.0 release. It would
probably include more packages or even all packages found in the Zope
3.4 release.

It's all still pre-alpha work in progress. The most current working
area can be found at:

http://svn.zope.org/zopetoolkit/branches/jim-kgs/kgs/ztk.cfg

Zope 2.12 defines its own mix of versions, which is not the ZTK 1.0
release. It is by now in late beta mode and won't be updated anymore
to follow all the major refactorings happening in the Zope packages.

The 2.12 KGS for the most current release can be found at
http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.12.0b4/versions.cfg

Zope 2.13 uses the latest trunks of all packages and it makes some
sense to base it on a ZTK 1.0 release should that ever happen ;)

It would have been nice to use a shared KGS definition for the zope.*
packages used by Zope 2, but the release timelines and progress being
made where just too different to make that an option for 2.12.
